4 Months Old and Loving Life
This post is a few days early since Cole will not officially be 4 months old until May 11 but I was in a "blogging mood" and had some time so I thought I would write this today. The past 4 months have been so busy and so much fun all at the same time. We have functioned on less sleep than I ever thought possible and have still smiled each and every day when we look at our sweet baby boy. Cole is growing like crazy. We estimate that he weighs close to 15 lbs now. He can hold his toys and reach out for them when he wants them. As soon as he gets ahold of them (of anything really) he puts it right in his mouth. He smiles so much - even at things that can't smile back. He really likes to smile at Mason. He laughs a bunch and can push up with his arms while he is on his tummy so that his whole chest is up in the air. He likes to watch TV - we think he likes the colors, not the shows (at least we hope). He loves to be outside and see new things. He has a really strong grip. He can sit up with minimal assistance and enjoys doing so in order to see more of the world around him. He is still waking up about every 3-4 hours at night to eat and then goes right back to sleep. He has learned how to squeal with delight and kick his legs in the tub to make the water splash around. Cole loves to be tossed up in the air and also loves to stand up and show off his leg muscles. He talks a lot - I keep telling Rhonald he is in for it since it seems both Cole and I talk a ton! He is looking more and more like a little boy which is so neat but so sad all at the same time. It is so much fun to watch him learn and grow. We can see his personality developing each and every day which is amazing!!! He is such a happy and good baby. I feel so blessed to be home with him so that I do not have to miss a thing!

I love reading these updates each month. It gives me a heads up on all the great things I have to look forward to in the next month. Cole sounds like such a sweet baby.
And congrats to Rhonald on his new job! We're so glad that you get to stay in the area. :)
i can't believe he has gotten so big! he really does look like a "big" boy!
What a sweet, sweet boy!
I'm so glad you get to stay at home with him Jenny. It just keeps getting more and more fun and I'm so excited that you'll get to experience everything with him on a daily basis. It's the best job in the world!
