No Easter Bunny pic this year

Yesterday I attempted to take Cole to get his picture with the Easter Bunny. I dressed him up in his adorable Easter outfit and off we went. It was early in the morning on a weekday, so no one was in line and the bunny was just hanging out. A few our friend's little ones went up the Easter Bunny and were chatting with him. Cole was very interested and even walked close to him. When the bunny extended his hand to Cole, he turned away and refused to look at him. I asked him if he wanted his picture taken with the bunny and he said "nooo, nope, uhhh-aaaa." We shopped at the mall for a while and every time we walked by the Easter Bunny Cole would say "hi bunny and wave". Then I'd ask him if he wanted a picture and he'd say "nooo, nope, uhhh-aaa."

I'm not really concerned that he will sit on the bunny's lap and cry. My concern is that he will fight the bunny to get down and end up hurting the Easter Bunny.

When we got home we had a little chat about the bunny and Cole said he did want to sit on his lap and have a picture. So, we will see. Maybe well try again next week.

Just the two of us

Brien left this morning for a 12 day business trip to Seattle. I think the longest I've been without him since Cole was born is one night. I'm a little anxious about what the next 12 days will bring. Cole and I plan to keep busy with errands and playgroups and hopefully the next two weeks will fly by.

Must See Video of Cole!

Cole has a special message for everyone. Check out the video below.




We are very excited to be expecting Cole's baby brother or sister sometime around November 3rd!

"I Dizz"

Check out Cole getting dizzy and showing off his letter skills!

Picasso on our hands?

Cole really loves to draw, so we spent a large part of the day with the crayons out. He had been doing so well only coloring on paper, and I really thought he understood.

Our window seat

Apparently not! The crayons are now under lock and key

When I showed the window seat to Cole and asked him if he did that, he buried his head in my shoulder and said "sarney".

"Sarney" is becoming a frequently used word around here. About a week ago, he stuffed a roll of toilet paper in the toilet. FYI: The best thing to do in that situation is NOT to flush. I got a big "sarney" and a hug after that incident too.

Playing in the Snow

On Tuesday we got about an inch or so of snow, so Cole and I bundled up and headed outside to play.

At first he was a little apprehensive. He really did not like that the snow was on his shoes and kept trying to brush it off.



As a result, his mitten were covered in snow as well. Cole was not a fan!

After a while he started to enjoy it more. He was especially excited when I told him he could taste it. He kept saying "tastes ice". Which I assume meant "This tastes like ice."

Then we went inside to warm up!


*Tuesday night Cole got a nasty stomach bug, that is coming and going intermittently. (I got it too, but not as bad). We are hoping he will be 100% recovered soon.

My baby is growing up!

Cole has been having a really hard time with nap time and bedtime lately. So this weekend, we decided to make a change.
We converted his crib to a toddler bed. He LOVES it! He was so excited to go to bed last night and slept all the way until 7:15 this morning. He stayed in his bed and read some books until I came and got him. He didn't even try to get down.

Our fingers are crossed that he keeps this up and that naps go just as smoothly.

*Yes, that is "The Night Before Christmas", Cole insists that we read the "Ho book" every night.
