Almost 6 weeks old!

Well, Cole is almost 6 weeks old now. I can't believe how time is flying! And he is ALREADY out of most of his 0-3 month clothes. Here is one of my favorite shirts on him early last week:

We went and voted together. He slept through the experience, but I thought it was so cool that he was present at such a historical election. Here is Cole with the ballot... you can see his complete disinterest.

We went to this local park a couple of weeks ago. It's called Maymont. There is a mansion on the grounds, and a child's petting zoo, lots of paths and walkways. It's really pretty! I didn't remember how hilly it was. We certainly got a workout. At some points, we had to take Cole out of his stroller and I carried him while Troy had to practically carry the stroller up steps. It was a pain, but it was SO MUCH fun to get out. Troy decided that Cole REALLY wanted to pose with a statue of three ladies outside of the mansion. Some people walked by and asked where we found our puppy (he is wearing his dalmation hat).

Cole is up to over 11 pounds now. I couldn't believe it when we were at the doc on Monday and he was exactly 11 pounds. He is growing so quickly. He has started sleeping for longer stretches, he even slept through the night last Thursday night. I woke up at 4AM, and checked on him. It was nerve wracking! He woke up to feed around 5 or 6, and then went back to sleep till around 9. He is staying awake for most of the day now, and sleeping most of the night (YAY!!!!). Hopefully tonight will go as well, he has been sleeping for most of the day so far!

And now, cute pictures of Cole:

Oh yes, and he is capable of holding his own bottle now!
