Coley Cole

I am just absolutely adoring being this boys mamma. He brightens every single day. He is growing up so very fast. There is no one he adores more than his big brother "hahdee" and the times he laughs & giggles the very hardest are when he is playing with his daddy. I treasure the times I get to just sit & snuggle him. He is still my little snuggler, thank goodness for that. However, even though he is a snuggler he is also a go go goer. He is constantly on the move;climbing on the table, emptying my pots & pans, emptying my bathroom cabinets, jumping on the bed, you name it he does it. This boy keeps his mamma hopping. Cole LOVES shoes. He is often seen sporting mommies or daddies shoes or anyone else's he can find. Our shoe basket gets emptied probably 400 times a day :) Cole also loves mittens & gloves (just like his big brother Hardy). He will put a glove on & wear it the entire day- including nap time. Cole has discovered that he has pockets & he likes to stuff everything imaginable in them (food, rocks, acorns, etc). He also likes to just stick his left hand in his pocket & walk around. Very cute. Cole doesn't quite realize that he is 1 & not 4. When Hardy has friends over Cole fits right in. It makes him so sad when we drop Hardy off at preschool or friends houses. He doesn't understand why he can't go too. He also loves to mimic Hardy... if Hardy is sweet... Cole is sweet... if Hardy is naughty...well, yep so is Cole. Ah, the joys of having a big brother :) Cole is still our super eater. He eats & eats & eats & eats... and boy does he get excited when its time to eat :)He has this really funny exploding laugh going on right now & his favorite times to use it are when he's getting at treat or in the middle of church- yes it is very entertaining to all surrounding us :) My favorite sign that Cole uses is "love you" he pronounces it "Wahnee" (no idea where that came from) and crosses his arms against his chest & then points to you. He also throws in a kiss blown to you at the end. It is the cutest thing ever! I would have to say that Cole's number one word he uses the most is "Hi". It is equally as adorable :) He says it with much gusto & boy would this world be a happier place if everyone was greeted with such energy & love :). We love our little Coley Cole.
