A visit from Aunt Beth and Grandmother

Cole and Grandmother

That would be Cole's Great Grandmother and Great Aunt Beth. This is Casey's mom, Karen, sister and mother. They came to see Cole this past weekend from Georgia. It had been way to long since we had seen them. It was so nice to just hang out and visit all weekend. We met them Friday night for dinner at Longhorn and then on Saturday morning we met over at Lincoln and Pam's to hang out for the day. Of course the guys had to watch a little football in there as well. Arkansas had a big game vs. Texas A&M, which they pulled through to win, coming back from being down by 18 points at half time. Needless to say it got a little loud in the TV room at times :)

Grandmother and Beth thought Cole was just the best little thing, which we agreed. We also talked about how much his Grams would of loved him. It was a little bitter sweet. Aunt Beth and Karen resembled each other a lot, but more than resembling each other they sound so much a like. I feel like if I close my eyes I would think she was talking to me. It is hard to believe that this month it will be 6 years that we lost her. It just so happens that Cole will turn 6 months on the 6 year anniversary of her death, October 13th. We miss her dearly, but know that she is watching over us and so happy that Cole is in our lives.

5 months and Meeting Great Grandmother

Yep, Cole is 5 months old. Tuesday was the big day. Being back at work it just makes everything seem so much faster. He is such a mess, but such a sweetie. He is making SO much noise these days. He definitely wants to be heard. I am not sure where he gets all his facial expressions and need to be loud?!?! hahahaha. I feel like I say this every time, but Cole is just SO much fun. Everyday seems to be something new. Like his hands... If you would have asked me when he noticed his hand I would say...not sure? he has been sucking on them since the day he was born, but this last week I think he has truly discovered them. It is so funny. You will just see him with his hand in front of his face, moving it around, like "where did you come from?", "what can I do with you?" His little face and the looks he makes are priceless. We really do just try and enjoy everyday with him. He is such a blessing. Now that he rolls and flips, he seems to be a tummy sleeper. Pretty much every morning I go to get him he is on his tummy. He usually flips immediately to his side the minute I put him in bed. Here are his 5 months pictures from the crib with his sticker...and pictures from this past weekend when we went to Perry Co. Linden, TN for Cole to meet his great-grandmother, who is 91 years old. We had a good afternoon. Here are a few pictures from that day...

I am a big boy!

Oh guys....you are so funny!
