The stats...

Weight: 20lbs 10oz 17th percentile

Height: 29in 23rd percentile
(somehow he shrunk a half inch from his 9 month appt., so we remeasured, and it was true 29 inches!)

Head: 17th percentile

(I know it is hard to believe, but the RN explained it that he just has a broad forehead...that is why it looks SO BIG!)

Cole, Cole James, Cole-e, Colerson, Bigs, CJB-Cole James Bigs/Biggie, CJBJB (Ella's version of CJB)...just a few of the names that he gets called! He is just the sweetest thing and a great addition to our family. He is a momma's boy through and through, at least for now. He is kinda shy at times and buries his head in your shoulder if he is unsure about something, which just melts your heart. He gives open mouth kisses, blows kisses, waves and claps. He is crawling like a champ and cruising around everything. No 1st steps yet...but they aren't too far away! He has become a VERY pickey eater these days! Pretty much no meat unless is is chicken nuggets in his car seat, limited fruit, LOVES yogurt, will not touch potatoes (crazy kid) and forget it with veggies! To tell you the truth, not really sure that I could name one food other than yogurt that he consistently eats well??!! He has 4 teeth, 2 top 2 bottom. He goes to bed around 8 and is up anywhere from 8-9:30! I know, I am super lucky with great sleepers! He still has his bink (pacifier/binkey)..we're working on it!! He LOVES his sister but is starting to learn to hold his own when she takes toys away. He knows a little sign language...more, milk, please and thank you...he doesn't always use them appropriatly, but if you ask him, he knows!
