Lucky 7's and Fall

Let's see what I can do now

Tag, found it!

Today Cole is 7 months and Papa is 70! So it is the Lucky 7's for us.

Cole is just getting to be such a big boy! He loves people, smiling, "talking", jumping, shadows and grabbing. Yes grabbing! Anything that is close to him he is grabbing, so watch out. He must check it all out :) Everything is so new to him. I LOVE watching his face as he discovers something new. Shadows are something that are pretty funny to watch too! He looks at it and just laughs, then he gets serious and really concentrates on the shadow to see what it is, then he will try to touch or grab the shadow. The other night he was "pawing" at his own shadow when I was feeding him dinner. I think he was part cat that night. Casey and I were laughing so hard. He could not figure it out. It was pretty priceless. Cole is also a fan of tags. If it has a tag on it he will find it and play with it and/or put it in his mouth. We have noticed him with toys and  blankets especially always finding the tag. It will keep him occupied for quit a while sometimes. He is still not crawling, but he rocks and scoots all over the place. He has also started this new things where he gets up all on fours in a plank like position. Not sure what that is all about, but he is pretty funny doing it. Well, according to the pediatrician last month this is the month Cole will crawl and 10 1/2 months he will walk. Guess we will see. I am not sure if I am ready for all that yet? :) He sits up really well now. He started sitting up right before he turned 6 months, but it would only be for a short time. He sits and plays now for quit a while sitting up like a big boy. He also sits in the shopping cart at the store. He looks like such a big boy.

It has been so beautiful here lately with all the fall leaves and colors. We were going for a family walk last weekend and took some pictures.

Ok, so I mentioned last month that I thought these pictures were going to get harder and harder to take, boy was I right! Cole was such a little goober while trying to get a picture. I still do not think I got one I love, but he was sure making me laugh. He was grabbing the bear, messing with the sticker on his onesie, trying to stand up, just everywhere :)

why are you always in the picture too?

Mom, can I stand like this?

Ok, so what are we doing exactly?

Alright, I will do it!

Is this the smile you want mom?
