Hey, Who Is That???

The other day I was walking by a mirror in our hallway and noticed Cole seeing himself. He simply stared and stared at the little face he saw in there and then he started smiling at it, as if to say "hi there!" We were given a little mirror as a baby shower gift and had not used it yet simply because he was not really paying attention to very many things. I pulled it out yesterday and laid him in front of it and he was thrilled!!! He just kept looking at himself and then up at me and then back at himself! It was so cute to watch! We played with it again today but this time I sat him up and he could see himself and me. He seemed to really like that and smiled quite a bit when I would make faces and funny sounds. What a ham!!!!

Another thing we are currently working on is getting Cole to sleep in his crib and do so without putting up a fight! We are making a lot of progress in this area and I am so proud of him - and of Rhonald and I for not giving up. He is napping in his crib every nap and only fussing for his 3:00 nap. For some reason that is a hard one for him. For the past 3 nights he has only woken up one time to nurse and then goes right back to sleep. That in itself is a huge gift to me - I have been praying about that for a few weeks now. He is really learning that being in that big crib is ok and that, for whatever reason, makes us very happy!
