Catching up on what's new with Coleman!

Oh boy there has been a lot going on with us the last couple of weeks!! We have been having so much fun, mom is having a hard time keeping up. She is sorry there hasn't been any new pics lately but we will make up for it this week! So here is what is new with me:

Grammie and Poppy C. have been here visiting for the last 10 days. They go home on Saturday and I am already sad about it! In less than two weeks I have wrapped them around my little finger. Being spoiled is so fun.

Mom turned 30--WOW! I stayed home with Grammie and Poppy while mommy and daddy went out with their friends. I bet my party at home was more fun though!

The Easter Bunny came and brought me an Elmo basket with all kinds of goodies. Easter is great!

My sixth tooth has broken through--mom is wondering when my little mouth is ever going to get a break.

Since I started crawling I decided to add pulling myself up on everything and cruising to the mix. I love pulling myself up on the ottoman and side stepping around it. Baby proofing has gone to a new level at our house. There is nothing fun to pull down anymore. Boo-hoo.

AND...

I officially hate my diaper being changed. Mom thinks this stage is super fun.

Here are a couple of pictures of me standing like a big boy (first time I pulled myself up in the pack-n-play--aka the toy pit). I love the one of me and Poppy. He let me play with his shaving cream!

Picking oranges

We played in the backyard last week and I got to pick some oranges off our trees. We have lemon, limes and oranges growing on trees right outside our door! The fruit was fun to play with but the rocks on the ground were even better. I have a giant "rock" box to play in when I get older!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Hope you are wearing green! The Leprechaun brought me three new top teeth--I love showing them off.

Playtime with Nolan

I got to play with my friend Nolan last week...without mommy! She had a doctor's appointment so Nolan's mommy said I could play with them for awhile. It was so fun, I got to play with all kinds of new toys and have lunch at their house. It was my first time away and I didn't even cry--well maybe once when my yogurt was gone but I do that everyday. I was sure excited to see mommy when she came back though. I can't wait to do it again!

Look at me!

8 Months Old

Well the days of me just laying by my lizard friend are over! Mom wanted me to lay nicely beside him and I wanted to wrestle! So we compromised and agreed that if I sat beside him I could play with the sign. I think that was a pretty good deal! This has been a big month for me. Here's what's new:

*I am eating three meals a day (with a few cereal puffs in between)

* loving to drink water

*got my first cold (and then some)

*I have three new teeth (top two front and one on the left side) and one more popping through

*pulling myself up on everything

*Daddy lowered my crib because I could stand up in it!

*crawling!

*getting pretty upset when I can't play with what I want!! Mom and dad love this one!

On your mark, Get set, GO!!

The moment we have all been waiting for...sorry the camera work isn't the best. I had to move quickly to capture C-man!!

My first cold and a little more...

It's been a rough week here at the Harger House. I got my first cough and runny nose last Friday, but because I was teething the doctors weren't quite sure if I needed to come visit them. Well by Monday I didn't get any better so off to the doctor's office I went. It turns out I have bronchiolitis (basically bronchitis for babies), but we caught it really early and breathing treatments should help. I am doing better but I have to do the treatments every six hours. That is why I have that funny mask on in the picture. So far they haven't been that bad and if you put me in my bouncy seat I barely make a peep! Mom and dad said I have been a trooper. It's rough stuff being a baby! Hopefully by Monday I will be done with all of this. We'll keep you updated.

Got it!

This is a fun toy I have been playing with the last couple of weeks. It is called the ball popper, it blows air and makes colorful balls pop everywhere (hence the name!) while playing all kinds of crazy music. I sit and wait for the balls and catch them as they come up. I love to make a pile of them in my lap. Mom thinks I am pretty advanced, but aren't moms supposed to think that?!

Look closely...you can see my bottom teeth along with a new top one! I have two more up there waiting to pop through any second.

The Ball Pit

I fell in love with the ball pit at "My Gym" (where I have gymnastics class) so we decided to make one at home. It looks like Luci and George love it too!

To my Poppy C. and Papa Bear

Grandpa digs me! (That's what my shirt says if you can't see it.)

...and I dig toys!

Up to no good!

Mom sat me down with all these fun toys and books but that just wasn't good enough for me. I was ready for an adventure! I scooted (backwards) away from my play area, off the rug and probably would have kept going but that silly couch stopped me. I actually got stuck here and this is how mom found me. I can't wait until I can go forwards, think of all the fun I will have then!

Valentine's dinner

Just getting ready to chow down on some fruit and veggies. Maybe next year some chocolate can be added to the menu...
