Pajama Party!

I like dressing my boys alike. It's super cute when they coordinate. Parker loves it when they match, especially their pajamas.

Sometimes I even join in on the fun :-)


Looking forward to some days in our pjs this Spring Break!

3 Months!

It's hard to believe Cole is already 3 months old! (Actually as I write this, he's 4 months old. Hopefully that post is coming soon!) This month, as always, just flew by! He's a fast growing boy. He's up to 16 pounds 3 ounces and 26 inches long. This month he was promoted to size 3-6 month clothes and size 3 diapers. Cole continues to be the best baby ever...in my unbiased opinion ;) He's happy about 95% of the time. His fussiness is almost always relieved by eating, walking around or getting out of his car seat. His hair, while thinning, is reddish brown. He's worn off the sides and back, but still has lots on the top. His complexion remains fair and rosy toned. His eyes are still big, blue and gorgeous. I really think they might stay that way. Andy has dark brown eyes, I have hazel green, and Parker has such dark brown eyes, I never imagined we'd have a blue eyed baby.
Cole has found his voice and has lots to say. He keeps us entertained with coos, ah-goos, gurgles, grunts, laughs, chuckles, growls and howls. He loves, loves, loves, his playmat and will lay there and play happily for up to an hour. He knows to kick the side to turn the music back on and can easily reach/grab the toys. He really likes the side to side motion on the swing (Thanks Chase & Jennifer!!!) Cole enjoys his bouncy seats and has recently started sitting in his bumpo. His newest trick is inch worming across the floor on his back. One night he made it all the way across our family room. I think his favorite source of entertainment might be Parker. His eyes follow him everywhere and he ALWAYS has a smile for his big brother!

The biggest change this month (for Mommy anyway...) was moving Cole from our room to his nursery. I realized he was almost 2 pounds over the weight limit of his bassinet and after lots of "encouragement" from Andy, I gave in. Parker was in our room for 4 months, so this was a big step. For Cole, the transition was seamless. And thanks to a video monitor, I'm doing well with it, too. He sleeps in his crib from 11:00 to between 6:00 and 7:00.

And lastly, just look at him! Not sure he can get much cuter...again, my unbiased opinion! He has been such a joyful blessing! As Parker would say "We love him to the moon and back!!"
