Cole is growing, growing, growing. He eats a LOT of food lately. Usually 2-3 plates before he is finished. He's obsessed with mashed carrots and bananas, and Mom usually has to sneak eating carrots so he doesn't try to take hers. He asks to take Ralphie for a walk everyday after naptime, and loves commenting on what's going on in the world.

His speech is making great gains, although he still needs a translator most of the time. He is an all-around happy guy. He loves flirting with all ladies, giving hugs and kisses, imitating, and showing off that cute grin.

Happy birthday, Cheeks! We love you!
