VIDEO TIME!!!

These are just a couple of fun videos Daddy took of me recently. The first is of me just waking up from a nap, after which I immediately roll over onto my belly to help get my gas out. The second video is of me playing in my jumper. I love this thing. I am trying to lose weight so that I will never out-grow it.

Eat my Feet

Mommy and Daddy are always cleaning toe-jam out from between my toes, and it can get annoying at times. So my buddy, Truett, showed me a cool trick on how to keep the toe-jam build-up to a minimum.

I'm a Big Boy, Foolz

I am growing up fast. I can now sit in my saucer and bouncey seat because my feet can finally touch the ground. I love playing in both of them, but I'd have to say that I am partial to the bouncey seat. Sometimes daddy jumps along with me and he looks like an idiot.

Here I am playing in my saucer (thanks Joe & Candy!).

Here I am playing the bouncey seat (thanks Scott & Sunny!).

Here is a video of me falling asleep in the bouncey seat. I guess I wore myself out from all that jumping. Daddy kept waking me up, which mommy claims is child abuse. But I thought it was pretty stinkin' hilarious.

My First Halloween

I'm not really sure what Halloween is, but I had my first one a couple weeks ago. Mommy and daddy dressed me up in these weird outfits. Some other kids in weird outfits came to our door, and Papa and Gramee gave them candy. Here's a quick video of Mommy taking me trick-or-treating; whatever that is. To see some pictures of my first Halloween, visit Mommy and Daddy's blog.

Brain Damage

I was in a cranky mood the other night. Daddy will try just about anything to cheer me up...including throwing balls at my head. As you can see, I thought this was hilarious.

L.A. or Bust

Sorry to all my faithful readers for not blogging recently. I've been pooped after getting back from a long weekend in California for Aunt Rachel and Uncle Andy's wedding. We had a blast. I got to sleep in a room with mommy and daddy, which was convenient. If I wanted anything in the middle of the night, all I had to do was scream and they were right there.
Mommy took really great care of me while daddy was busy with wedding stuff.
I got to hang out a lot with Uncle Steve. Here we are at the pool. I drooled all over him and he didn't ever care. Just two pimps in a pod.
Aunt Lindsay is very sweet to me. I was really tired at the pool, so she let me take a nap on her.
Aunt Rachel looked beautiful all weekend long. I can see why Uncle Andy wanted to marry her.
Good Old Uncle Asdo was always there to make me laugh throughout the weekend. But I got everyone laughing when I spit up all over his suit. He'll learn not to airplane me right after I've had dinner.
One more of Aunt Lindsay and I at the reception. We partied hard, but then I had to go to bed before things got too crazy.
Finally, here is a video of mommy and daddy putting my feet into the Pacific Ocean, just like they did in the Gulf of Mexico three months ago. The Pacific Ocean was a lot colder!!!

Footloose

Now that I have figured out how to make noises with my mouth, I barely ever stop. I even make noises when I'm eating and sleeping, or so I'm told.

When daddy took me to the doctor's office last week, I overheard her say that I will soon start to play with my feet and use them more. So, right on cue, I started playing with my feet the other day. And once again, there was daddy with his video camera.

Throwback Outfits

Gramee (that is what I call daddy's mommy) saved a few of daddy's outfits from when he was my age so that I could wear them someday. Well, that day has come. Mommy and Daddy put me in these two outfits the other day. I must say that I am looking pretty darn handsome. Watch out ladies....

Daddy Shenanigans

Daddy loves to try to make me laugh. He'll say really weird things and throw me up in the air. I usually just laugh for a few seconds in hopes that he will eventually stop with the shenanigans. Here is a video of what I'm talking about. The picture quality is lacking, but at least you can hear me :) P.S. - GOOOOO GATORS & GOOOOO RED RAIDERS!!!!

Best Buddies Video

Dad just showed me how to upload some action-packed video. Here is Truett and I hanging out.

Cole's First Post

Now that I am 3 1/2 months old, Mom and Dad have given me the priviledge of posting to my own blog. However, I have been told that this priviledge can and will be taken away if I post anything obscene or foul.
Mom and Dad took me to the mountains this weekend to hang out with my homie, Truett. I did pretty good on the car ride there and back, and I tried to comfort Mom as she got a little car sick. Truett and I spend most of the weekend sleeping, eating, and playing on the ground.
Truett can hold his head up pretty good, so he also gets to play in his saucer. Dad says that I get to play in my saucer as soon as I can hold my head up. Guess I need to get some more tummy time into my daily routine.
Like I said, I did a lot of sleeping.
Even on top of the mountain, I found some time to catch a few Zzzz's.
Daddy held me in my Baby Bjorn so I didn't fall off the chair lift.
Here is Truett and I playing nicely.
He was trying to teach me how to roll over since I'm still not very good at it.

I am all about hands-on learning, but I told Truett that this might be a little too hands on for me.

He didn't appreciate my comment, and proceeded to poke me in the eye. After laughing about something, Mommy came to my rescue.

Even though Truett tried to gouge my eye out, we are still good buddies and I can't wait to get to hang out with him again!

More Playpen Playtime

Cole loves doing his "play by yourself" time in his playpen. He loves to smack around the bird and frog that typically hang from the mobile. Here is a little example:

On another note, Cole has been "sleeping through the night" for about a week and a half now. That means that he sleeps from like 10:30/11:00 to 7:00 AM or so. He has had one or two lapses, but for the most part we are all enjoying a good night's sleep :)

The Bad Dream

Cole had a bad dream :(

Random Cole Pics

Cole sitting in his Bumbo and playing with his Gator basketball.
He's probably still a little small to sit in his Bumbo, so we only put him in it for a couple of minutes.
Cole and Mommy being goofy early in the morning.
Cole in one of his famous sleeping poses.
More tummy time for Cole.
Cole watching his favorite show, "The Office".

Moosey and Hand-Sucking

Cole's "moosey" seems to be one of his favorite toys (see video). Another of Cole's favorites: eating his hands. We really don't want Cole to develop a habit of thumb (or hand) sucking, so now whenever he puts his hand in his mouth, we gently remove it and sternly tell him "no". To that, Cole gives a big smile and within a minute his hand it hovering around his mouth again.

Do you have a question, Cole?

I love waking Cole up from his naps. We swaddle him pretty good as it usually helps him sleep better. So when we wake him up and unswaddle him, his arms almost always shoot straight up for a good stretch. In this video he only does one of two arms, but it's still pretty funny.

Grab & Roll(or not) Video

When Cole plays on his playmat, he has been working a lot on grabbing the different animals and rings that hang down from the top. He also has been trying for the past week to roll over onto his belly, but he can't seem to do it yet and gets easily frustrated by his failure.

Uncle Asdo & Cole!!!

Asdo was in Boulder a few days after we moved in, so we drove up to see him for an evening of good times. He was really excited to see Emily and I, but even more excited about meeting Cole.

Video and Pics taken August 20.


Gramee & Cole

My mom made the 2,000-mile journey with me from Clearwater to Littleton. Her reward for all her hard work? Half a day with Cole!
Video taken August 17th.
