the package has arrived!

yeah, it sounds like some military code phrase, i know... like, the eagle has landed or something like that. but anyway, yes, mom's package finally came! it's a long story involving what mom and i agree smells like a delivery cover-up... excuses, excuses. tsk, tsk, tsk, united states postal service! it's great to finally have my camera cable back, and cole looks adorable in the outfit that my dad sent! for those who aren't familiar with the shopping habits of my father, he rarely sets foot in a mall, much less picks out an entire outfit. let me tell you, he did GREAT! thank you SO much, dad! (and cole says, "thank you grandpa!!) cole can't wait to model it for you for real... :)
i am now faced with the daunting task of posting photos from the last 4 weeks. i realized that i really have to pare down on which ones i post, since it could take ages. this is due to our partially disabled laptop. i say partially because while it DOES run, it takes it's sweet time. also, we have a broadband internet connection that is rather narrow-minded when it comes to the definition of high-speed... i hope someone got that so i don't sound like a complete idiot. it was a joke...

so, here's cole at mom and dad's on 3/15. he learned to make this funny face just a day or two before. i have NO idea where he got it from... possibly his daddy?


i love theses pictures... auntie sarah and uncle tedly "teaching" cole to crawl! it was SO cute, like he had his own support team! and the one of him and ted... priceless!


and, here's 'little buddy's' new duds from his grandpa... he looks so cute! the socks are a bit big, but they'll shrink a little in the wash. right now, the entertainment value is pretty hefty, though. something he can throw around without breaking, smack into his forehead without getting a bruise... best of all, mommy doesn't mind cuz socks aren't breakable! you can't see the belt on these photos, but it's really sweet- it has airplanes on it to match the one on his shirt.
so... i promise, there are more photos coming, but like i said, it will take awhile. it took me over an hour to finally get things straightened out enough to where i could actually publish this post... i had to start over at least 5 times. ridiculous. but, i got it done!
and a little update with cole and his sleep habits... last night went really well! he fell asleep VERY reluctantly around 9.30, then got up briefly just after 2, and then slept again until just after 6. good boy! the past few days, he's been getting up around 6 or a little after, sleeping right through kelvin getting ready for work, eating breakfast, etc. surprising, since his 'bedroom' is also the living room/dining room! i am impressed... i am also getting a rocking chair. enough said.
