cole and auntie sarah in the jc penney parking lot... ready to go shopping! he wasn't willing to look at the camera and cheese it up like he usually does because he was too busy looking at the stroller. he really likes that thing- thinks he's top dawg when he's sitting it!
this morning i was in the bathroom (all stairs and most doorways gated, of course) so cole was just puttering around... it got really quiet and of course, he ignored me when i tried to get his attention. that's his new thing, ignoring me; i couldn't see him from where i was so i just wanted a squeak or two so i'd have an idea of where he was. i knew he was in the kitchen, but since he was absolutely silent, i was slightly concerned that he may or may not have gotten into the garbage can and found some new toys (i.e. the onion peels and green pepper seeds from supper last night). he hasn't ventured into the garbage yet, but it's always a good guess when things get really quiet...
...but as it turned out, i had no reason to worry. he was happily playing with daddy's shoes! he has an extreme fascination with shoes, one that would make his auntie sarah quite proud. i think we're gearing up for teething: round two, judging by the way cole was intently and vigorously gnawing on the laces. he'd chew on them for a minute, then yank on them and giggle! it was so cute... oh, the things that entertain this kid!
these two pics are for cole's great-auntie dawn... he's modeling the outfit she got him! it's an 18-month size, but since he's a bit on the petite side, it's still plenty roomy, so he'll be able to wear it for a while. it's just SO cute! thanks again, dawn- i think it's one of the cutest outfits he's ever had!
of course, we had to get one with the jacket on... it came in really handy at convention. perfect for the fall weather, and it will still fit next spring. there's just something endearing about a little boy in denim- he looks like such a BOY in his denim jacket!
in other news and randoms, cole's new activity is pushing himself backward on his hands and knees on the floor. all the floors at the apartment in arizona were carpeted, so he thinks it's pretty neat to just brace himself on his hands and knees and slide backwards. the little giggles and squeals he lets out when he does it is funny; he really has fun! our next ob appointment is on thurdsay, in the late afternoon... it was originally scheduled for wednesday at 8.55 am, but i got to thinking last week, "uh-oh. i don't have a sitter", so i was able to get a later time the next day. that way, kelvin will be home and can come with to watch cole. i like having him come along, then he's more involved. i can't remember if i get the glucose test this time or next time. either way, i'm not really looking forward to it. who does?? and lastly (so far), kelvin pulled into the driveway at about 9.30, which confused me. i was already a bit "off" because he usually leaves just before 6 am, but at a few minutes after , i heard him making his cereal. odd- i went downstairs and he said he didn't have to be in till 7. 'k... and then he's home before 10? wow- guess i get lucky today- i don't have to battle the teething terror all by myself! speaking of, the terror is tossing a tantrum and his daddy finds it funny... kind of is, i guess. he's tired, because it's naptime and he was up twice again last night, so that doesn't help. man, our cute little bundle of joy really knows how to throw a tantrum... he'll cry himself out in a minute or two, guaranteed.
