18 Months!!

I am so sad Cole is already 18 months old.  He is growing up way too fast for me.

I am soaking up and truly enjoying my time with him.  Kyle and Hailey were so close in age that as much as I truly loved them and enjoyed them, a lot of my life was just about surviving.  Having a 5 year old and a 4 year old helps me to realize just how truly little 18 months is.

 

 

Of course Cole wanted nothing to do with the table. He had to run from chair to chair and climb up on them.

 

I was so excited to update Dr.D on our visit to Children's concerning Cole's heart and since he had his tubes put in his ears we both took a minute to catch up because it had been 3 months since we saw one another. That is quite the stretch considering I had been in the office with Cole so often. 

 

His check up went well. He is growing and gaining weight.  Everything is great except that he isn't really talking. Cole expresses himself. No one ever has to doubt what he wants, where he wants to go or anything else he wants to express, He has said words.  But he does not say them consistently. I am trying to not stress too much.  My sister Katelin had her own language until she was 3 and we always understood her.  Not that I want Cole to create his own language, but it gives me hope he'll be alright =)

 

Happy 18 Months Nugget!!

 

Please stop growing up now.
