Cole is 13 months! Actually he turned 13 months like 3 weeks ago but I haven’t blogged about his changes yet.  Now that he’s turned 1, Cole has been growing and learning so fast.  Sometimes I can’t believe how fast he learns how to do things.

Recently, he wants more and more to use utensils and to feed himself.  He feeds himself fine with his fingers but a spoon already?  It took me a while to let Grace feed herself with a spoon and I have a lovely video of her chowing down on yogurt (without a bib mind you!).  It still makes me cringe but she had a great time doing it.  So I let Cole do the same.  He picked up pretty fast how to use the spoon.  (Don’t mind the pink bowl and spoon)

Most of the yogurt ended up on his face.

Day 2 attempt at yogurt eating.  Pretty good Cole.

He’s really happy with himself.  Oh yeah, this is his “cheese” face.  When I take a picture and tell him to say cheese this is what I get.

Another big boy thing Cole loves is to do is drink juice from a juice pouch.  He amazingly doesn’t squeeze the heck out of the thing like Grace would.  He’s more interested in drinking the sweet juice. As you can see he is very focused on his mission.

He also loves pushing baby strollers around.  Not with babies in them.  Just an empty stroller.  He was pushing this stroller at Ava’s house while Grace and Ava had a playdate.

Now that I stay at home with the kids, I do alot more cooking.  And let’s just say it’s not easy to cook with two kids wondering about and tugging on my leg every 5 minutes.  So how do I occupy Cole?  Giving him pots and pans will help.  But a corn on the cob will do the trick too.  He loves to suck on them.

When Cole’s not eating or drinking, he’s got his binkie in his mouth.  Oh no, not another binkie baby.  I was doing so well by not giving it to him but lately since he’s been getting his back molars, I’ve caved in and give it to him.  It really helps with the teething.  Cole loves to lounge on the Elmo chair while double fisting binkies.

Cole wanted to show me how big his molars are getting.

Well, it’s bathtime!  Rub a dub dub!  Two goofy kids in a tub!  Bye!
