Cole Performs
After some demonstration by Nana, Cole seemed to get the hang of playing his xylophone. We think you'll agree that we could have a maestro on our hands. 12/24/2011.

Present!
Cole seems to enjoy eating his way through wrapping paper rather than simply tearing. Oh well! To each his own! 12/24/2011.

From Bobpa to Cole: Part 2
It's a real fire helmet! The helmet used to be Bobpa's, but Bobpa decided to pass it on to his special little buddy. He had a brand new name badge fashioned just for Cole. We're sure Cole will treasure this priceless gift for years to come. 12/22/2011.
From Bobpa to Cole: Part 1

Cole Meets Santa
Every baby needs a "Baby's First Christmas" picture with Santa Claus. Mommy was rooting for Cole to burst into tears for that classic baby-meets-Santa shot, but, alas, Cole just looked unimpressed and unamused. It's ok, Cole -- you'll realize soon that Santa is, in fact, quite an interesting fella. 12/17/2011.

Standing! (Kind of)
One of Cole's favorite new games is to practice standing (with a little help). 11/20/2011.
Pat-a-Cake
I'm a little behind on uploading videos, so this one's a little old. Anyhow, Pat-a-Cake is one of Cole's favorite games, and it usually elicits much laughter. Not so much here, but, well, we don't have video cameras strapped to our hats, which means we don't always capture his roaring laughter, or when he recites the alphabet backwards and skips about unassisted. You'll just have to believe us. 11/01/2011.
