My growing pains are more like the opposite actually, decreasing size pains :) The treadmill is awesome but is also a very clear indicator of just how out of shape I am! My hip flexor was giving me trouble after just walking under a mile! Sad, but good to see that I'm not too overweight even being that out of shape I guess. I'll be just walking until I get my new shoes - I was really prone to injury my last season at Fox so I want to make sure I don't kill myself on workouts that are harder than what my knees can handle.
Cole is also going through some growing pains... teeth! This morning it was incredibly obvious that he is teething. The last couple weeks his drool really picked up, but this morning his gums were soft, swollen and I think I might even be able to feel a tooth really close to coming out! He's super cranky, chewing on everything and doesn't want to eat much at a time but eating often. I remember Asher being the same way - I'm sure it doesn't feel great sucking on a bottle when your gums are killing you.
I prayed throughout the whole pregnancy that Cole would be a fast teether... Asher was so slow... still is actually! It takes Asher over 2 months to go from teething to feeling the teeth and then usually another month to actually SEE the teeth! I'll keep you posted and hopefully I'll have a photo of at least 1 tooth within a week or so... my sanity may depend on it :)
Patience sure does not come naturally to me, which makes me sometimes wonder why I ever thought I could be a good mom. Hopefully I'm better at some of the other areas and ages of parenting! I love Asher's age now, he's more verbal and very silly and usually really easy to take with my almost anywhere. I know that next Christmas will be a huge turning point with having 2 boys... Cole will be almost 15 months and will be eating mostly "big people" food, walking around easily and I'm sure they'll both be acting incredibly silly together. Should be good times!!! I'm looking forward to it... too bad I can't stall time at that point for a while :) Stay tuned for updates!

Ah...patience--it never comes quickly enough!
If all mom's were as loving and caring as you the children of the world would be truly blessed--so would their grandparents!
