At five months, Cole has just returned from his first trip to Gaga and Grandpa's house. He was perfect on the plane and didn't make a peep. Lately I'm finding that as long as Cole is being held, he is happy. As soon as you put him down it's another story. While Brady was happy to lounge in his jumperoo for 30-40 minute stretches, Cole has a maximum of 5 minutes before sounding like he is being tortured. He expects attention and if it's not on him, he demands it. Yesterday he began using consonants in his baby speak and while crying to be held he now yells, "Ni ni niiiiiiiiiiii" in despair. Despite his flair for drama, we'll keep him.
On the eating front, Cole is a major baby food fan. Sweet potatoes are his current favorite but this morning he was reaching for Brady's Cheerios, so maybe not for long.
I love to show Brady baby pictures of himself and ask him who it is- usually he thinks it's Cole. I see a resemblance between the two of them but only in certain photos.
