Finger!

Had to post this photo of Cole from the other day. After dressing him in his airplane shirt and Christmas flannel pants (and hiking them up before putting on the snowsuit), it became a little obvious that he was dressed like somebody's crotchety elderly uncle. Too funny...

Cole has discovered a new favourite thing in the past few days: FINGER! He loves pointing with one finger - not at things particularly, but just pointing his finger in general... I point back to him and tell him 'finger' which he finds amazingly hilarious. And he laughs like a crazy person when we play dancing finger, a character who pokes through the holes in the back of the dining room chairs and says "woggle, woggle, woggle". Loves it.

As you can see from these shots taken yesterday, he finds himself quite amusing...

We had a great time at Sunset Community Centre on Friday - Cole loves the space to roam, the other kids and all the toys too. I love watching him enjoy himself, playing too and of course catching up with friends. And talk about a steal of a deal - it was free for a baby Cole's age! We actually walked all the way there - to Main & 51st - with Cole napping all the way. The sidewalks became less maintained after 33rd, which was kind of a surprise to me since downtown is just peachy again. There was a fair amount of black ice and chunky frozen sludge to deal with at times. I made myself feel a little better about lazy folks not shoveling their sidewalks by throwing a few well-placed snowballs onto stoops... It was either that or write some notes, but I figured Cole would wake up if I stopped to look for a pen. Is anyone sending around a petition yet about changing the bylaws in Vancouver to enforce residential sidewalk shoveling?

And apparently it's 'naked pictures week' here... I let him roam free once in a while (usually when he escapes the diaper change) and he finds it highly entertaining. So far so good, as far as the carpet goes... ;-)
