Let's get everyone up date. Cole is now 20 months old, and teetering on the verge of being able to talk. He babbles, and every 5th word is intelligible. John and I can more or less tell what he's trying to say by paying attention to where he's looking or pointing. There have been a lot of tantrums lately, mainly born of frustration. We can't get mad, though, because they're so funny. He throws his entire body on the floor - arms and legs out. then curls one leg behind him. It's the strangest thing, and something as simple as not being allowed to hold a baby bottle can set him off. He's getting so fun. He really enjoys pretend (talking on the phone, or playing in his Little Tykes house), and he can't get enought of the dogs. Especially when they bark. he thinks it's hysterical!
He does love his little brother though. He can't give him enough "hugs". He especially loves to wkae him up when ever he's napping by screaming as loud as he can as close as he can..
