Six Months Old

Yes it's true - Cole Allen Hohweiler is six months old! I can hardly believe it! As most of you know, I am not a great blogger but I'm trying to at least keep up with the major milestones so that this can serve as a scrapbook of sorts. So this post is really to Cole someday down the road.

Cole Allen you are six months old today! You are a bouncing baby boy, full of smiles and silliness. You still giggle at your daddy, no matter what he is doing. You think I'm pretty funny sometimes, mostly when I snort like a pig during "Old MacDonald". You love bathtime, mirrors, your jumperoo, tummy time and hanging out with your parents.

You do NOT love laying on your back - you are a big time squirmer! You have just started to notice Abner and Norman and watch them with wonder as they run around the living room - you have even started to giggle when they rough house and play where you can see them. You are friendly to everyone and smile at anyone who will talk and coo at you. You are very interested in the world around you, especially at the grocery store and on walks. We have just started to put you in the big kid stroller so you can sit up and see ahead when we go on walks and you LOVE that! People are amazed that you don't fuss about taking your vitamin or having your nails clipped. I am always surprised at how much you like having your ears cleaned with a Qtip. Your paci is your favorite toy! You play with it, you can grab it and launch it for me to return or chew on it to ease your teething pain. You constantly have it with you and if you don't - T-R-O-U-B-L-E!

You are a joy to us and to your entire extended family and we while it feels unbelievable that you are six months old, it also feels like we have never been without you!
