what a day!

yesterday went from this...
to this...
to this. happy, cranky, vandal. i think we can call this cole's first attempt at vandalism. he did rather well for a 9 1/2 month old!
he had a LOT of fun. now if we could only get him to change himself...
in his hasty exit, he had diapers stuck underneath his tummy that stuck with him as he crawled away... what a goof!
and this would be the aftermath. i can't wait to scrapbook this! first i have to get the rest of it going- i have his ultrasound photos done... 2 pages, woo-hoo. now that we have a printer, maybe i can get caught up before the baby is born. yeah right, huh? keep dreaming!
speaking of dreaming, as i look at these photos and curse the limited flash and zero aperture options, i think back to when we were last at best buy and the beautiful cameras that they have there. not really in my budget but i can dream... and drool... and think "maybe someday". don't get me wrong, i love our camera, it's great for a point-and-shoot, but there are times (many times) when it just can't do what i wish it could. unfortunately a good camera costs money and lots of it... maybe in the not-too-distant future...!
anyway, i know i'm almost always a day behind on my posts, but by the time cole goes down for the night, i'm bushed. right now, he's napping- he only had 5 oz of his bottle for breakfast, showed no interest in anything else until about 9.30, when he had his cereal with bananas. then it was lights out... i stuck him in his pack-n-play where he protested for a while before finally passing out in the corner. for some reason, no matter where i put him or in what direction, he always ends up with his head mashed in the top left corner. weird. so, there he is, head in the corner, butt in the air, and i am off to take a shower while i still can!
oh, one more thing... i weighed and measured cole and then went online to see what his percentiles are according to the charts from the cdc. he weighs 21 pounds (65th percentile) and is 28 inches (45th percentile). his head circumference is at about the 70th percentile, so he's doing pretty well. i know that they kinda bounce all over the chart until about 18 months, so i'm not worried about anything with him- he's showing over-all regular growth in every area! every now and again some random person will comment on how HUGE he is for his age... ok, then explain to me why, at almost 10 months, he is still wearing 3-6 month bottoms and 6-9 month tops? his tops are 6-9 month because he's too long for 3-6. i think he's just right...
