Christmas 2009
I have tried to upload pictures twice now and both times it didn't work. So I am going to post a slideshow. I wanted to write what was going on in each picture. But, I'm sure you can figure it out. We had a great Christmas. Besides the fact that Justin has a touch of pneumonia and has been coughing his face off for the past week. Cole has a cough (still) too. He has had a snotty nose, too.
So let's see...what all did we do?
On Christmas Eve, we went to Justin's mom's with Wendy and her boys. Everyone opened presents from Gammy and Nump Nump. She got him both of the hats he's wearing in the pictures (a toboggan-ish hat and a camo cap). He looks so stinkin' cute. She also got him the Carhartt overalls. They are 12m, and they fit him perfectly! There's also a few pictures of him standing up. Of course we're holding his hands, but he's standing! That is a new development for him.
Then we went to Grandma and Papa's (my dad's parents). That was the first time they had seen Cole. Of course they thought he was adorable...and BIG. :) Seems to be the consensus. After eating enchiladas there (Christmas Eve tradition) we went to my mom's. I didn't take a single picture at my mom's. I am ashamed of myself, but I honestly didn't even think about it. I was so tired already. It had rained and the roads were horrible going to my mom's house, but we all made it in and out okay.
By the time we got home it was about 10 pm, and we still had to get ready for Santa. Cole was long past asleep, so I did it all by myself. I didn't want Santa to have to go without his cookies and milk. Justin kept telling me, "you know Cole has no idea what's going on, right?" I was like, "I don't care...Santa is coming tonight and he needs cookies." So cookies he got.
Santa was sleepy!
OH! When we got home that night, we had SNOW on our cars. It wasn't a lot by any means, but Cole's first Christmas was a little bit WHITE!
When Cole woke up surprisingly we got to go through stockings before he freaked out because he was hungry. So after he ate, he looked at what Santa brought him and opened his presents from us. I love the picture of him looking at the empty plate of cookies. He's kind of standing on the table looking down like, "Where the heck are my cookies??"
Also, I was wondering if he would be interested in opening presents at all since he's so young. He really was! He ripped the paper, but of course, immediately put it in his mouth.
After we had our little Christmas, we headed to Jim's for breakfast. Another tradition...biscuits and gravy!! YUM-O. I think it's my favorite thing about Christmas! :)
Then we headed to Kim's again for the whole family shindig. We stayed there pretty much the rest of the day. Then we stopped by Mark's on the way home. By that time, we were all exhausted. We were supposed to get up on the 26th and go to Justin's Pawpaw Baker's, but Christmas night Justin pretty much didn't sleep at all, so we skipped that get together. He tried to go to a clinic, but they were closed.
He finally got to go to the doctor on Monday, which is when he found out he had a touch of pneumonia. I keep waiting for the medicine to kick in, but he's still coughing up a storm.
I have been off since Christmas Eve, but have to work Wednesday and then am off until the 4th. Justin went ahead and took off the rest of the week because he's is trying to get his truck fixed. What else...oh yeah...my Nanny went to the hospital on Christmas Eve, but she's home now and doing good. Since Justin and Cole were both snotty and coughy we didn't go visit her, but I think we're going to go see her tomorrow.
Whew! I think that catches me up to now. Pictures are posted on the previous post...in case you missed them. The title of that blog is 2009-10-24 because that's the album title on Shutterfly and I can't change it.
I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas and has a safe and happy New Year!!
Holy Moly it's almost 2010. Absolutely insane.
By the way, I know no one will probably read all of this, but it's mostly for me anyway...and it's flipping LONG!

pics & videos
I don't have anything of note to say. I just wanted to share some pics and videos.
MMM...green beans!!
So serious!
That's better!!
Blowing raspberries.
Our Christmas tree. I have to get pics of the family with the tree, but I'm not sure how I'm gonna do that...
Daddy making Cole laugh.
He's getting very good at rolling over. In fact, he's even quicker than that now. After he rolls there's pretty much nothing exciting (on the video).
Actually, most of this is probably not exciting to anyone but me. Whatever. He's a prodigy child. :)
This is Cole trying to learn to crawl. He puts his butt up in the air, but his face is down in the blanket. He's trying, though! This video doesn't show it that well I just realized. Oh well.
Anyway, I just can't believe how much my little boy is growing up. He'll be 5 months old on Thursday. He's really started getting handsy. He grabbed my glasses off my face the other day. Then at day care yesterday he pulled the whole front of my shirt down. Gave his teacher a little show. haha He is just grabbing everything, though. And most of it goes directly in his mouth. He is still sporting a snotty nose and yucky cough. I guess that's just part and parcel to being in a day care. I wish he didn't have to do it.
Anyway, I hope everyone is in the Christmas Spirit. Only 10 m0re days!

the past couple of weeks
I have been a delinquent blogger and, well, mother and wife for the past few days...weeks. Whatever. Well, I've had good reason. Cole started out being sick with a cough and snot issues. Then Friday, I had to go pick him up from day care because he had a stomach bug. So my weekend was spent cleaning up baby puke. Washing clothes/blankets/myself. Etc. Etc. Then, after he hadn't been sick in almost two days (Sunday night), he threw up again...Right about the time I started throwing up.
GREAT.
I was sick all night long. Around 2 am, I noticed I had a partner. That's right. Justin got sick, too. We were two sick little puppies. I don't think Cole had it as bad as we did. He sure didn't act like he felt as bad as we did. Maybe babies are just more resilient. Maybe I'm just getting old. But, that was a harsh way to lose 5 pounds...let me tell ya.
So, here I am. Four days later...back in action. WHOO HOO.
I haven't taken a single picture of my child since Thanksgiving. I should be tarred and feathered. Especially since he's so g-darn cute. I am depriving the world of the cuteness of my child.
I'll try to get some posted soon. He's getting very handsy these days. He grabbed the glasses off my face the other day. I've found him eating his nose sucker, a dirty diaper (just pee, and it was wrapped up), and some of his rash ointment, which he had almost successfully gotten the cap off of. It's time to baby proof, AND pay more attention to what he can reach. He's getting to be a little too mobile.
Also, he's trying to figure out how to crawl. My little boy is growing up on me!! I can't believe it. He'll be 5 months old next week. He's such a little love. He's been eating (when he wasn't sick) squash, carrots, sweet potatoes, and prunes mixed with cereal. MMM Yum-o. He loves it!
Anywho, I guess that's it for now. I'll try to get some pictures posted soon!!

Thanksgiving
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. I know we did!!
This is Cole & his little cousin Darcey. He could gobble her up in one bite. She weighs about 6 lbs now & she is a month old.
As of Thanksgiving Day Cole learned how to blow raspberries. He loves to do it and thinks it's hilarious. It actually is pretty funny. He's so stinkin' cute. Those are the times when I want 5 more just like him.
Our Thanksgiving was followed by 3 days of our son not wanting to take naps. Bless his heart, I guess he just likes spending time with his mommy & daddy so much that sleep just doesn't come. Lord knows it needs to, but he's just way too cool for naps when he's with us. When he's at daycare, he takes naps. Sometimes 3 a day. But, at home...no dice.
In fact, by Saturday evening, he was so sleepy that he went to sleep about 5:30 pm and slept until 3:41 am Sunday morning. And then, you guessed it, didn't want to go back to sleep. Luckily, he went back to sleep around 5:30 and woke back up about 7:00. Justin & I were both up with him. Justin slept on the floor with him and I slept on the couch (from 5:30-7:00). We were just so glad he went back to sleep we didn't want to move.
Those are the times when I remind myself that Cole is going to be an only child.
