8 months


The best one we got! :)
Well, I am a little late getting this one out because for 8 months Cole got a fever. It wasn't anything bad, but I did get called at work and had to pick him up early. Then we had to stay home the next day since you cannot return to school for 24 hours after having a fever. I thought it was teething, but I have thought most symptoms he has had for the last 4 months have been teething, but still no teeth. We did go see Dr. Mishu because she wanted to rule out an ear infection after I had told her that he had not slept well for the last few nights. She said he was "perfect", her words. I love her accent. She makes it sound so good. She said it was not teething, but it looked like he would get his first tooth next month. Who knows though? Guess we will see :) He only had the fever for about 6 hours, maybe. The highest it got was 101.9, which for babies is not that high. The doctor said at his age they do not even consider it a fever until 101.
Cole is "talking" all the time now. I think I have said this before, but he just keeps talking more and more and now he actually sounds like he is saying words to you. He loves to say da-da. He doesn't know what he is saying but he says it all the the time. I asked him what about ma-ma, he whispered to me da-da. It was SO funny. I didn't know he could whisper either. Everyday he amazes us. He also makes this sound that sounds like "hmm". So when you are talking to him and he makes it, it seems like he knows what you are saying. His facial expressions kill me, so funny! He LOVES music. When he hears it now he will sway,bounce his head or rock back and forth. He got that from his daddy. I like music, but Casey loves it. He use to play lots of different types of music to Cole in my belly. Cole must have been listening :) He loves to clap his hands too! It is just the sweetest thing. I have always been amazed by babies and how fast they learn, but to have your own and experience it day in and day out truly is a blessing. I am looking forward to a wonderful Christmas. I sure do feel blessed and have a lot to be thankful for this year for sure.
Daddy is so silly

What is that camera doing?

Ok, so I said these month to month pictures were getting harder and harder to take and boy was I right! I still do not really like any of the ones we took. He was EVERYWHERE! He kept wanting to crawl towards us, then stand up, then pout, whine and cry a little. Such a mess. Here are a few from the photo shoot...We actually had two!
AAAhhhhhh.....

Little break playing peek-a-boo with daddy
I am going to pout with my lip out.
Ahhh...get me out of here. I am done taking pictures.
