Bubbles!

When Cole had his tubes put in his ears 4 weeks ago, he had about a 3 word vocabulary that consisted of mama, dada and yeah! Now that he can hear, he seems to be learning new words all the time, and he is getting really good at repeating words that we say to him. When he took his bath last night we added some bubbles to the water. He loved them, and he would even say "bubble".

A clean house is a happy house...

This picture was taken this past weekend at Scott's mom's house, and it cracks us up. This vacuum was a gift for Cole's first birthday from his Uncle Chris, and he loves it! Vacuuming has become one of his favorite things to do, and he knows exactly how it works. In fact, he loves it so much that every time Scott vacuums he has to hold Cole the entire time. The only guess that we have is that he likes to imitate the things that he sees us do, and he doesn't comprehend yet that these things aren't fun...

Rub a Dub Dub...

We have been trying to work with Cole lately to take a bath all by himself, but he always gets freaked out about the time that you pour water on his head. Sooooooo....every time Cole takes a bath, one of us ends up in the tub with him, lol. He seems to do fine like that, and he loves the water and all of his toys!

Happy Valentine's Day!

This is Cole getting ready to go to school on Valentine's Day. I'm not sure if you can read his shirt very clearly, but it says "I stole Mommy's heart".

So many books...

One of Cole's favorite things to do right now is reading his books, and since we found him an Elmo loveseat, he now has a favorite place to sit and read them.

Welcome to our blog!

Hi everyone,
Since Scott and I have a lot of family and friends who live out of town, we are taking a cue from many of our local friends and starting a blog about our family. If you really read between those lines, you will see that we are starting a blog about Cole, and every now and then we will throw something in there about Scott and I :).
Cole is growing so quickly, and is changing and learning new things every day. We know that there are lots of people who would like to be able to see him more and know what he is doing, so here goes!
