Cole is 9 months old

(yes, if you are curious I’m backdating this post… I wanted to make it on Cole’s actual 9 month birthday, but life got in the way… as it usually does)

I don’t know how many times I heard it, but nearly every parent we know told us to cherish the first year with out new baby boy because it will go by so quickly. Of course we were thinking “sure it will”… the soon-to-be newly minted parents could slow down time and make sure that we spent as much of it with him as we could. Fast forward nearly a year (a few months before Cole was born until now) and poof. You have two tired, but happy, parents who can’t believe that their little boy is now 9 months old. It’s crazy how fast time goes by. We’re already starting to plan the logistics of his one year old parties (yes, parties… one in Texas and one in Pennsylvania). Yikes! In the meantime we’ll enjoy the next 3 months as Cole continues to babble, smile, and crawl (walk?) his way into everyone’s hearts.

He makes some of the funniest faces. He is definitely my kid
