One Month Today

Cole is one month today and I'm surprised to say that he is 8 1/2 pounds! He's growing so fast, though it's funny that some of my friends baby's were never even this small. He is starting to have many more awake and alert moments and isn't sleeping all day long. Though he is still sleeping quite a bit. Of course those sleeping times are still in 3 hours blocks :)

Here he is earlier today. I love yawning pictures.

Carter is in Austin this weekend visiting Grandmama with Grandma and Grandpa. That gives Brian and I a weekend alone with Cole. This is actually the first time we've left Carter for more than one night and the first time for him to take a trip without us. But he's in good hands and probably won't even miss us! So while Brian takes his renewal class for his handgun license tomorrow, I'm going to treat Cole as a piece of luggage and carry him around town while I shop for a new pair of tennis shoes and a few other random things I can't do with 2 kids! Then tomorrow night Brian and I are going to smuggle Cole into the movie theatre. I figure he'll sleep the whole time in my sling and if he gets hungry, I'll feed him and then he'll go back to sleep. We'll see how it works!

Carter's language is developing alot lately. He's putting together 4 and 5 words now, and making sentences. It's amazing how one day it just clicks for them.

Off to relax on the couch since I don't have to feed, bathe and put Carter to bed tonight!
