A Much Needed Update

Week 10

Week 10 started out with Cole receiving his first round of vaccines. He did so great. Yes, he did get mad with the first stick but he did not have any fever and quickly was back to his content little self. Below is his daddy giving him some encouragement before the nurse came in.



Such a sweet boy!



Tulsa Trip

For the weekend, my dad flew us to Tulsa to surprise my mom for her birthday! Way to go dad! It was a great surprise to mom and she had no idea we were coming. Her friends and I were able to keep a secret. She loved it! My dad picked us put from the airport and walked in the house holding Cole saying "Beverly, I have your birthday present." Priceless.

This is Cole on his very first flight. He did great and he usually does with new things. He was awake for the most part going but slept the entire way home until the pilot came over the loud speaker. It startled him a bit but it just made him jump, not cry. No tears were shed on the flights, so that was wonderful. He had a bottle or pacifier the whole time to help with his ears popping so I will assume it helped. Mine were popping so I would think his were but he did not complain.





Happy Birthday, Bebe! (Oct. 5th)
This is right after we walked in...oh the joy on her face!

Cole and Daddy right before Cole's first movie.
We saw "The Express" on sneakpeek. It was really good and I would recommend it. Cole did great again. Brent and I are really blessed to have such a wonderful and content baby.

Week 11

My parents came to Houston this week. My dad had some business meetings and they had not seen my brother's family in a few months.

Here is a picture of Conner and Nathan at dinner Saturday night. They are 19 months now. Cole was taking a nap at their house earlier that afternoon and they were so cute how they wanted to see him and make sure he was okay. Adorable.

Week 12








Sorry, these aren't the most exciting photos, but I think he makes the most funny faces.
That could just be the mom in me through, thinking my son is the cutest thing ever. haha.

Being a wife and mom brings me great joy!

Cole is not doing too many new things, but I am noticing him responding more to me talking and singing to him and his toys. He just stares at things so intently, just studying them. I always am wondering what he is thinking about and look forward to the day of hearing his thoughts and ideas, but DEFINITELY can wait. I do not want him growing up too fast and missing the small moments. It already seems like it is going too fast when I put him in "big boy" clothes.

Well, sorry it has taken me so long to get an update up here. We no longer had internet access at our house, so I have to come to Panera Bread. I love it here but I have to plan to come and some days it just doesn't work out. This is the first time I have left my house since Monday. I will get back with you soon and for those of you wanting pictures on Shutterfly I will update that soon too, but it is prime lunchtime here and I have now been here for 3.5 hours! I am surprised they haven't kicked me to the curb yet.

Until next time...

That's so funny, Milagro and I went there for lunch yesterday. Cole is definately growing TOO fast, time is flying by. I am glad he did great on the plane. I miss seeing the little guy, and you too we need to get together soon.

Cole is quite a little traveler. I love the one of him snuggled up in his carseat on the plane.

He is growing so fast. I can tell, I am going to have to get to that area of town a lot more often.

Yay for fun pictures! Surprising your mom was such a great idea that your dad had. I like the one of him and brent too. It looks like they are having a good conversation.

looks like you have been all over the place and busy. I love the fashion show with the hats... i am soo going to do that to my child one day.

Aunt Mona said...

In the one with Brent and Cole at the Dr, it looks like Brent is saying, "Cole this is going to hurt and I am so sorry we have to do this."

I like this picture as well.

Oh my gosh, Mimi misses Cole so much. You better get ready because Mimi and Papa can't stay away too long. We'll be showing up in Houston real soon. It's been 3 weeks since we've seen him and he's growing so much. Hope to see ya'll soon. Tell Cole Mimi and Papa love him and can't wait to see him.
