Ring Around The Rosie

Grammie taught Cole how to play Ring Around The Rosie and he now loves to play. Here is a quick glimpse of him playing with Mary. Notice that he takes the falling down part seriously.

He has also learned how to to do some exercises. Hopefully I will capture video of that soon.

Cole at Pretend City

Cole is now old enough to really enjoy his time at Pretend City. There is not a vehicle in the place that he doesn't test out. It is really fun to watch him go from activity to activity.

Coleman Dancing at Pretend City

Showing some moves on the dance floor. He really wanted to share maracas with people.

Disney and Fun

Wanted to post some photos from our trip to Disney. As you can see everyone had a great time. Cole really enjoyed himself.

Testing the piano.

He loves, loves, loves merry-go-rounds.

Happy Crew!

Playing with the giant pumpkin that he could crawl into.

Just his size. He wanted to get in and out of this chair for a good 10 minutes. It was also slippery, which he liked.

Enjoying ketchup. He was absolutely covered. The whole restaurant was watching him. This is the first time he has really taken an interest in ketchup.

We are such proud parents!!! He thinks he is so funny.

Cole enjoying slide at Disney

The month is flying by way too quickly.  Grammie and Papa are having a lot of fun with Cole.  We will post a number of pictures soon.  We have been just enjoying the time too much to be in front of the computer for long.  This week we are expecting rain every day so should have some computer time.

Last week we were able to visit Disney and Cole had a lot of fun.  This was the first time where he really was able to enjoy all of the rides and people.  He still doesn't quite get everything, but he loved just looking at all of the colors and how things work.

As the video shows, he has also mastered the slide.  There was an area for young kids and Cole took full advantage of the slide.  (Just don't mind the part where he shoves the little girl out of the way because she was impeding his sliding.)

Christmas Time In Colorado

We are having a great time in Colorado at Aunt Heather's house.  We have invaded and Cole is putting the house through its paces.  It definetely is a white Christmas as we have had snow each day.  Luckily Mary was able to make it in safely although the drive home that night was a little long.  Cole is enjoying his time with Grandma and Grandpa Hobson.  Christmas morning was really enjoyable as Cole eventually figured out the whole gift opening idea.  He received some great presents.  He loves his new luggage as you will see in the video below.  Also, we have been testing out the snow.  He was unsure at first, but is warming up to the idea.  The clothes were a little difficult to move in at first, but he is getting the hang of it.  He loves to pick up the snow and share with others.

Hope everyone is having a fantastic time with their loved ones.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to Everyone! 

This is Cole's special stocking.  He loves pressing the button and listening to Elmo sing to him. 

Have a fun and safe day.

Holiday Photos

Hello!

So it has been a crazy couple of weeks, but we are now looking forward to some time with family coming up.  Mary left today for a long business trip to the East Coast, so the boys are in charge for the remainder of the week.  I can make no promises what the house will look like when Mary returns.

I have attached a few photos of Cole that we have taken for the Holidays.  Thought everyone would enjoy.  The bottom one is our card from this year and the top two were from a photo session we did today.

Hope everyone is doing well.  Take care!

Getting in the Christmas Spirit

Love that face!

We went to purchase our tree this past weekend and were really excited for Cole to be part of the process. He loved the lights, looking at the trees, and walking around the nursery. They had a little train set up for kids to watch and tons of beautiful flowers.

Of course we tried to visit Santa. As the picture shows, it didn't go well. (That photo is for you Heather.) Cole liked him from a distance, but once on the lap he was having none of it. But he recovered quickly and waved goodbye to Santa as we left. Maybe next year.

Video of Cole at the Zoo

Hello, just a quick video from the zoo. Hope everyone is doing well.
