Father's Day

Father's Day weekend was fantastic. On Saturday Cory played golf with fiends and then all the families gathered for a little BBQ and swimming. Thanks Erica for the great idea and thanks to Lauren and Brian for hosting at their pool. This was the first time we took Cole swimming. He really had a good time. Cole was so relaxed in the float the he fell asleep in the pool! Today we relaxed at the house. Cole and I made Cory a steak dinner and surprised him with a massage gift certificate. Happy Father's Day Cory!

Cole loves his Daddy!

Baby Pool Fun

Cole in the baby pool for the first time. He seemed to enjoy himself.
The baby pool has become a new favorite activity on the weekends.

Cole's First Birthday

Last Sunday Cole Thomas turned one! We celebrated with a big party at the house. It was so fun. The living room was full of babies. Cole enjoyed his friends and got to try cake for the first time. We had a blast.

Cole getting ready for birthday cake.

He loved it! After playing with the frosting we gave him a slice to eat.

The smile says it all!

Cole when it was all over.
He was so messy that he had to take a mid party bath.

It was so fun to have everyone at the house.

Cole crashed after the party!

After a nice long nap he was ready to play.

Almost One!

We spent the weekend getting ready for Cole's Birthday Party. Cole had a lot of fun cruising the stores in the shopping cart. I can hardly believe he is going to be one. We have come such a long way in a year. Cole now pulls up on everything. He has perfected his crawling and now keeps his tummy off the floor. He is starting to stand on his own and takes a few steps with help. He is eating some table food but mostly stage 3 baby food. We are just loving this stage. He has such a cute little personality. He is very curious and a bit shy. I will post lots of pictures next week after the party.
