1st day of Pre-K

Mr. Cole is just growing up too fast. He is so excited to be back in Miss Vicki and Miss Wendy's class as a Busy Bee this year. He had a perfect first day!

Beach weekend

Sandcastles. Donuts. Never ending Monopoly games. Early morning beach walks with coffee. Perfect beach weekend.

I am 9 months old today

 

 

I can wave

I am crawling

I loooooove my brother

I drink from a sippy cup

I like to go swimming and a rock a bikini

I just learned how to give high fives

I am very verbal, and loud!

I am 8 months old today

I have a signature nose scrunch

I sleep from 7 to 6

I am trying so hard to crawl

I love it when my brother pulls me up to standing and hugs me

I join Daddy for runs in the morning in the jogging stroller

I have liked every food I've tried so far

I say "ma ma" and "da da" all day long

I tell you, these two are getting more and more bonded each day. They are starting to "play" together and Cole has a hard time waiting for her to get up from naps because he says he misses her. It brings tears to my eyes that our little baby is already 8 months old and getting so close to being mobile. It's going too fast!

Swimming

Cole was terrified to start swim lessons this summer. So, like any good Mom, I just didn't tell him what were doing on his first day. He had a moment of panic and didn't want to go but as soon as the teacher called him over he let go of his fears and is having a blast. Here are a couple of videos I took to show to Jeff.

And here he is at the outdoor pool with his friends Hannah and Danica. He has already declared his love for Hannah and tells me daily that he plans to marry her. When I ask him what it means to be married he says, "to be really good friends".

Preschool graduation

Cole graduated from his first year of preschool last week, he's moving on from the Terrific Turtles class to the Busy Bee's next year. He's had such a wonderful year at Noah's Ark Preschool, we were so impressed with his teachers Miss Vicki and Miss Wendy. Hard to believe he only has one more year of preschool until Kindergarten!
