Cole's new love

Cole has discovered the TV!! He watched Sesame Street today for the first time. I am hoping to use this new found love to my advantage when I need to get things done around the house or with work.

Clover's surgery

Clover had surgery today on her tooth and it all went well. We were all glad to get Clover from the vet, especially Cole.

She was real worn out and not herself at all tonight, but the Vet says she will be better within the next day or so. We have to giver her 4 different medications, so that is difficult with the surgery being in her mouth. Cole is having a hard time leaving her alone, so we have had to separate them.

Cole's 1 year pictures

Below are Cole's 1 year pictures. He didnt want to hold still for these, so we had to be fast in making him smile and snaping the pictures. They turned out cute, just more work for Mom and Dad.

Cole is 1

I can not believe it, Cole is 1 year old!!!! How did my baby get so big so fast. His first Birthdya was a blast. We started the day with presents at home. He loved toy dog and tent!! He was so excited to come into the living room and just see everything sitting there. The face was priceless. After gifts at the house, we headed to get his haircut and then of to take cookies to the NICU nurses at the hospital. It was great to see the nurses that were there for him when he was born in such a rough way. After naps, we did dinner and cake here. What a wonderful day we had on July 9, 2010

We got Cole his first haircut on his birthday. It was much needed. He did great! Very interested, but sat as nice as I had even seen him sit.

Saturday July 10 we had his B-day Party at Blue Rock Park. It was PERFECT weather. We had such a geat time. Cole wanted nothing to do with the cake, but everyone else loved the cake. He got so many great items and it was a wonderful time with friends and family.

Cole's 1st 4th of July!!!!

Cole finally got to go to his first 4th of July (since he was all warm and cozy inside me still last year). He had a BLAST!!! He loved running around Wooded Glen, climbing the steps, beig outside, the food, ice cream and the Bounce House. We kept him up for the Fireworks, but after 2 large ones he had enough, so we put him to bed. Hopefully next year he will like the fireworks. Below are some pictures from the great day!!

Beautiful Beach Pictures

For some reason Cole woke up at 4:30am the last two days of vacation. It was not fun, however, I got the below GREAT pictures on the beach during Sunrise. He had such a wonderful time and these pictures as so sweet!!

Destin Vacation

The end if June we went to Destin Florida for a family vacation!! It was Me, Nate, Cole, Neetie, Paw Paw, Chad, Amy Logan and Avery! What a fun time :) There were a lot of 1st things for Cole on this trip. it was hisa first flight, his first summer vacation, first time to the ocean and beach as well as the first time away from home for a week. He had a blast. He is such a water bug and wanted to be in the water ALL THE TIME!

It rained 4 days of our trip, so we had to do some inside activites as well. Cole LOVES to be with Logan and Avery Grace. He just smiles whenever he sees them. No matter where there were, he wanted to be right with them. It is so cute to see the three of them together and we have a feeling that Cole and Avery may cause some trouble as Cole gets older.

Below are some pictures from our trip!!
