Surprised!

Why am I surprised?? Because my little guy is so STRONG and BRAVE!!! Or maybe he has a high tolerance for pain? Well, I took him last week for part of his shots.. He received 1 shot and the oral vaccine. He fussed for about 30 seconds when he got the shot and then I gave him a bottle.. He seemed fine the rest of the day, just a few fussy moments... Well, we had to go back today for the rest... Hubs has night week this week, so he was home to go with us!! Made me happy because I wanted him to be there and see what his little guy has to go through... What do you know... this little guy barely made a peep! He got two shots today, and made a sad, boo boo lip and red face.. But never made a peep! Within 5 seconds, he was right back to normal.. I chalked it up to Cole wanting to be brave and show his daddy what a big boy he is!! I was soo proud!! Now, lets just hope he does not spike a fever or seem too uncomfortable...

Here are a few pictures from the last week!! Cole is changing soo much!! He loved to smile!! And I am pretty sure I heard him laugh for the first time!! Of course, I am trying to get him to do it again all the time!! I don't want that first one to be just a fluke!!

We took Cole out Friday to the "Drop." Its a big deal once a month because the graduating class finds out what they will be flying.. Its a lot of fun! Cole did not like it at first because he was really sleepy.. He is in that "fight sleep" stage! But I finally got him to sleep at the very end.. So mommy missed most of it!! We hung out for a bit afterwards to socialize and act like normal people! It was fun because Cole woke up and was in a good mood!! Just cheesed and melted everyone's heart!! And I actually got told that he is starting to look like me!! Haha! TAKE THAT Hubs!! :) But Honestly, I still think he is a spitting image of his daddy!! You make the call:

Apparently he does not like taking pictures with mommy... Maybe that is why we do not have that many!

He definitely is "Daddy's little wingman!!" :)

We have discovered that when Cole is content and happy, he does the following with his left arm:

Rockin' the Auburn gear!! :)

Its pretty funny!! He loves to bring his left arm up to the side of his head and almost brush his hair with his fingers.. Its pretty cute!!

Well that is it for now... Gotta get a few things taken care of while the little guy sleeps!!

Hope everyone is having a great week!! :)

Approaching 2 months...

Do you know what that means??? ***cringes*** Shots.... :( Yes, thats rights its shots time.. And this mommy is NOT looking forward to them! I have decided that I am going to split them up... I did a little research about the whole Autism thing... Yes, I agree with all that.. But honestly, I am splitting up my son's shots because I do not want to subject him to all those vaccines all at once, and his daddy asked me to.. :) I know I have to be "bad mommy" twice as much.. But I think I would feel a little bit better.. I just need to be BRAVE... I really don't like seeing my little guy cry.. I mean look at this face:








My sweet baby boy is growing up! :) Haha!! I sound like a sappy mommy! :)

In other news with Cole... He passed his hearing test!! And he had an ultrasound done on his hips to make sure they were in place.. So far, everything looks good!! Yay!! :)

Hope everyone is having a great week!! :)

Horrible Blogger

But I have an excuse... A high maintenance 7 week old! He's been soo clingy lately.. I think he has been going through a growth spurt!! He is getting SOO big already!! See for yourself:

Learning to play on his play mat.. (How cute are the pants??)

Managing to catch him mid-smile...

How we get ready for the bath when daddy's not home... :) (I only have 2 hands!!)

My little ham! :)

Hubs called me back to the room and this is what I found... Like father, like son.. :)

Guess he didn't want me to put him down.. (Pay attention to his hand entangled in my hair... )


I am getting better at taking pictures, promise!!

On a HAPPY note, this little guy is starting to sleep a lot better!! Hes been sleeping 5 hours straight!! Thats good for us!!! :)

Happy Wednesday!! :)

My favorite time of the year...

Not only is this creeping up on us... (Ok, maybe not here in Middle of Nowhere, Tx)

FOOTBALL SEASON has arrived!!! This is the one thing, and the only thing, I miss about college!! I miss tailgating with all our friends (we had the BEST tailgating experiences put on by our Alumni Friend, John)!! And I absolutely miss going to games!! Nothing beats going to Auburn Football games!!

This has to be my favorite time of the year!! The leaves begin to change, cooler weather is near (again, not here, but back home!)... We will soon get to carve pumpkins, go on hay rides, Celebrate Oktoberfest and celebrate Cole's first Halloween!! Not to mention birthdays, Thanksgiving and Christmas right around the corner too! Ohh and this means we are soo much closer to heading home to Georgia again too!! :)

Hope everyone enjoys their long weekend!!
