A cold, Dallas, 7 Months and crawling...

All in a week..... :)

Hope everyone's Valentine's Day was filled with lots of love and joy!! With Hubbs being away at training, I spent my Valentine's with the best little Valentine!! But that day didn't go as well as I planned!! I woke up to a little boy with a 103 fever.. So of course I wanted to get him checked out and make sure everything was ok.. Thankfully everything seemed ok, just a little cold.. And he was trooper!! It is soo hard to see your little guy not feeling good and not be able to take the pain and sickness away!! Our Valentine's Day was spent snuggling!! Thankfully we got through it and are only dealing with the remaining runny nose!

We are currently in Dallas and have been since Friday!! We got to spend the weekend with daddy!! It was soo much fun!! We met up with some friends from Del Rio and took Cole to the Zoo!! It was such a beautiful day!! Cole had as much fun as a 7 month old could.. Of course all he wanted to do is people watch and smile and giggle at everyone!! It was really fun getting out and doing family things!!

Daddy is back at training for a few days and will be back to down with us on Thursday!! Along with tons of family!! Cole and I both get to meet a lot of Hubbs's extended family.. There is a memorial service on Friday, Feb 25th for Hubbs's grandfather who passed away in September. Yes, its awhile after but for good reason!! We have soo many military men and women in the family and they wanted to wait until everyone could make the funeral/memorial service. I think it is awesome that they planned it this way.. Its going to be a great memorial!

So yes, we have hit 7 months with this little guy!! Its really hard to believe that I have been a mommy for 7 months now.. I am loving every second of it!! Although I would like to press pause and keep Cole little forever!! He is growing up way too fast!! He started CRAWLING yesterday!!! He technically was not even 7 months yet and he was already mobile!! I honestly cannot believe it!! We we were home, he was barely pushing up.. He would get soo frustrated and not want to crawl... Now, he is doing it all!! I think he wanted to wait so daddy could see him do it first!! I am going to attempt to get a video of him crawling and if I am successful I will post it!! But it is kind of hard when he wants my phone and I am trying to tape him! :) I have to use my phone because I forgot to charge my battery on my camera.. But I will have it mid-week and can start using it again!!

Here are a few pictures of the little guy!!

Me with my little Valentine.. That was the day he started not feeling good..

Cole beginning to crawl... He was kind of frustrated!

Standing at the top banister looking down at daddy.. And yes, I am laying/hiding on the floor holding him in case he fell back!

Us at the Zoo.. Cole was enjoying chewing on Sophie the giraffe while looking at the giraffes!

Have a great week everyone!!! :)

Stats and Pictures

Cole is growing soo fast!! We had his 6 month appointment this week.. A little late due to all the moving and transferring doctors.. But as promised here are his stats:

- 15 lbs. 3 oz.
- 26 3/4 inches long
- wears 6-9 month clothes
- eats 2 solid meals a day
- takes 2 naps a day
- loves to sit and play on the floor
- learning his voice and loves to "talk"
- loves being outside
- just starting to learn how to use a walker.. Watch out!!

According to our new doctor, Cole is perfect long and skinny little boy.. She was not concerned at all with his weight or anything.. We agree, he is PERFECT!! :)

Hubs has come and went again.. He is now gone for 5 months... But we'll be visiting him some in Oklahoma.. But while he was home briefly, we had Cole baptized.. This was the only time we could plan this before Cole is almost one.. Daddy will be gone until the end of June! It was such a privileged to have Pastor David, who married us, do the baptism! It was soo good to have all the love and support from our Family and Friends!!




I also got his 6 months pictures done.. Here is one as a sneak peek:

Please forgive the look of it, I took a picture of it on the computer to send to hubs!

Here are a few more of our handsome little fella! :)

Hope everyone is having a great week!! The little guy is waking up.. Duty calls! :)
