Yea, yea, yea.... :)

I know, its been a while!! But for very good reason!! I've been away from home for a week!! After I last posted, Cole and I took a little surprise trip!! :) Before I get into that, we had Cole's 2 month appointment... Boy was I surprised!! I was convinced that he was about 12 to 13 lbs.. Uhhh nope.. My little guy is long and lean!! He was 23 inches long and 10lbs 9 oz! Boy was I off on his weight.. Guess it just shows how strong I am!! I thought he was a lot more!! Doctor was not too worried about the weight, says he is on the growth curve.. Guess there is nothing wrong with a lean baby.. He is eating when he wants (every 2 hours!) and seems to be getting enough nutrition! He is a happy and healthy little guy!! He is smiling sooo much now!! It is soo cute!!

We are dealing with a little bit of a problem though.. Cole is opposite of most babies when it comes to the car seat and riding in the car... He absolutely hates it!! Every time we put him in the car seat he begins to cry.. No, not a whimper.. a FULL out, red faced cry with gasping for breathes and all!! Its heartbreaking!! I have tried just about everything to make this child happy.. Feed him, burp him, change him, play with him in the car, hang toys, put mirrors in front of him.. Nothing seems to work.. Pray that we can find the reason for this... We cannot stay home forever and I cannot bare to hear my little guy cry!! Hopefully he will "grow" out of it soon!! Any suggestions on what to do??

On to the trip.. My little sister was turning 4 at the beginning of October.. Ever since Cole was born, she has been telling anyone that would listen that her sister and Baby Cole would be at her birthday party, which was on October 2nd. Where she got that idea, not sure, but I decided it would be good to surprise her!! So that is what I did.. It was soo much fun to surprise her! And she was speechless! My mom did not even know I was coming.. We had such a great time! It was so fun seeing everyone's expressions when they saw me and the baby!! I cannot wait until December when we'll be headed home for good!!

Here are some recent pictures:

Guess he got tired of his paci falling out.. So he decided to hold it in himself! :)

Nothing else new here.. Reid has a major check ride tomorrow.. Pray that he does amazing!! He has been studying soo hard for it!!

Hope everyone is having a great week!!! :)
