just stuff

seems that now that we're so impatiently waiting the big event, there are no other major or significant happenings to pass the time... so i'm just posting randoms.monday night- this was how cole told me he was ready for bed. i had the little point and shoot handy but had to use full zoom because if i didn't "sneak" the shot, he'd have gotten up and i'd have lost it... that's why the photo is so dark. grrrr.

yesterday afternoon/early evening, kelvin was out plowing the driveway and getting fuel for the furnace... cole, of course, was intrigued. once he figured out how to climb up on the chair, he was SO proud of himself!! the first time he did it, he didn't think much of it, since he was too busy waving at daddy through the window. i think he sat up there for a good half and hour... ahhh, no havoc for a full 30 minutes! anyway, after supper, cole decided to try it again, so i had to get it on camera (of course).

settling in...


we aren't quite sure what this face is all about, but it's funny! now that cole knows how to navigate the chair, i no longer have a safe place for my stuff... this particular chair is blocking a certain someone's access to things he doesn't need to get into (i.e. mommy's scrapbooking supplies and other various crafting items, as well as a big cd wallet and my nice fake orchid...). with space limited like it is, i just don't have anywhere else to go with it, so i guess this particular little person is just going to have to learn to listen. he knows how to ignore us when we catch him getting into trouble, so i'm pretty sure he knows how to listen too. i think he has a bad case of selective hearing. either that or he knows that by the time mommy can work her way up from the couch (if she happens to be sitting there) or waddle her way over, he can be long gone from the "crime scene". i can just imagine him giggling to himself when he gets into trouble, because he knows i can't get to him very quickly... and i myself giggle when i think of how he may react in a little while when i can once again keep up with him. poor kid will have to adjust to mommy being adequately mobile again...
so- it's so weird to think that it's new year's eve! we have no plans... obviously we can't really go anywhere. for one, cole would NOT do well staying up late, and neither would kelvin. if this baby's still a no-show by midnight, i'll for sure be up to see in the new year. dr h mentioned the possibility of a new year's baby, so maybe we'll get REALLY lucky... ??

I love his face expressions! Adorable! Having the 1st baby of 2009 would be neat, but babies often have much different ideas than their mommies! ;) Happy New year!
