Upgrades



I know it shouldn't come as a big surprise or anything, but Cole is totally growing! He's getting bigger and fatter, and slowly learning things like eye contact and how to use his hands (kinda). We're trying to teach him hugs and the cabbage patch.

Physically, one of the things that is fun for us to see is that he's growing eyelashes and eyebrows. They weren't really there before, and now he's a doe eyed boy!



Cute.

As the weather gets better and Cole grows older, we're starting to venture out into the world with him, step by step. Kate takes him to Whole Foods and we've taken him to exciting places like breakfast and pizza joints. No photos of that, but trust us, it's the truth.

We're also trying to teach him to read, and so far he's starting to grasp looking at pages. It's a start!




I know you can't believe it, but we have a bunch of photos of him doing random stuff.







And I know that this is like, the most clichéd baby picture on earth, but I like to post it to show how big his hands are getting as a barometer for his overall growth.



Look at that! He's at two whole knuckles now! Remember when his hands were no bigger than my fingernail?

Nuts.
