The things we do

Cole does raspberries while nursing.  He still sticks his thumb in there as well and when he gets distracted while nursing (which is often), he takes me with him. Ouch... to say the least.

Cole now will not stay on his back for anything or anyone. As I've mentioned before, this also happens when changing him. We've learned to change him while he's on his belly. If it's really important that he stay on his back for say a poopy diaper, we come in like a medical team and change his diaper so quickly, he doesn't even know what hit him. (Only he does because he's been screaming at us the whole time to let him turn over). The other night Cole actually tried to crawl on the changing table. He got on his hands and then his knees and propelled himself forward. He got as far as the end piece of the changing table and whacked his head. He cried, and even though he had a big red mark on forehead, he refused a towel with ice. I then gave him a bath, and it was like it never happened.

Cole nosedives my boobs when he's hungry. And it doesn't matter where we are.

Cole loves to pet Clem and Kiwi.  He laughs a deep hearty laugh when he pets them and tries to catch their tails.  It really is the sweetest thing. They grin and bear it and when it becomes too much, they just run away. Also, he tries to put Kiwi and Clem in his mouth, including their tails.

Cole can mostly pull himself up into a sitting a position. He can sit unsupported for a short period of time before flopping forward.

When Cole is hysterical Keith beatboxes and Cole is mesmerized and calms down. It's amazing to watch. Keith showed Cole Biz Markie (the ultimate beatboxer) on you tube and Cole was enthralled. Then again, he was also enthralled by the dancing Brazilian baby on youtube as well.

Sometimes though, Cole is inconsolable and just wants his mommy.
