Baby Cole's first illness...

I took Cole to the doctor today and found out he has an upper respiratory infection. Poor little guy sounds like he is having trouble breathing. Yesterday was rough; he didn't nurse well and was very cranky. Today has been more crankiness, lots of sneezing, and some coughing. His little crys are so sad. We bought a humidifier at WalMart tonight. Hopefully that will help him breath better tonight.

Celebrating Mommy's Birthday

Don't count the candles, Gramma Dot put one for each year. The kitchen was full of smoke after I blew them out.

I think he likes to smile for the camera.

KRAMER

NICE HAIR KRAMER!

Cole just loves to be outside!

We spent most of the day outside today. Danny and I love this picture!

He is so alert and looks around all the time.

"What's up?"

"Don't take my hat off Mom! I have hat hair!"

"If you let the swing stop I will cry again."

He finally crashed...

Grabbing his First Toy!

"Hello?"

"Here Mom. It's for you."

"This is kinda fun."

"Am I precious, or what?"

Cole sleeping in his crib for the first time. We layed him down awake and the musical bee put him to sleep.

I think there is a pattern...

This was our first nap at home the day we came home from the hospital.

Some favorites

My camera is full of pictures and these are a few of my favorites.
Cole's first sponge bath at home.

We are sitting next to a parakeet that Daddy found in the yard while mowing.

Cole's first playdate! Landen is 7 months old.

He is such a big boy already!

Such cute little feet wearing mommy and daddy's wedding rings.

This is my last smile Mommy. You've taken too many pictures today.

Cole's first real bath at home. He absolutely loved it. He was four weeks old this day.

Daddy singing Cole to sleep. Cole actually sang along with him.

Royals Game

Cole did really well at the Royals game last Friday. He was awake the entire time....he just loves to be outside. It was a Fireworks night and for the first time in my life I had something better to look at than fireworks; Cole's reactions were fun to watch until the end. At the end of the show the explosions got really loud and crazy and he started to cry.

One Month Old!

Cole is one month old today so we went out to WalMart and got his pictuce taken! If you would like to view his adorable pics go to portraits.pictureme.com and enter Gerleman, the studio ID# is 10557, the session # is 101437.

Cole is sleeping...Zzzz

Cole was only up twice last night. He went to bed at 11pm and didn't wake up until 3am! Then he slept again until 6am, and again until 8:30ish. I feel so rested today!
