Merry Christmas!

We wish you all a very Merry Christmas! Today we took Cole to see Santa for the first time. We had so much fun. One of the streets in Sienna has a Santa you can visit. It was done very nicely with a lot of lights. In fact, Cole was more interested in all the lights than Santa. Santa did manage to get a few laughs and a smile from Cole.

Grammy (Grandma Reiter) gave Cole a bear that reads 'Twas the Night Before Christmas. Cole and the bear are almost the same size. So far he seems a little scared of the talking bear. I am enjoying all of Cole's Christmas outfits. The first onsie says 99% nice on the front and 1% Naughty on the bottom.

Snow in Texas

This year we got one evening of snw in Houston. The last time it snowed in Houston was the first year Cory and I were married.

Cole is ready for the snow!

Cole is not the biggest fan of bath time.

Our New Blog!

We will use this blog to post family updates and photos. For those of you that followed Cole's Care Page we hope you will enjoy following Cole's progress and our family photos on this site. Cole had his four month pediatrician appointment today. He got his immunizations and tolerated them like a champ. We are proud to report he is off his feeding tube. He has to be seen on Friday to be sure he is gaining the right amount of weight. Last week Cory picked up a scale from Texas Children's. Turns out we were over feeding Cole with the tube. Consequently he was having lots of reflux and spitting up. Now that we can tell how much he is getting when he nurses he is a much happier baby. On a separate note, we got a new camera. It is on the charger right now. So there will be plenty more pictures of Cole posted soon.



We took this photo of Cole today after his bath. He loves his blue cow towel. Although it might look like a longhorn we assure you it is a blue cow.
