All Night Long

 Cole slept! Cole slept through the night! Cole slept all night long!
Last night girlfriend channeled Lionel and had a sleep party in her crib.

Wedding Season

With longer days and warmer nights, it's safe to say wedding season is in full swing! While this often means making travel plans, buying gifts, and hunting for outfits, this year it just means lots of visitors passing through Memphis. In the last week we've been visited by three of our favorite couples on their way to or from weddings. I'm sure our friends would have popped in anyway, but Cole certainly helps draw people into the house. I mean, lets be real, no one wanted a picture with Peter or me but everyone wanted a picture with baby girl.

Cole :: 3 months

One year ago today, I learned that I could transfer six credit hours from the University of Memphis to Vanderbilt.

So I did.

Which allowed me to move home after my summer classes. 

Prompting our attempt to grow our family.

Which we did

What a difference a year makes!

In the last month our little princess has started to reveal so much of her personality! She loves bath time and her play mat. She can't stand a dirty diaper. And she loves her freedom, Cole isn't content to be confined in a baby carrier or car seat (or swaddle, but we've known that since Week 2). She's not much of a daytime sleeper and she's very active. Rarely does baby girl stay still. Cole has established herself as a thumb-sucking paci-hater. She also has a whole lot of sticktoitiveness in her personality which I imagine, in time, will serve her well.

In the last month, Cole's firsts included her first plane ride, first day trip, and first time with a babysitter.  We traveled to Baltimore where she met tons of loving friends and family. And to Nashville to attended Vanderbilt graduation. I've started working part-time so Cole gets to hang out with sweet Miss Clare every week.

Last month we transitioned Cole into cloth diapers. I love them! Cole loves them! And not buying diapers all of the time is amazing.  Oh, and just last week I packed up two containers of clothes that Cole has out grown. Now we're slowly transitioning into her 3-6 month clothes. It's hard to believe.
