My Little Baldy

Cole had sooo much hair when he was born!  Where did it all go?

He's becoming a little baldy!

I know, he's even adorable from the back, huh?

Cutest expressions ever!

I love it when the weather is chilly enough to put a hat on Cole - something about wearing a hat just makes his face extra expressive or something!  What a cutie!

One of the sweetest things about Cole?  He loves to hold my hand, especially when he's falling asleep. 

If he's fussy at night, I just reach over and let his tiny fingers wrap around mine...and we both fall asleep peacefully.

Five Months

Dear Cole,

Today you are five months old.

It's hard to believe you've only been a part of our lives for five months.  Less than half a year, and I can already not imagine life without you.

Some friends have asked me about what it's like having a baby after wanting one for so long.  I can only tell them one thing: having you in my life has exceeded my highest expectations.  You are so much more wonderful, fantastic, fun, sweet, loving, and amazing than even I expected.

I love you more than anything, my darling son.

Love, Mama

Halloween Festivities

We had a whole weekend full of Halloween festivities.

On Saturday, we had a super fun party at our friends Risa and Aaron's house.  You know you love your coworkers when you spend the whole week with them and then still WANT to hang out with them on the weekend, too!

Then on Sunday, we carved our pumpkin.  Cole was enthralled with the guts.  And I was enthralled with watching him!

 Sunday night was spent in his costume, and then having some fun cuddle time with Mama!

There's nothing like having a baby to add to the fun of the holidays!

Happy Halloween!!!

We put Cole into his Halloween costume last night.  I almost passed out from how cute he was!

Yes, my baby IS really that cute.

Thanks to Gram for making the most adorable elephant costume ever!
