First Trip To Disney!

We were brave parents and ventured out to the Happiest Place on Earth yesterday.  We have season passes that were about to expire so we wanted to get in one last visit and to take Cole on his first trip.  He loved all of the action and people.  It was a long day for him and he/we were exhausted by the end, but I think he had a fun time.  He went on two rides and watched a couple of shows.  

Pumpkin butt!

His cute Halloween outfit. 

First ride ever!  He went on the merry go round. 

 

Have to have the ears.

 

And he met some very fun characters.   All in all it was a great day.  

Celebrating His Musical Taste

Happy Anniversary!

We celebrated our 2nd anniversary today with a picnic near the beach at sunset.  The whole family walked down to the beach to enjoy the nice weather and the view.  With a busy work schedule we decided to celebrate a little early.  Cole enjoyed the trees and all of the dogs that were around.  What a great 2nd year this has been!

Just Hanging Around

Hello.  Sorry for not posting for awhile.  We have been playing catch up since our trip our East.  I have to say that Cole was a great traveler.  Didn't phase him at all.  Minimal crying and no major incidents.  Mom and dad are free to travel on NWA again.  :)

Not too much is going on around here.  Cole is enjoying the cooler weather.  He still hasn't figured out how to sleep in his own bed though.  Working on that.  Cole and mom have a special bond right now.  One might say they are attached at the hip.  Dad only gets some play time and then it is back to mommy.  

He has also started the drooling phase and fingers in the mouth phase.  He is attempting to put his whole fist in his mouth.  Many hours of fun doing that.  

Hope everyone is doing well.

He has some pretty funny expressions. 

"Yo, what's up?"  Hanging with Lisa at Mike and Deb's pool.  Mary's college roommate Lisa and her family came up from New York City to visit.  Had a great time catching up.  Their daughter Jillian loved the pool.  Especially the salty taste.

Busy Fall Day

We are having a wonderful trip to Connecticut and Cole is loving every minute.  He has met so many new people and been a champ with all of the attention.  But since his favorite thing is to be held at all times, this is like a dream come true for him.  Yesterday he met his cousins Connor and Aidan for the first time and they all had  a blast playing together. 

In the afternoon we went apple picking and had an absolutely gorgeous Fall day.  These are the days that we really miss in California.

I think we found some new babysitters.

First Plane Ride

We all survived our first plane trip.  We are in Connecticut for a fews days visiting family and this was our first adventure traveling long distance as a family.  I am happy to say we all survived!  Cole was a super good traveler. Minimal crying...which was mainly just when he was tired.  He did great on the take off and landings basically sleeping through them.  But think about it...this was pretty much his ideal day: fed when he wanted, held the whole time and lots of cool lights to look at in the airports.  One happy baby.  And very happy parents.
