Playtime with Guido!
Cole loves Daddy's old stuffed orangutan, Guido. On this particular occasion, he enjoyed wrestling with Guido and grabbing his nose. 3/21/2012.
Eleven Months Old!
Wow, oh, wow! Our little man is 11 months old! How has our life changed since this time last year?! I remember quite clearly how I felt, all pregnant, swollen and tired -- and thinking that I couldn’t possibly be more tired. Man, was I wrong. And now, here we are, with this squirmy, noisy, lovable little buddy who brings so much joy to our lives. What has Cole been up to this month, you ask? Lots of things, my friends. First, we are sure he’s picking up some words. “Momma” and “Dadda” are still his favorites (and we are certain that “Momma” is interchangeable with “milk” in his mind). He has started signing “light,” we think he’s saying “up” on occasion when he wants to be lifted, and we think he says “book” (sounds like “buh”). We’re not quite to calling a first word yet, but we’ll keep you posted. Regardless, we can definitely see that Cole is practicing his language and wants to communicate. Oh, and he is very good at pointing out noses (see picture above). It’s all very exciting. In other news, Cole is learning lots of fun songs at daycare and enjoys doing the signs along with them. For example, we discovered the other day that Cole does the “shame shame” finger point along with “Five Little Monkeys” (“No more little monkeys jumping on the bed!”). It’s so much fun to watch. Another of Cole’s favorite activities is to watch the numbers in the elevator down to daycare each morning. We will often park on the 4th level, and he smiles and giggles when Daddy and I count down to the first floor while the numbers in the elevator descend (“ 4, 3, 2, 1, yay!!!”). We love to pick Cole up from daycare each weekday. He still loves the Cradle Club, but he really loves when we come to take him home at the end of the day. As soon as he hears one of us, he looks up, gets a huge smile on his face, and crawls as fast as his little knees will take him over for a hug. It makes a hard day at work vanish in an instant. 3/21/2012.
Toothy Grin
Just showing off his four front teeth. This picture was taken on Daddy's birthday, right before birthday brunch at the Original Pancake House in Edina. We wonder if OPH felt somehow familiar to Cole, who ate their plenty of times while in Mommy's tummy. Strawberry crepes and turkey sausage. Yum. 3/18/2012.
Apple-icious
Gramma Lily wanted to try giving Cole a whole apple to knaw on. And so we did. By the time he was done with it, the apple was covered in tiny little teeth marks. 3/17/2012.

Picking Up
Cole likes to play along the furniture. He's gotten really good at lifting his toys off the floor and placing them on the couch, where he'll play standing up. Hey Cole, while you're over there, want to fold some of that laundry? 3/6/2012.
Cole Rocks Out
Just a little snippet of Cole rocking out to Koo Koo Kanga Roo at Rock the Cradle. 2/26/2012.
Crawling: Stage 2
Not the most exciting video, we admit. But we wanted to memorialize this stage in Cole's mastery of the art of crawling. Shown here, our little guy wondering around the "pond" in the little kids' room at the Children's Museum in St. Paul. 2/18/2012.

De La Cole
De La Soul? More like, "De La Cole!" Daddy and Cole enjoyed head-bobbing to some sweet tunes over breakfast. That's the truth! 2/16/2012.
Crawling: Stage 1
And so it began. . . . With Mommy, Daddy, Gramma and Bobpa cheering him on, Cole began (kind of) crawling. 2/4/2012.
Yogurt Face
We're quite behind on videos (and pictures, for that matter). Please forgive us -- our computer was on the fritz. Thankfully, it's back and so are we. 1/21/2012.
