A Visit From Grammy and Pops and Much, Much More

This has been an exciting week for us! I finally have new pictures to share. I have realized that finding time to blog is not as easy as it once was. Nicholas is much more demanding of my time these days. He loves to have lots of attention and interaction...but who could blame him! To start off our week Rhonald was able to feed Cole a bottle, something he had never done before. It was so cute to watch Cole gobble down his milk and to watch Rhonald have so much fun feeding him! It also gave me a nice break but I do wonder if Cole was wondering how he was getting his milk from someone other than his mommy.

Cole's Grammy and Pops came to visit him all the way from Hendersonville, TN. Although they had seen Cole in pictures they could not believe how much he had changed since they last saw him! They had a great time being wtih him! Each morning my dad would lay Cole on the floor for his daily "workout" and Grammy enjoyed rocking him and holding him. The most fun part for Rhonald and I was that we were able to go out to dinner for Valentine's Day. We had not been out like that since we had Nicholas so that was a big treat! Of course we talked about him a lot but we also had fun just being together. I think that evening was the best for Grammy and Pops too.
On Valentine's Day we had a special visit from the Daniels - friends that moved away several months ago. It was awesome to see them and catch up with them. This was the first time they saw Cole and as you can tell he was a huge hit with their son, Dunn. Our favorite comment was when Dunn was standing by Cole's swing and said, "C'mon baby Cole, come and play in this!" We felt so blessed that they were able to come. We have really missed them!
The last exciting thing that happened was that Nicholas discovered his mobile last night. While I was cleaning up the living room last night Rhonald called me in to the nursery to see that Cole was staring up at his mobile. He amazes us each day with the new things he is doing and learning! He has also started enjoying looking at the lights around the house. It is true what they say...they grow up so fast!
