cole was fascinated with the snowplows yesterday morning! the noise, the big equipment... right up any little boy's alley! good thing they waited till daylight to "move" snow... that way, we didn't have to lay awake listening to them outside our window at 1 am, and cole could watch. kept him occupied for awhile!
i put him on the chair so he could see better- fyi, i usually don't allow him to stand on the furniture... notice he had to bring his tractor up with him? uncle logan, this has got to be his favorite toy ever- he says "thank you"!!
and like any normal little boy, we had to incorporate our own version of machinery sounds... cole hasn't gotten the hang of making tractor sounds yet, so he does this kind of growl instead. it's funny... anyway, he was making that sound while watching the snowplows. enthusiastically, i might add; if it were me, i'd have a sore throat.
cole's new favorite activity is throwing fits. we know when one's coming, because he eases himself onto the floor and then starts kicking and rolling around. i have no idea what they're over- this happens several times a day, and i'm hoping that if we just walk away and ignore him, he'll realize that tantrums don't get him anywhere. it's amazing how such a sweet little person can turn into a raging demon in a matter of seconds... yikes! i'm pretty sure that teething has a little to do with it- he's got that fine, red teething rash around his mouth, he's always chewing on his fingers (but we try to give him a paci to chew on instead) and he's got all 8 of his front teeth now, so my guess is that his eye teeth are next. from what i've heard, they're usually the most unpleasant. poor kid! teething tablets help, but not as well as with his other teeth. owie. our doctor appointment yesterday went well... we thought for sure that they'd be running behind, since that ALWAYS happens with afternoon appointments, but we'd barely sat down in the waiting room and we got called. record timing- we were in and out in under 40 minutes! i'm still measuring a week and a half ahead, and baby girl decided to get feisty and wallop the dopplar real good. she was pretty active this time; usually she sleeps through our appointments. heartbeat is great, mommy didn't gain a ridiculous amount of weight and we had our group b strep test. it was negative last time, so i'm not too worried about it. we DID get checked for dilation this time- usually they don't start checking until 36 weeks, but last time, dr h said he felt that the checking should start early, just to be safe. nothing yet, which is good, i suppose. needless to say, kelvin was disappointed that he was wrong on his guess... i could see him sitting in the chair, silently saying "four". apparently he didn't remember that at 4 cm, a LOT more would most likely be happening! so- we're still safe, and baby's head is still up high, so we'll see where we're at in two weeks. a lot can happen during that time, as we learned from the last experience! our next visit is christmas eve, and the only times available were in the am... AND dr h is off that week, so i have to see dr lamb. not real thrilled about that, since i had him once when i was pregnant with cole and did NOT like him. oh well- it's just one time, i can handle it. since there's a 1/2 day for waupaca on the 23rd (to kick off christmas break), mom and sarah will be free that morning, so i'm lucky enough to have babysitters that day!! one last little thing- we're positive cole loves cheese. we know he'll eat it with enthusiasm, but when kelvin asked him what he wanted for supper last night and the reply was "TSEEEE!", we no longer have any doubt that it's a favorite! i put him to bed last night, and put him down while he was still 1/2 awake... as i left his room, i could hear him muttering "tsee, tsee, tsee"to himself. the boy loves cheese.
