7 Months

March 4th, 2009 by Mom

Cole is 7 months and I can’t believe it.  It’s true what people say that when you have two kids, the time just flies by that much faster.  It doesn’t feel like it’s been 7 months since Cole came into our world.  He’s growing to be such a cutie pie with such a great outlook on life.  He always has a smile for you. 

Lately, he’s been pulling himself up and mini cruising.  One minute he’s at one spot and then I look over and he’s cruised over to another spot.  He’s still not completely crawling right now.  This week I’ve noticed that if he wants a toy bad enough he’ll do a scoot.  His tush doesn’t lift off the ground.  Silly kid.  Grace was similar in that she did a half crawl too.  She never fully crawled just went straight to walking. 

He’s adjusting wonderfully to his helmet.  Last week I took him to the helmet doctor to get his head rescanned to see the progress.  The results were awesome.  His head is getting rounder in the back and is getting less lopsided.  He still has a good two more months in the helmet but we’re already half way there. 

Even though he has a helmet it doesn’t stop us from putting things on his head.  We’ve tried out a few things to see if the helmet would be less conspicuous. 

Buckethead….

Lego buckethead….

Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim baseball cap….

He even wanted to try out to be the drummer for Led Zeppelin.  He was crushed when I told him the spot was filled. 

As posted in sissy Grace’s blog we got to spend some time with Yaya and Papa and other Dykes family members.  Cole got to ride the teeter totter with the big girls.  He looks like he’s enjoying himself…

Until he falls off and eats grass but Aunt Cara is there to console him.  We are thankful for the helmet during these times. 

I think he’s more comfortable sitting on the grass and watching the crazy girls play.

Cole also got to ride the slide with Daddy’s help of course.  What a big boy.

Still, his favorite times are when he gets to be home with Grace and play.  Sometimes he bugs her and tugs on her princess dresses.

But most of the time they enjoy eachother’s company.

See ya folks later.  Getty-up Giacomo!!
