Cole-Palooza

This post is all Cole pictures...

you requested more pics so here

you go! We never get tired of looking

at him! I didn't want to overload

everyone with pictures--but I

want to accomodate my

blog readers' requests :)

{A favorite sleeping position. I try to bundle

him up to keep his arms down so he doesn't

wake himself up when his hands flail around,

but despite my best efforts, this is usually

how I find him}

{It's kind of hard to tell in this picture, but

he's holding his head up himself. He's got

a strong neck! He can't hold it for too long,

but he certainly tries to! When I'm burping

him over my shoulder, he always lifts his

head up and tries to look around}

{our little '80s man! I love that he was born

with a rat's tail! I don't think I've ever seen

that on a newborn before! We did trim it

the other day to put his first haircut in his

baby book. I almost cried after, but it was

getting really long and probably needed to be done :) }

{Our friends made this awesome headband for Cole.

It says, "I am a descendent of Pocahontas"

with a little feather in the back.

[for those of you that don't know,

Pocahontas is my 14th great-grandma.

Ya, pretty cool, I know! & I'm really not kidding.

I've got the geneology sheet to prove it!]

Thanks Sandi & Mike!}

{I can't resist trying all the cute clothes on him!}

{My dad came up for a few days last week to meet Cole.

It was so fun to see Grandpa & the little guy together!}

{I think he looks like such a little man

in this picture! Yes, the shoes look really

big on him, but his feet fill them up!
They probably won't fit much longer.

He's wearing 3-6 mos. size socks!}

{My mom was up here for 2 weeks, and she

headed back to Utah on Sunday with my dad.

It was so fun to have them both up here & I

don't know what we would have done without

my mom's help! It was great to have her help

us transition into this fun, but overwhelming,

parenthood stuff. Thanks SO MUCH, Mom!}

{This is Sally, the awesome nurse that delivered

Cole since the doctor didn't make it in time for

his speedy arrival. She was great & we

appreciate her help so much!}
