Super Bowl- Green Bay style!!

So this year the Super Bowl was a BIG DEAL at the Baughman House. Nate has been a HUGE Packers fan since Junior High, so this was so exciting for him Nate decorated the house and we have Packers everything (plates, forks, napkins, balloons, cake, etc.)

Here is a picture of Cole and I ready for kick off. We had all f Nate's friends over (18 adults and 6 kids). It was a packed house, but we sure had fun and GO PACK GO!!!!

Nate's 33rd Birthday!

February 5th was Nate's Birthday! We celebrated at home on February 3rd because we were heading to Zanesville. Nate and I ate Steaks and Baked Potatoes, then we had Yummy Cheesecake for dessert. Cole loved helping with the candles and opening the presents.

Zanesville was a blast as always. We went to dinner of Friday night for Grandpa Baughman and Nate's B-day then we hung out at the house. As you can see from the picture below, Saturday Cole and Grandpa rode brooms around the house .

Cole thought it was too fun! He was looking for Gran to join in too, but she was fixing monkey. Duncan, the Baughman dog ate monkey's face, so monkey had to have surgery. Monkey no longer has eyes, but is still as lovable.

Hearing Test

Today we had Cole's 3rd hearing test. he has had to get tested every 6 months of his life to make sure the medicine he was on when he was born is not causing hearing loss. We do not notice him having any trouble hearing, but he has to pass the test on all levels before we can stop coming.

Cole did WONDERFUL! He even got a high five from the doctor! It was new one, but she was very familiar with his chart and past test history. He even kept the ear plus in for about 5 minutes, which is 4.5 minutes longer than last time. He heard at the highest level for him by far. He heard at 6,000 (whatever the measurment is). She would like him to hear at the 8,000 level, but couldnt get that test accuratly because he kept moving and was done by the time they got to that level. She said she has NO concerns at all, but would like to see him in 6-12 months to see if she can get him to hear the 8,000 level. She said that if he has hearing loss, it is the higher sounds that it would happen too. She said where he is now is normal for his age.

I also had 2 people tell me how well behaved his was in the waiting room. That was nice to hear as we were there with NO nap today!!

YAY COLE :)

Scarlet Fever

on Saturday January 29th Nate and I noticed a small rash on Cole's face. Sunday morning the rash was mush less, but as the morning went on it got worse and worse. I called the doctor and set an appointment for Monday morning. We gave Cole a bath and I washed everything in his bed, clothes, etc. thinking it may be an allergic reaction to something on his clothes, blakets, etc. Sunday the rash was gone most of the day until that evening when he came back and really red. He didnt sleep great Sunday night, so we headed to the doctor Monday morning.

Monday morning came and it looked bad, we headed to the doctor and the verdict was Scarlet Fever.... I didn't even realize people still go that, I thought it was something only on the Oregon Trail. It is basically Strep with a rash. He has been on antibiotics since yesterday morning and no rash at all today! I hope we are in the home stretch. Bad news is that Nate also has Strep. I am trying to stay healthy, so wish me luck.

Happy 18 months Cole

Cant beleive my Cole Beaners is a year and a half old!! We went to the Doctor today and his new measurments are:

31.2 pounds (98 percentile), 34 3/4 inches long (102 percentile), and head is 19 3/4 inches (97 percentile)

The Doctor said he has meet and passed all 18 month milestones like, stacking objects, using a spoon or fork, climbing steps when holding hands, pointing at things he wants, throwing fits when told "no", follows simple commands, and knows 2 or more body parts. She is NOT concerned at all about his speech. She said an average 18 month old has 6 words. He has that and more. We do have to go back for another hearing test and it will be on February 4th. His next well appoinment is 2 years. He got no shots today and will only get 1 at 2 years unless we are there for a sick visit, then he will get his Hep A booster then. Today was two weeks to early for it, so we have to wait.

We got some great 18 month pictures:

HAPPY 18 MONTH COLE!!!

Christmas 2010

We had a WONDERFUL Christmas. We started the holidays at home on December 23rd with a great dinner and gifts with just me, Nate and Cole.

Cole really enjoyed opening gifts and helping Clover. His favorate gift from us was his Seek and Say and Books.

We then headed to Neetie and Paw Paws on Christmas Eve Morning. We were there all day and spent the night for Santa to arrive on Christmas Morning!!

Cole loved his Weebles Treehouse from Neetie and Paw Paw as well as his Train from Chad, Amy, Logan and Avery.

Our Family picture turnded out pretty great this year!!

Christmas Morning we headed to Zanesville. Cole LOVED feeding the Baby Chicks. He was a little scared about the large chicken's, but had fun in the Chicken Palace. Cole also really liked his activity table, har from Sarah and Monkey in a box from Kristen.

We all had a WONDERFUL holiday season. We are so blessed and Cole sure is spoiled :)
