Teething Essentials

Tylenol-check. Wet washcloth-check. Teeth-check!

Cole is in full-blown teething-o-rama. Everything gets chewed on, licked or eaten. Yesterday we were feeding him carrots while we were having dinner and I guess I wasn't feeding him fast enough because I looked over and he was trying to chew the tray of his highchair! Wish I had gotten that picture!


Tylenol-good for pain relief.


Tylenol-good for chewing!


Cole loves getting his face cleaned
after eating because he knows he gets
to chew on the washcloth when we're done!


Look close-
you can see his pearly whites!!!

Busy little big boy

Cole can now sit up unassisted. It's a whole new world for him now! He still topples over, but he's learning.
He also got his second tooth yesterday! He has been a very busy little guy. Every day he is a new man...we can't wait to see what tomorrow brings...

Just to prove he is not ALWAYS smiling!!!

Valenstine's Day...

That's what Sammie calls it...Valens-tine's Day! Pretty cute. We made homemade Valentine's for Daddy and Cole yesterday. She was so excited that I bought her scissors and actually did a pretty good job using them. She loves anything artsy-surprise surprise!
Happy Valenstine's Day!

A Long Day

Sammer has a little cold and so we were inside...all day...all 3 of us! The day went well--lots of liquids, lots of TV, a long nap, lots of Kleenex and then 4:30 came around and we were all a little stir crazy. It was time for some fresh air. Yes, she's in jammies-a sweater-her dress up "ballet" shoes as she calls them-and a hat that her nana made her! A little fresh air goes a long way.

I think she looks a lot like her brother with this expression!

I had to capture the whole ensemble!

Check out my cute hat-"mommy-can you see me?"

Give me the food and nobody gets hurt

Cole gets really excited about his food so I set his banana, apple, pears on his highchair and he tried to break it open. I have to be really conscious NOT to set any open food on his chair because he can now reach it and on a couple occasions has dumped it down the front of himself and tried to eat the bowl. Our little piggy!
