Cole is 9 months!

So I did a make shift photo shoot in my house and borrowed my awesome friends Kristin's older camera and shot a bunch of pics.....these are only a few that I took. This little guy is 9 months! Can't believe it! I actually should have made this post two weeks ago, but this is what you get now!

A few little facts about Cole....

* At his 9 month appointment he weighed in at 15 lbs 13 ounces (-3%), height 28 3/4 (50%), head 17 1/2 (50%)

* The doc prescribed meds, blood tests, sweat test, urine test, plus pediasure etc.

* We tried the meds out for a day or two and decided to stop....don't like to put my kids on not needed meds...we did a blood test.....they wanted another blood test......I refused. Canceled the sweat test....and now he is just eating more and we are trying to help him gain weight!

* He is always happy and the EASIEST baby ever!

* He now has 5 teeth!

* He rolls everywhere and just last night tried a little crawling! I am sure he will be full blown crawling before the New Year! (I am a little nervous about that!)

* He loves the kids, loves everybody, and I could not ask for a better baby! We love him so much!!!

Merry Christmas wishes!

Hope your Christmas is happy and full of laughter!
