On December 27th, our little turned six months old. This is big. This means Cole is half way to celebrating the big O-N-E year old birthday! Wow-wee.
We took Cole to his well-child visit on Friday. Yeah... check out these stats:
- Weight: 23 lb. 10 oz. (100%)
- Height: 28.5 in. (100%)
- Head Circumference: 45.8 cm (99%)
Wow-wee is pretty much right, friends. Here are a few more notable things about our little:
- Cole is an assisted-sitter! If you sit him open cross-legged style, he can sit on his own for a good two minutes. He reached this milestone about a week or so before he turned six months.
- He graduated out of his infant car seat into a convertible backwards-facing car seat. He thinks he is Joe Cool.
- The boy loves to suck/chew on his lower lip or fingers. Pacifiers need not apply.
- If you think there is anything better to Cole than his momma, you would be wrong... the boy is definitely a momma's boy.
- Cole started physically interacting with Kingston this month, rolling and "wrestling" in our living room with his brother (gently and very carefully, of course).
- Thank heaven for a baby dedicated to his schedule - the boy has two naps daily (10:00AM and 2:00PM) and is in bed between 7:30 and 8:00PM every evening. What a beautiful thing.
- Cole enjoys his solid food; we are already working through our fourth box of single-grain oatmeal and he has added peaches and sweet potatoes to his favorites.
- Our little likes to make sure he gets his workout in...his favorite toy is his jumper. The boy works it daily.
- Another nickname for Cole? "Juicy Joe," in reference to the pools of drool we see each day and some spit-up. Hooray.
- Christmas tunes may be here to stay in our household, regardless of season - Cole loves listening to Christmas carols... and maybe loves them that much more when I jump in and sing a line or two...
We are truly blessed and spoiled to have another sweet baby boy in our family.
