Almost Walking

Cole has been pulling up and cruising for quite some time now. Recently, he is starting to stand alone for a few seconds. He has mastered walking behind his truck and really enjoys it! Here are a few pictures of him playing in the backyard!
Video footage of Cole walking behind his truck is coming soon!

Clothes

Yesterday I spent a good hour or two putting away all of Cole's 6-9, 9-12, and 6-12 month clothes. It seems like he'd been wearing those outfits forever and it made me a little sad packing away some of my favorites. I need to go out and buy more plastic bins to store his clothes in (I filled two and still need more).

His dresser is now filled with 12-18 and 18-24 months summer clothing (of course it's cold today). You know that you've purchased way too many things when you realize that you bought the exact same pair of shorts twice! (I think I'm blaming this one on Grammy) I can't help but feel like he needs more, because he has so much less in these sizes compared to the amount I just packed away, but in reality he has plenty.

While I was cleaning out his closet, I found a few 3-6 months jackets. It's so hard to believe that he was ever that small.

On a side note, I had his foot measured at the mall on Friday. He measured a 5 Extra Wide. That's huge! 5 is the largest size available in "pre-walking" shoes and extra wide is obviously the widest you can get and is only available in certain stores.

First Haircut

I apologize to all my faithful readers. It was brought to my attention that I haven't posted in over a week. I am deeply sorry to those of you who check out DW&SN numerous times a day, anxiously awaiting my next post.

Ok... on Monday Cole had his first haircut. We took him to Brien's stylist, Jamie, at Hair Cuttery. He did very well. He sat on Brien's lap and Jamie let him hold a comb, so he was happy. We just had the hair that was growing over his ears trimmed and a little trimmed off the back.

Trip to the Farm

Cole visited a farm for the first time this weekend. My uncle's parents live on a farm and my aunt and uncle live close by. We went down for my uncle's birthday party on Saturday and stayed the night. Cole really enjoyed himself!
