Cole at 5 months

Cole is already five months old!
Here are some of his latest and greatest:
  • He is still the most content and happy baby I've ever met. What a blessing that he is MY son!
  • Cole is now refusing to take bottles. That little stinker is mommy-dependent, so mommy doesn't go too far for too long. I keep thinking, "it's just for a season."
  • He is officially a thumb-sucker! He found it pretty early on, and is now attached.
  • He found his toes about two weeks ago. I forget about these fun little milestones.
  • He's a big boy (compared to Sam)-now wearing 6-9 month clothes.
  • I have been soaking in more sweet moments than i did with Sam, knowing how fast these little guys grow. My favorite is after his last feeding at night, he falls asleep in my arms. We linger together before i put him in his crib.
  • No one can make him laugh like his big brother...no matter how hard i try.
Sam continues to grow and change as well. However, he is still just as silly! He is in the midst of the "terrible two's," trying to prove that the stereotype is every bit real. It's wearing us out--extremely sanctifying! He continues to love music (playing his guitar, his drums, and singing...i love to hear him sing). I've learned over the last few months that he has a very serious shy streak. When he enters an unfamiliar environment, his little body gets paralyzed. I used to think he was being defiant, but now I am trying to offer patience. How could i forget, Sam is now wearing big boy underpants! I didn't know if we'd make it through the week of potty training, but we survived...barely. Sam also eats up every minute his daddy is home...mommy's boy turned daddy's boy? Nah!
I love that he loves to read his Bibles...
The following is a video of Sam and Cole having some brother time. The second video is for laughs...

Cole is soooo...cute and he is a 'chunk a' munk', too. Love his happy and content smile as Sam entertains him. Sam is growing into a big boy with his 'big boy' self, reading books and ....potty trained. The videos were so funny to watch, we had a big smile on our faces the whole time. We know Sam and Cole are great buddies now, but wait until they are running around together. Enjoy every moment as they grow up so fast. WE love you all so much, and can't wait to see you all soon.

Hug our little guys, Khaki and Papa K

So glad to see a new post! I can't believe Cole is 5 months!! I can relate to everything you discussed in this post. We can break our babies of thumb sucking together and get through the twos together. Love you friend :)
