Tummy Time

Don't you just want to squeeze him he's so cute!? Cole just started rolling over from his tummy to his back. It took a little longer than usual because he doesn't get much tummy time...big brother is always in his business so we can't leave him hanging out on the floor too much. He has almost mastered rolling from his back to his tummy if he could just figure out how to get his arm out of the way. Devin took these pictures while Blake and I were running errands so Cole was safe from his attacker!

Just Because

Cole had his first taste of cereal this past week. We started Blake with cereal at about the same time (3 1/2 months), so we thought it was time to give it a try. He loves it! Maybe that's because we mixed a little fruit in with it too. :) It only took him a little while to figure out how to open his mouth big and wide when he wants another bite. The first couple of times we gave it to him, he started crying when it was gone because he wanted more. I don't remember Blake ever being that into it. The best news is, it has taken him from 2 feedings a night down to 1!! I remember with Blake that everyone said to give him cereal if we wanted him to sleep longer at night, so we did and it made absolutely no difference. But so far with Cole, it is making a huge difference. I am finally getting some sleep...yay!
Since we have pulled all of the baby stuff out of the closet, Blake has found some long lost friends. One of them being the high chair which he likes to eat in while he watches TV. Notice the cheesy smile...whenever we point the camera at him now, he smiles like this and says "Cheese!".
Blake and Cole's first bath together... Devin was working that evening, and rather than give 2 baths, I thought I would put them in together. It was pretty successful if you don't count the time Blake pulled Cole under the water.
Brotherly love...Blake loves his little brother so much. He is constantly loving on him and giving him kisses. Cole's changing table used to be his safe zone from sloppy kisses, but Blake has figured out he can bring a stool over and he's the perfect height.
Cole's general demeanor--happy!

The new evening event at our house is "Dance Party". Blake loves to turn on iTunes and show us his moves. His current favorite songs are I'm a Believer and All Star from Shrek. He also likes Rockin' Robin which he calls the Little Tweet Tweet song. He always wants Mommy, Daddy and Cole to join in on the dancing too. Fortunately there are no pictures to show as evidence.
Happy guy...I love those blue eyes!
Cole is 3 months old today. Happy Birthday little man! Here's his 3 month picture with the bear. He weighs 13lb 1oz and it seems like he gets bigger every day. He is such a happy baby...we are so blessed that he is easily entertained since Blake occupies a lot of our time. Cole's favorite past-time is watching his big brother play.
Here's Blake with his first snowman that Daddy helped him build.
