Why is this dangerous, you ask? Because when he's like this, I want 10 more just like him!
Dangerous.

One big epic post
Wow, a ton of stuff has happened in the past week since I've been off for Spring Break.
I uploaded pics as a slideshow cause there were so many.
Saturday 3/13
We went to Gammy's to have lunch with the family. It was a little cool outside, but we still had all the boys outside swinging. Cole was still not impressed with this swinginig thing. He isn't impressed with much, besides food. We had a good time and ate way too much. Cole tried some new foods. He was pretty impressed with the peach cobbler. And the root beer float. :) OH! And he started waving. That was the previous video I posted. Now he really won't do it. He just kind of waves his whole arm and slaps whatever's in front of him. He likes slapping things. He also started nodding.
Sunday, I took pics of Cole outside in the backyard. He discovered dirt. I'm sure the beginning of a life long obsession. It's so funny, I took him out there expecting him to just sit on the blanket and look around, never suspecting that he would notice the grass. Next thing I know he's pulling up grass and dirt and trying to eat it. It took me forever to get all the dirt from under his fingernails.
I think it was also on this day we had a poo debacle. He had small balls of poop that went everywhere went I changed him. I thought I had them all but as I was putting his new diaper on I saw he was holding something. I pryed his little had open and he had been squishing a little ball of poop. Luckily, it was hard enough it didn't make a mess. But, gross, nonetheless.
Monday, Cole went to day care and I cleaned house. Fun times.
Tuesday, Cole went to day care and I went to Pittsburg to get my hair cut and colored. I was in desperate need of both. Hurray for a little pampering for mom.
Wednesday, Cole stayed home with me all day. We celebrated St. Patty's Day and his eight month birthday. I can't believe he's getting so old! :)
Thursday, Justin took off and we went on a family trip to the Little Rock Zoo. Cole could have cared less. In fact, he was more interested in looking at the kids running around than the animals. Although, I can't say that I blame him. The Little Rock Zoo was not so much exciting. His Gammy bought him (by proxy) a stuffed baby orangutan from the gift shop. He was SUPER PUMPED about that monkey. Seriously, I have never seen a child chew on anything with more zeal. I did my best not to think about what chemicals and nastiness were all over that monkey. It was hard, trust me.
Friday, we took a long meandering drive to Gammy's work and dropped Cole off for the night. We went to Chili's to watch the Aggies play Utah St., but they weren't showing the game so we just ate and drank and were merry.
Saturday, we slept ever-so-slightly in (9 am). We just drove around town a little...messed around town. Then we drove back to Gammy's to pick up Cole. He had a good time with them. We stopped by to see PaPaw George and came home. It was at his PaPaw George's that Cole decided to start "sniper-crawling." He's a MOBILE baby now. WATCH OUT!
Sunday, we officially decided to get rid of Sadie. She puked all over the place and (I thought) that was the final straw. So I posted her on craigslist. Then, long story short, she growled at Cole and put the final nail in her coffin. I have 3 potential homes lined up for her.
Whew. So there's our week in review. All week long his sleep schedule has been screwed up. I blame the time change and the fact that he's trying to cut a tooth we believe. Poor baby. And poor Mama and Daddy. Someone needs to tell my child that 4 am is not a proper wake up time. Neither is 2 am. Or 5.

pictures! :)
Am I destining (is that a word?) my son to be a coach?
He'd be a cute one!!
Okay, so I'm really bad about folding laundry and leaving it in hampers...
and leaving Cole's dirty clothes piled up in the floor. Don't judge me.
Anyway, Cole decided to
Saturday was another beautiful day. We ventured out to the park. Cole was once again not impressed.
But, HALLELUJAH! We actually got him to wear shoes!!
I know one day he will love the park. For now, he just likes to watch other kids playing.
He's a people watcher like his parents.
I'm so excited!! Next week is Spring Break. Oh, the joys of working for a university. So I will be off all next week. I plan on taking Monday all for myself. I will drop Cole off at day care, probably clean the house some, maybe even take in a movie by myself. I used to think it would be super uncomfortable to do that, but it's really not all that bad.
Then Tuesday, I'm going to get my hair cut and colored. I haven't had a hair cut since September, and I haven't colored my hair in several years. I really wanted to see what my natural color was and not to have to worry about keeping up with coloring anymore. But, here lately I have been feeling pretty hum drum and want to feel pretty again. Hopefully I won't regret it! Also, I found a gray hair a few months ago that I'm still recovering from.
Then, Justin is taking off Thursday and Friday and we're going to take a little trip. We're at least going to the zoo in Little Rock. Not sure what else we're going to do. I'm such a kid...I love the zoo.
Hopefully Cole will be a little more impressed with the zoo than he is the park, but I'm not holding my breath.

our weekend...
He's such a monkey boy. He loves to play with things with his feet.
That toy in front of him has a red bird on top of it. He likes to tip the whole thing over and chew on that bird.
Visiting Daddy at work on Saturday. The sun was so bright he wouldn't look at me.
First time swinging...he was not impressed.
I got one smile out of him...
