Cole's birth announcement

Our first overnight trip

We went to the Iowa/Illinois boys basketball game last night. We decided to get a hotel room and stay the night, since it was a late game. I love this picture of Justin and Cole at the hotel before the game. We went down after the game to take pics. Cole did really well during the game!

We got to meet 5 of the players and take pics with them. As you can see Cole was starting to get hungry, so Justin is feeding him in the pictures.

This guy's last name is Cole, so we wanted a pic with him.

Justin thought it would be a great idea to go swimming. However we didn't have any swimsuits. We went to wal-mart, but they didn't have any either. So, we just got some shorts and shirts to wear. We got swim diapers, which start at 16 lbs and were a little big, but oh well. Luckily no one else was in the pool to see us. The pool was too cool for Cole, so we went in the hot tub, which fortunately wasn't hot.

Laughing at daddy after we got changed from swimming.

We had a good first night away. I was surprised on how well Cole did.

ONE MONTH

We went to Build-a-Bear last week and made a bear for Cole for Valentine's Day! We are going to take his picture with it every month to watch him grow!

A little smile

This is a little smile. Cole and I have had a good week this week. He slept 5 hours straight for 3 nights in a row. We made it to church this week. He slept the whole time.

More pics

I wasn't good about putting pregnant pics up, so I am trying to be better about putting up pics of Cole. He is cuter to look at anyway!

My precious baby boy

2 weeks

I took Cole to his 2 week check-up today. He weighs 9 lb. 11 oz. and is 22 1/2 in. It was an eventful trip. First we had to wait 45 min. in the waiting room. Then Cole peed all over the room when the nurse weighed him. The doctor said he is doing wonderful! Now I just wish I was doing as wonderful... I just wish I wasn't so sore!!
