4 to 11 (+)

Cole has gone from having a mere skimpy 4 teeth to a mouth full of 11+ in the last 2 months. It has been hard work. He has been cranky, sore, tired, snotty and much more but his chompers have finally arrived and everyone is delighted in his growth and development. Speaking of growth and development Cole's speech is finally beginning to bloom.  As a mother I can distinguish several words. He loves to say: no and go. He also says mama, dada, more, some form of please and thanks, cat, dog and door. I think his hearing really held him back but now that he is in good working condition he is moving forward. Cole can also follow most any command we give like: put it on the table, in the trash, get your baby, find a cup, etc. He can also identify some body parts like: nose, mouth, eyes, head, etc.  Here is a pic of some of his new teeth.  I think they make him look so much older. 



Cole still loves to cook and spends lots of time in the play kitchen.  Yesterday he had an unexpected dinner guest, Elizabeth. Cole was delighted and she was privy to his big smile.    He loves the cat and flashes his pearly whites at her whenever possible.
