October!!

I love October for many reasons.  It's my birthday month!  It means it's time for fall and pumpkins and pumpkin flavored things.  Baby Cole turns one month old.  HALLOWEEN.  All good things.  And now that we are fast approaching Cole's 6 week mark, I thought I might as well share a few photos I took of my big one month old!!

I took this picture in the front yard!  It was a last minute decision on an extra hot day, and I'm so glad it worked out!

At one month, Cole decided he wanted to be held to sleep all the time!  Sometimes he could be fooled into sleeping in the mamaroo, but mostly he just wanted to sleep in my arms.  He had a few days of being fussy, but really, if he's being held, he's happy.  He doesn't really cry for no reason.  If he is crying, he's hungry, or he wants to be in someone's arms.  Guess you can't really blame him!

He weighs at least 10 pounds now, up over 3 pounds since we left the hospital!  He loves his paci, being held, riding in the car (most of the time), and he still has most of his hair, although it's getting lighter!  His big brother and big sister are still obsessed with him, and want to be around him and holding him constantly.  He particularly loves Riley!  He loves when she talks to him and sings to him and holds him.

Not much else is going on at just one month old... a little bit of tummy time, a lot of sleeping, lots of diaper changes... you know, the usual. :)
