What he is.

I was going to start this post out with a picture of a fat baby to show what Cole is NOT. However, when I Googled "fat baby" in images, I couldn't bring myself to use one. These babies looked like their cheeks were eating their faces. I can only figure that they drink from bottles of bacon grease.

So, we will focus on what Cole IS. I'd say happy.



So many of you left reassuring comments after I mentioned Cole's lack of weight gain. Thank you. I thought that I'd update on the subject. And I'll try to sum it up and get to the point --not one of my strengths.
The week after Cole's year check up, I took him to the lactation consultant I'd worked with before. I knew that even though he was drinking cow milk now, she'd offer good advice and weigh him for free. She did both. I decided to tell the docs that I wanted to wait. We'll see how things are going at 15mos. We feel good about letting it be for now.

He's such a content kid. What a blessing to have him in our family. He thinks he and his sister are hilarious. They are.

He's a doll! And since I haven't seen you or him in forever (as you're in YW's) I think he's HUGE! Wasn't it like last month when he was born? :P Seriously, he looks like a big, healthy boy to me!

I know that I have already said this, but I LOVE these pictures. I guess it does help that the subject is so cute.

Yes, he is infinitely cuter than any random baby picture you could find on the web. And he does look like a happy and healthy boy! My kids all started out huge and then most of them slimmed down quite a bit as babies and toddlers. I'm glad the lactation specialist was helpful and reassuring.

Okay, what's going on with the comments being monitored? I just send the same comment twice cause I thought it didn't work. So silly me.
"If I said it once, I'll say it again, he is the sweetest cutest boy ever!"

Love, love, love, love that face. He is growing up too fast. I love the very first picture. Tessa is such a great big sis. You can see that she just loves that little boy! Can't wait to be with you all next week!
