Cole One Month, Alexis 20 Months

Cole
Cole turned one month on August 14th.  How did the time go so fast?  He weighs 11lbs and is 22.5inches long.  He gained two pounds in two weeks.  He sleeps 5-7 hours at a time during the night and eats most of the day.  He smiles and laughs.  So far he is not bothered by noises and sleeps through anything. He snores in his sleep.  It is so cute.

Alexis
Alexis is officially a toddler.  She sleeps 11 hours at night and takes a afternoon nap for 2-3 hours.  She has the best laugh...even when she is fake laughing.  She loves to blow bubbles outside and play with her water table. She loves being a big sister and holding Cole.  If he is crying she looks for his pacifier.  She can say so many words and is talking all of the time. She loves singing and watching herself in the mirror or oven door.  She can put on her own shoes and loves being outside. She is also great a throwing a tantrum when she wants something:)  Overall she is such a happy kid.

Here are some pictures over the last month.

 He likes white noise and often falls asleep in the bathroom sitting in his chair.  This has really helped during some late nights.
How cute is this foot:)

 Cole wearing the same outfit Alexis wore.  Of course he was crying and this was the best shot I could get.

 Someone loves her yogurt
 Alexis loves putting things on her head. Today she is wearing yellow bloomers
 Love my family
After a few days at home I really needed to get out of the house so Allen took us for a drive.  Both kids fell asleep.
Chick-fil-A delivered a great meal for free because we had a baby.  They delivered chicken, salad, fruit, cookies and a small gift for both kids.  Everything was so good.  Their cookies are amazing
