17 months

Cole is getting to be such a big boy!! He is talking all the time. He thinks he is so big. He likes to repeat things. I was just thinking the other day? Wow, I wonder how many words he actually has? 1. Just out of curiosity, but 2. Because I know Dr. Mishu is going to ask us in about 2 weeks at his 18 month well visit. Now that sounds crazy! We will have an 18 month old. What happened to my baby?? There is a commercial out right now for Dreft. It ends with saying, "you only have a baby for a year", that is so sad, yet true! Sniff, sniff :(
I can just soak him up ALL day. It is amazing to just watch him and think how amazing this little guy truly is! He is an amazing miracle from God. We are so blessed that God has blessed us with this little guy. My new favorite, which changes often, because he is learning and growing so fast, but this will never get old... Hugs!!! Yes, Cole gives the best hugs! Those little sweet arms wrapped around my neck is priceless!! Cole has also started running. He loves for you to chase him. He has the best laugh/giggle as he runs. Climbing!! Oh boy! Anything and everything he can climb he is attempting. The other night he had climbed up the back of the chair, standing straight up on the back of the chair. He keeps us on our toes for sure :)
Words and signs Cole does...
Momma, daddy, bear, cow, pig, fish, truck, car, chicken, milk, shoes, hat, more, Cole, cheese, ok, and outside. These are the words you know he is saying. He will attempt and try lots more.
He can point to his head, ears, nose, eyes, mouth, and belly when you ask him where they are.
What does a chicken do? He flaps his arms like a chicken, what does a cow say? Moo. If he sees a bear, lion, tiger and a giraffe he puts his hands up like claws and says roar! Not sure about the giraffe? Haha
Cole wouldn't say daddy for a while ( he does all the time now) and Casey was bound and determined for him to say it. So Casey would point to his chest and say "daddy", well now Cole thinks that when you point to your chest that is the sign for daddy! Not sure how we are going to fix that? It's so funny. Just the other day Cole laid his hand on my chest and said "Momma", then he put his hand on his chest and said "Cole". I got all excited and said good job! Then I pointed to my chest and said who am I? He said "daddy". Silly boy!
He says "cheese" now when you take his picture!
