So, I have been inspired by many friends who have pointed out that you don't have to do pictures every time in order to update the blog. So, here is just a short and simple story to continue our obsession with our son! Cole's new favorite game is steam-roller. He can't quite say it yet, but he is trying. He will start out on one side of the room and come rolling towards me (or dad) giggling like crazy, when he gets to you, he stops and waits for you to help roll him on top of you and then he continues rolling to the other side of the room, for a variation, we will hold on to him and roll with him, working hard not to squash him, which the closer he comes to getting sqashed, the more he will laugh. This has now become part of our bedtime routine, I don't think it is as effective in calming him as a nice book, but we go for it anyways, we can't resist the giggle.
The other game he started this morning is what we now call, "possum." We found him laying ever so still in his crib, sideways of course, and under his pillow (except for his feet.) He lays still until he knows we are going to grab the pillow and then he giggles and kicks. When we pull the pillow away and say "Boo" he just cracks up. Then he will grab the pillow again and wrap his arms and legs around it and hide under it and just laugh. If we walk out, or pretend to, he will lay real still until he hears us come back, and then he will giggle again.
It's hard to believe this is the same kid that stayed awake screaming all night and was fussy all day when he was a baby!
