Recapping the past week

It has been a busy week in the Badger household. Hence the fact that there hasn't been a blog entry since last Tuesday! Here's a recap of what has been going on in our world.

Last Friday Cole and I drove up to Beaverton to visit Kelly and Owen Ward. Owen is just about 5 months. It was so much fun to visit and we look forward to the day when Owen and Cole can play together. They did synchronize their naps, feedings, and diaper changes, though, which was nice! Check out Owen's hat. We definitely need to get one of those for Cole!



Then that night was the Edge holiday party. Cole stayed home with Grandma and Grandpa K while Cory and I went out. It was fun to have a night out and Cole enjoyed his time with his grandparents.

Saturday Grandma and Grandpa Badger came over to visit. We think that Grandpa B may be a Baby Whisperer or something. He has such a way with babies! Cole is alway happy to sit and snuggle with him.

Monday Cole and I spent the morning in Lebanon while the cleaning ladies were at our house. Aunt Lorrie was there, too, so we visited and Cole slept with Grandpa. I'm telling you, Baby Whisperer.

Tuesday we took Cole to Grandma B's Bunko Christmas party at Dixie Green's house. He was a big hit with all of the women!

Wednesday Cole went to school. Well, Grandma K's school. It was fun to meet her coworkers and to be among the buzz of the middle school students.

Yesterday Olivia stopped by on her way home from the coast. She brought Cole the cutest gift for Christmas. Two little dolls that she calls "Hugs." They are just adorable. I'll get a photo of them up on the blog soon.

And today Cole and I went to HP to visit Daddy at work. His work group was hosting a holiday open house so we got to meet several of his coworkers and even got to see one of the Halo rooms.

Lets see, what else can I tell you about Cole these days. He's starting to do a bit better at night. Although he's not sleeping through the night, he's only waking up (for the most part) one or two times. He is starting to "talk" a lot more and is making lots of eye contact. Recently he has been discovering his tongue

and thinks its pretty cool when other people stick their tongues out at him or make raspberry noises. You can tell that his vision is starting to get better as he is really focusing in on things and is becoming more interested in faces. He literally changes very day. Truly amazing.
