I just realized that I only remember to write on here when Coley gets more teeth. He is a happy little kid by nature, but he is a sure lot happier when his teeth finally break through. His top left tooth finally broke through, that makes 7 total; 4 on the top and 3 on the bottom. He isn’t walking by himself yet, but he can walk holding one hand and he is standing for up to 5 seconds at a time by himself. He wears 12 month clothes and says “dada”, “mama”, “baba”, and “nana”. He gets excited and will race over to his mom. He loves his rocking motorcycle that he got for Christmas and will shake it to rock it. His feet don’t touch, but he can get off it by himself anyway.

Our house is almost finished. They did the rock exterior last week and are working on the stucco and preparing to pour the driveway this week. Inside we are just waiting for the final coat of paint and the appliances, as the carpet was installed last week. We are looking to close on February 13th – my dad’s birthday.

Coley’s second tooth on the bottom left broke through this morning. That makes a total of 6 teeth, 3 top and 3 bottom. He’s still chewing on everything – including the carpet on the stairs as he goes up them (strange – I know) – so we are still expecting more teeth soon. Grandma Bambi got him to stand for a few seconds by himself. Usually when he realizes he is standing, he drops to the ground, or reaches for the nearest thing to hold on to.

Our house is painted and they are working on the exterior. Still looking at closing sometime in February.
