to recap the last month: photos!

(11th april, 2008)
ok, so this old dino of a computer is dead set against letting me put these pictures in order... i apologize! at least i SHOULD be able to get some captions- it's kinda hit or miss with this pile of bits and pieces! technology- phhht!

(9th april, 2008)

these particular shots are for elissa- THIS is how he holds his burp-rag, hands free! he thinks it's really funny and giggles when we acknowledge that he's doing it. he knows he's funny...

these pics are for mom and dad... remind you of someone? (he does this EVERYWHERE... including on my hand when i'm holding him... just twirls or rocks his hand back and forth!)

this picture belongs with the other ones at the bottom of the page (they are from 7th april). this was cole's first bubble bath... he had SO much fun! he always loves his bath, but he was on cloud nine with this one!

this is from when we were in wisconsin for grandma's 8oth... dad was having a good time walking with cole, and mom held his hands while all three of them 'danced'. it was a pretty sweet moment...


monday, 17th march was the day we went to see grandma and grandpa b. in clintonville. cole got a fun ride on grandpa's office chair and the grandma let him 'help' on the computer. cole was in his glory!!

these were some that were taken about two weeks ago. cole just happened to be mid-blink when the first one was snapped... he looks like he's enjoying some pretty strong stuff! lol ;). the other one was a few days after he started his pink eye meds... you can't really see it here, but there was still a bit of puffiness and red along the rims of his peepers. but the smile is priceless!

our new favorite thing to dress him in... some old guy asked if he was really fbi... yes, of course! he's undercover as a baby- duh!

just for kicks... when we were all sick, i made a run to the kitchen for more ice and when i got back, this is what had been left from my glass. doesn't that just make your day... and yes, our nightstand is actually a cardboard box.

and... the rest of cole's bubble bath snapshots!! i love how he looks so in awe of those suds in the first picture... he really did have a blast!

there... now that i've gotten a bit caught up, i can relax. yeah right... a nap would be nice! i'm hoping my darling son will go down soon; last night was NOT good! bed at 8.30, up at 9; bed at 9.30, up at 10; bed at 10.30, up at 11. in the swing till 3, with me on the couch. he was very restless the whole time he was in the swing, so i only got to doze a little. then he woke up again, fell asleep on my belly, in his bed at 4, up for the day a little after 5. the chamomile did not work it's magic last night, neither did the teething tablets or tylenol. just a bad night, i guess. oh well... i've given up on getting any decent sleep for awhile! it's seems you can handle things better when you just roll with the punches, so that's the way i'm gonna do it from now on! if nothing else, this whole bedtime business really keeps things interesting... :)
