Cole: 6 Month Update

{ Cole at 4 weeks old. About 2 pounds}

Coley bear just turned 6 months old on April 24, 2016! 

{Cole's First Christmas! 4 weeks old and about 2 pounds}

He's such a smart little booger, and we couldn't love him more!

We are loving being parents, and I am SO glad that we decided to have Cole first before having any 'human' babies ;) 

Cole has taught us SO much about parenting, love, and responsibility. 

He's a total sweetheart, smiles all the time, and loves everyone and everything!

So far Cole is VERY well trained. 

He knows: 

Sit

Stay

Wait

Look At Me

High Five

Shake {and shake the other hand}

Down

Leave It

Jump

Speak

Be Quiet

Come

Take It

I have to say. I was DETERMINED to have the most well behaved dog, because I didn't want our dog to wreak havoc on our home. 

And Cole has been PERFECT! We honestly don't know what we did before him. 

Right now he is 32.4 pounds, and is much smaller than the rest of his litter mates. 

We call him Poodle Butt, because the hair on his tushy is complete poodle curl. But the rest of him is just wacky hair ;) And we love that about him! 

He takes around 3 naps a day, and if you run 2 miles with him, he will sleep so well! 

He is crate trained {yay!} and loves his room. 

Right now we are working on training him to sleep out in the house during the night without coming up on our bed {not that he's not allowed, but he takes up a lot of space ;) }

He is 100% sweetness, and we've gotten several offers on people wanting to take him home {if you can believe that!}

We will decline those offers always because you are ours forever Cole! 

We love you Coley bear! More than you will ever know!

And now be prepared for a TON of pics!

{When Cole gets hot, he loves to be right at the air conditioner. This usually happens right as we step in the door from a run. So he goes straight to the AC and waits until someone will come by and hold him up to it. He is so funny! What a personality our baby has! He is 6 months and 10 days here and is about 33 pounds!}
