Summer Days

After running downstairs for a brief moment and returning upstairs, this is what I saw! My heart skipped a beat! Don't worry, we moved the table away from the window. We're also working on not climbing on furniture..what's with boys and climbing?



Cole loves going "jumping"! We love to meet friends at Jump Zone or Pump It Up for good play (and a fabulous nap afterward).

I can officially admit my lack in dedication to posting on here! I often think about sitting down to tell you what we've been doing or Cole's latest antics, but we've been quite busy the past month! We've been enjoying the pool and playing outside when it hasn't been miserably hot (the irony is right after nap-time is when Cole loves going outside, which is usually the hottest time of day!). Marc and I are both amazed how much Cole is talking and communicating~ his vocabulary seems to grow daily. He doesn't miss a word we say and now Marc and I have to pay particular attention to our word choices :) The photos above help show what we've been up to.

New Pictures

My personal favorite.


Here are the promised pictures from our photo session. We are so happy with them! If you want any information about the photographer, let me know, she's wonderful! She spent over an hour with us and as you might observe, Cole was so serious. He didn't crack many smiles. These truly capture his personality (he does smile though, he's just pretty serious, too).








Here are some pictures from Cole's party! We had a great time, the weather held out (it was supposed to rain and instead, turned out to be very windy). Cole loved eating food we don't normally eat (pizza, juice boxes, cake)- he's still talking about his "monkey party"!

Don't worry, we didn't let him eat his whole cake.

Friends from the neighborhood. We couldn't go to the park without sidewalk chalk!

Love my new truck Daddy got me! By the end of the party, Cole was riding in the truck and everyone had to take turns pushing him around. He took a 3 hour nap that day.


Like the monkey cake? We thought it turned out pretty cute, it tasted very dreamy (Mommy's favorite, almond, yumm).
