So, Cole has been doing a few new things since we got home from our trip! It is always exciting to watch him learn something!!!1. He likes to hand us things....anything and everything. Last night he kept handing me food during dinner!
2. He can hold his own sippy cup and drink out of it...if we are holding him and can lean him back a little bit.
3. He can drink out of a straw! Funny story about that...we were at lunch with our playgroup friends Tuesday and he was playing with my straw. I told my friend, Kellie, how he liked to play with them but he could not drink out of them. Then Wednesday I had a milkshake for lunch (yes, you read that right and I am not ashamed!) and he wanted to play with the straw as I was getting him out of the car. Well, when I got in the house I looked over at him and he had ice cream all over his face and was smiling so big! Then I watched him take a big drink!!!
In other Cole news....we had 4 glorious weeks of Cole sleeping through the night and then we had the nerve to go on a trip! Needless to say naps and night time sleep have not been the best for us over the past few days. I think 2 things are going on....I think another tooth MIGHT be coming in but more than that I think I made a boo boo! Cole has never tolerated artificial sweeteners...major tummy upset. We have never directly given him any but whenever I would drink even 1 Diet Coke and then nurse him he would cry and cry. Well, we accidentally bought some mandarin oranges over the trip with Splenda in them and when we got home - to save room - we took all of the fruit out of the boxes to put them away. He loves oranges so he gets them a lot and I thought last night...I never got rid of the Splenda oranges and I bet he has been eating them! UGH!!!! So, I share this story with you to ask for prayers for patience as Cole has not been his normal happy, sweet self and for prayers that he starts to sleep well again so that mommy can be her normal happy, sweet self too!!!!
