2 months









Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry it has taken me so long to update this. So I will just make points about whats been going on:
1. We moved in with my parents b/c we lost our condo to my uncle so it worked out so we can save money.
2. Cole is now 10 weeks old on Tuesday and weights 11 lbs 8 oz and is 22 1/2 inches
3. I take tons of pictures of him because he is so cute, no matter what he is doing
4. We have had a couple of accidents. One in the picture and, he pooped all over me Sunday night, just dripped out of the side of his diaper, which brings me to a question...What is the best way to get it out of clothes? CodiLynn said Ivory soap which works great. Any other ideas too, or any diaper suggestions to get. I am going to try a cloth diaper because Coren said with her son Oscar poop doesnt comes out of the diaper. Any comments?
5. He took his first camping trip and did AMAZING! He slept 6 hours straight underneath the stars in his Mose's basket.
6. He went to his first football game, Allen vs. Wylie, last Friday. Allen won. He did good except he was so tired and it was hard for him to sleep. And Zach, mom said Xander is liking Twizzlers. She told us on Saturday and Cole was holding Twizzlers at the game so we had to take a picture.
7. He went swimming for the first time and I think it was too cold for him b/c he cried a lot of the time, until I was bouncing him up and down and held him outward so he could see everyone.

And Cole is always having his fist up by his face, its so cute!
I need help on how to organize the pictures and write underneath them!

He really is a cutie! You can never take too many pictures of your babies! I can't believe he's already been camping...you're much braver than me, and I'm not much of a camper. Sounds like he liked it though. Oh man, as far as poop explosions go, I've found that regular dish soap works pretty good. I've always used Huggies diapers and I like them, but I think no matter what kind you use, you're going to get the occasional leak. I think it depends more on how the baby is positioned at the time than the kind of diaper. Good luck with that! Keep the pictures coming!

SO cute!! His cheeks are getting chubby!! I want to pinch them. As far as poop, Pampers were the only option for us. And I just rinsed out the poop with water and put spray and wash on it and I've not had a problem. Did you see the blogger playdate on the 26th?? Hopefully you can come!!

Yeah, I am so glad he is doing well. He looks like Elliot in most of those pictures, but in one he looks just like you. Dark brown eyes and it looks like brown hair. Is it still blonde? He is getting to do more things than we do, thats not fair.

I'm rachels friend.

so after 2 kids, i could not live with out Oxyclean. It gets out EVERYTHING.

Anything with a stain, you name it, pen marks, blood, poop, spit-up, it's gone. and no special treatment,like leaving it to soak, or putting it on the stain. just put a scoop in with with the wash and your whites will be whiter and colors will be brighter.

love it. good luck
