So admittedly I'm writing this way after the fact of Cole's 21-month anniversary as a little person, and the downsides to my failure of keep this up become remarkably obvious, as recall is not great after a year or so. Luckily, this mom took some notes:
At twenty-one months old, Cole continues to add to his ever-growing vocabulary, and makes us giggle from time to time with his funny pronunciations. Chris sometimes says he was obviously supposed to be born in Germany or Austria, as he has this adorable little "accent." Some of our favorites at this time are "peanut baaater" and "teeter taaaater." He also enjoys numbers and can count to 12 -- sometimes on his own, sometimes with a little help.
Cole still attends Family Flex daycare and has moved up to the "Meadow" room at school. He loves his teachers and his friends, as do Mommy and Daddy. We feel blessed to have found him such a nice place to play and learn while we have to be away at work.
Of course, he's a toddler, and with this age come some bumps. Currently, he is very "flaily" and often swings his arms destructively, and he sometimes hits. We're working on that.
This month, Cole had the extreme pleasure of riding in Auntie Chelsey's Jeep, which was a BIG deal to him. He talked about the experience for weeks afterwards, and for a long time would bring up the Jeep at any mention of Chelsey.
Cole is obsessed with fire hydrants and points them out to us whenever he spots one.
He also had his first "balloon incident" this month -- and it wasn't even his balloon! He saw a child lose a helium balloon to the wind and skies and became very distressed for the child and balloon. This is another incident he continued to discuss long after the fact, continually explaining to us that it went way, way, way, way up high and far away.
And, of course, at the beginning of this lovely month in Cole's life, we enjoyed a wonderful Christmas with Nana and Opa, Chelsey and the Dake family. Our little guy is spoiled with love and toys. 1/21/2013.
