Cole 11 Months

Jenn and I commented when Cole turned 11 months old, that not a lot had changed. And its true, there haven't been a ton of changes in the past month. I wrote last month about his teeth, and we do have some development there. One day we noticed he had two HUGE mounds in the back of his mouth, on the bottom. He's working on pushing out two molars right now, and at times is in considerable pain. Poor little guy.

Cole's personality is still the same, happy go lucky. I think he's in love with our pots and pans. I don't know its the red color, or the fact that they are always there waiting for him, but he's clearly in love. If you put him down on the ground, he immediately crawls toward the kitchen and gets out the pots and pans.

We've been working with him on trying to walk, but that hasn't taken hold to well with him. Sometimes he'll take a step with great assistance, but usually he's content to simply crawl where he wants to go. The crazy part is that when Abbi was his age, she was walking at this point.

Cole really does seem to enjoy playing alone. He seems very content to play with Abbi's toys that are laying around, or his own toys. He has a penchant for eating cardboard, so we are ever vigilant to ensure that he doesn't do that to much. But its almost as if he'd prefer to play alone. Another major difference between Cole and Abbi.

Jenn and I are eagerly looking forward to and planning Cole's first birthday celebration. One thing I'm sure of is that boy will devour his cake, and I can't wait to see it happen!
