Things Cole Learned This Month

How to dress like Rambo...
Honestly, he put this belt on himself without my help.


How to climb in the kitchen drawer for a break...
This too he did by himself.


How to properly hold a cell phone...
What you see in his hand is a cell phone charger. Since he makes calls on our cell phones, he is no longer allowed to play with them. Cole has improvised by using anything as a phone. (i.e. remotes, shoes, etc.)



How to wipe off tables...
Wish I had this on video. I guess after seeing me wipe things down for months and months Cole picked up on it. I really hope skills like this will stick with him. I also caught him putting his diapers in the diaper bin, instead of dumping them out. He is getting so smart.

How to take some steps...
In the last two days, Cole has taken at most 4 steps by himself with much encouragement from York and myself. It's not something that happens often and is over in a split second, so we have yet to catch it on film. Hopefully he will be doing some great walking in the next few days/weeks.

How to take his diaper off...
A couple of weeks ago Cole has napping in his crib. I went to peek in on my little angel only to find he was sitting up and had a fist full of poop he was studying intently. Lets just say that there was a bit of a mess to clean up. I didn't take any pictures because I thought that would be a bit much. (Plus I was in a hurry to clean it up.) So I guess you can say the thing I learned this month was to check on Cole often, now that he can take his pants and diaper off!?!?
