4 months old & other stuff...

Cole was 4 months old yesterday. So hard to believe. He is so much fun, and I am loving having the opportunity to stay home with him. Thanks Murray! Yesterday at his doctor's appointment he weighed 13lbs 1oz and was 24in long. Everyday he is learning something new, and I know that he will only continue to do this more and more.

He still smiles all the time although it is getting harder and harder to catch his precious smile in a picture without his hands in his mouth covering it up!
He has definitely found his hands and is constantly sucking on fingers or his thumb.
He loves to lay on his changing table and talk to us. He has started reaching up and grabbing my hair when I lean over him. It's like he is holding me there to make sure I pay really close attention to what he is saying.
He is sleeping better... lays down in his bed and goes to sleep on his own for naps! Getting at least one longer stretch at night that we are hoping will turn into 2 pretty soon!
He is starting to like being played with a little rougher... he loves to me lifted up in the air or to be "gotten."
He wants to face out to see everything all the time, and he has really started wanting to stand up instead of sitting in your lap.
He loves to look at books and tries to grab them himself.
He is getting better at being able to grab toys and pull them to his mouth.
He has put a couple of rolls together a few times... not so great at this yet though.
He has started sitting in his Bumbo seat and looks so big in it!


Cole is starting to make all kinds of new sounds now. His newest sound is like a motor. He does it best when he is mad which makes it hard not to laugh at him, but it is just so cute. Here he is doing it while happy. Haha.


That's about it for now... I can't wait to see all he does this month!

Here are some pictures that I have been meaning to post... things have been a little busy. Like always. =)

Such a happy boy, and he loves his great grandparents! I think that they think he is pretty great too!

Murray got his first deer with his bow!

Easton always willing to help with Baby Cole.

Sword fighting gets dangerous!

Don't you just love fall? The tree in our backyard is gorgeous. The picture doesn't do it justice!

Murray and I are heading to Orlando, FL this weekend for an early anniversary trip. Cole is going to be staying with Nonny & Poppy (my parents). I know he will be just fine, but I have to admit my nerves are growing more and more everyday. I am super excited to have some me and Murray time, but 3 days away from my sweet baby is a little scary! I have tons of milk stored up, and I know he will be nothing but absolutely spoiled so I'm gonna try to relax and have fun. I'm sure Murray will help a lot with that. =) Anyway, next post will be about our trip!
