This week

Cole has had a fever off and on all week. We're pretty sure he's teething because the drool is out of control and he seems to have no other symptoms. Cole has never just laid down and gone to sleep for a nap, but he must be tired because he did just that a couple times this weekend.


And for the next one he combed onto the couch all by himself so he could be with Mr. Frog and the soft blankets.


But through the pain he still had some happy moments.



And yesterday he woke up without a fever so we went to eat at our fave sushi place, Nhinja. Cole loves posing in cardboard cutouts. Here's cole the ninja!

Park Time

Saturday we took Cole to the park and he had a blast! He was very intrigued by all the children and enjoyed going down the slide.



He really liked this little girl and followed her around for a bit.



Here he is doing some walking around




And with the water fountain




Ready for the big slide!

This Weekend

Here's the handsome guy enjoying a bean and cheese burrito, yumm!

And here's Ryan and Cole enjoying the game today in their new jerseys!

Christmas

This Christmas was little bit more exciting for Cole.  Instead of sleeping through opening presents he helped open presents!  But before Christmas we headed to meet Santa and Mrs Claus for breakfast!

 (please ignore the snot, otherwise, this is a great pic)

 Cole was more impressed with our waiter than with Santa.  Oh well, at least they had good breakfast.  Here's all our presents Christmas morning.  We may have gotten a little carried away with the basketball goal.  Fortunately Elmo & Ryan like it, so surely it will be a success as Cole gets bigger.

 And every baby needs a wooden nail set to practice their hammering skills!

Cole's First Birthday!!

We had so much fun at Cole's birthday party!  We did a monster theme!  Check out the decorations!

Here's the bday boy enjoying the bday song!

Eating Cake

Cutie Patootie

Check out this handsome guy enjoying his first pbj, I'd call it a major success. Very little ended up on the floor and he made 'mmmm' sounds the whole time he ate it!


And here he is enjoying some chicken spaghetti. He likes to suck all the cheese off and then pull the noodles out of his mouth

Brushing teeth

Cole LOVES brushing his teeth. Yesterday morning I let him work on his teeth for about ten minutes and then finally took the brush away. He was not a happy camper! Here he is enjoying some good teeth brushing time!
