Visit to Oswego

Cole and I went to Oswego last week to see everyone.  It was wonderful!  We went to Rudy's and Bev's and threw rocks, which Cole loved!  Cole also helped Papi in the garage - sort of!  It was wonderful to see Dad, he is looking better every day!  Cole also learned how to say "Nate"!  Uncle Nate was very proud!  We miss you!

Easter!

Cole loved his easter basket, and he also got new jammies, as you can see!  Superman!  We had a great dinner with Grammie, and I made my traditional Key Lime pie!  Yum!  It was a cold and windy day, but at least it was sunny!  

Golfer!

Rob has been teaching Cole how to golf since he was about 6 months old.  He bought him a kids Nike wedge, and Cole teethed on it until he could stand and start swinging it!  Recently, Rob got Cole the new kids set of Tiger Nike red clubs!  It is the only thing Cole wants to do when we go outside!  He can say golf club and golf ball, and he is REALLY good at swinging!  He knows how to square up the club, and he hits it every time!  He and Rob love to watch the golf channel together, and this morning Cole learned how to say "Tiger"!  I think Cole deserves a trip to the driving range with Daddy!  Cole's favorite word to say is "ball".  He points them out wherever we go, baseball, basket ball, golf ball, soccer ball!  He won't stop saying it until you notice it too!  I have a sports nut on my hands already!

Soccer Tots

We decided to take Cole for a trial class today to try out soccer tots.  It was really fun, and I think Cole is going to like it.  The next session starts in a few weeks, so he will be even more ready then.  I think this will be a good thing when the baby gets here that Rob and Cole can do together.  They run an obstacle course, learn stretching, kick into the goal, do coordination drills etc.  It was really cool and it will get Cole interacting with other kids a little more!

Pregnant Photos

Wow does time fly lately!  As of today I am 29 weeks pregnant!  Considering I had Cole at 38 weeks, that does not give us too much time left before Allison is here!  A few weeks ago I did a "photo shoot" for a great maternity boutique in Saratoga.  It was a lot of fun, and now I have some cool pics to remember my pregnancy with!  Go to www.saratogahautemama.com, click on "shop now" and look through the clothes, I got to "model" a lot of outfits!  The owner is very nice and she has great marketing sense.  She only uses her customers for her modeling, and she has great logos and emails etc.  So fun!

almost a year and a half!

I can't believe how fast the time has gone by - Cole will be 18 months on March 18th!  He is getting to be such a big boy!  He can say lots of words, he knows most of his body parts and can make several animal noises too!  He can run, climb and ride on toys and he eats really well with a fork or a spoon!  It is amazing to me how much kids really grow in their first few years!  He is also a very loving boy, he loves to give hugs and kisses all the time - he can blow kisses too!  Happy almost year and a half to my sweet boy!

Kitchen fun

Whenever we visit friend's homes, Cole always gravitates towards their play kitchens, so I decided to get him one.  I thought it may help me make dinner a little easier too.  Cole was so excited!  Grammie came over to help me put it together, and boy did I need it!  I was out of breath putting that thing together - thank goodness for a power drill!  They don't make it easy that's for sure!  Cole plays with it constantly!  Rob okayed the purchase because it has a grill attached!  It makes frying noises too!  I'd say this was one of the best toy purchases so far!  Silly boy, he loves to make cheesy faces at the camera!
