LaVernius

October 5, 2010
I'm not sure why I always say "Cole" on this thing... most of the time the kid gets called "LaVernius" by Jeff or "Fernius" for short by Pearl. My sister calls him "Cole-bear" and my grandparents "the man child." I'm pretty sure I'm the only person who calls him Cole. Ok, so I'll admit it's slipped a couple of times and the poor kid has been called "Pearl." Sheesh, I'm lame.

But no matter what he's called, he has got to be the most adorable thing I've ever seen! I am in total awe that this handsome, little boy is all mine! He is such a good little boy. It was really rough for awhile but he is oh, so good! We drag him all over the place and he enjoys every minute of it. Cole is getting so big too. He's wearing size 6 months clothing. He rolls all over the place, from one side of the room to the other. He can scoot across the room and his crib. Cole grabs at everything from his toys to my earrings and hair. He loves to give me smooches and at times it feels like a slobbery make-out session with that kid. He grabs my mouth and squeals with delight. He giggles. He laughs and squeals at us. He bites and chews on everything. He goes "oh oh oh." grunts, toots a lot, and loves bath time. His latest trick is trying to sit up... in the tub, on the couch, anywhere. He grabs your fingers to stand himself up then proceeds to buckle his knees to bounce up and down. He blows raspberries at you and loves to have you blow raspberries on his belly and the inside of his chubby legs. He's so cute, I might forgive him for waking up at 3 a.m. for the past two weeks.... might.

He is all boy! And he's all mine!
