We've been having a lot of fun with Cole these past few weeks. He started to hold his head up by himself and he's starting to pull himself up when he's laying down. When he's giggling and rambling on; it sounds like he has a smoker's voice. He's a big fat fattie, too. 13+ pounds. I guess that's what happens when you sleep and eat all the time...
 Ashley tried eating dairy again and that didn't work out so well... Cole was miserable and had blood in his stools. Which means it makes it a "real" allergy and not a "sensitivity."
  We took him to the Ear, Nose, and Throat doctor last week to see if he could see anything obstructing his hearing. Besides the pediatrician he is the only one that has actually looked in Cole's ears. Everything looks normal and he wants us back in three months to do some hearing tests that hopefully Cole will be able to interact with.
 Next week we have a GI and cardiologist appointment down at CHOP. This should be our last appointment with our substitute cardiologist and we're hoping for growing PAs!

Below are pictures from our third attempt at getting family shots last week. Each time we went out Cole wasn't very happy. Mainly, because by the time I get home from work, showered, and dinner it's around 8-8:30 and he's usually settling down by then. Luckily, I got home pretty early one day and we got out the door before 7 and had enough day light to catch these before Cole got upset and the sun went down. Both happened simultaneously...
