9 Month Check Up

Cole had his 9 month check up today. Dr. Thomas said that everything looks wonderful! She is so funny...she even told me that Cole has a beautiful and straight back! As soon as she walked in to the room he started smiling and charming her once again. She loved his teeth and watched him crawl some and listened to him talk. Poor Dr. Thomas ... I always have a bunch of questions but she made sure to answer all of them. We even got to see nurse Susan, the lactation consultant, who praised me for still nursing Cole and loved seeing how much he had grown. Speaking of...Cole weighs 20 lbs 6 oz and is 29.25 inches long!

Some things that he loves are....feeding himself, reading books, playing with Mason, going outside. He loves "the itsy bitsy spider" and "this little piggy." He likes when we build a tower with blocks and he gets to knock it down. He loves crawling over obstacles. He likes looking for toys after we have hidden them. Cole loves to see himself in the mirror. He loves taking a bath. He is starting to pull up on things. He has 8 teeth. A neat thing he started doing a couple of days ago is that when we read a "touch and feel" book he can figure out where to feel without us showing him. Cole is pulling up on the furniture and can roll a ball back and forth with us. Cole laughs at anything and everything and because of that he never meets a stranger. Everyday brings something new and different. Our little boy is so much fun to play with and cuddle with...he is so full of love and has made our life absolutely wonderful!
