Fall Leaves

My dad called us last weekend and told us to bring Cole over because he had a huge pile of leaves in his back yard for Cole to play in. Well...as you can see, Cole did not get that leaves are to play in!!! He was like, "What are you doing to me! Get me outta here!" It was so cute! He did not know what to think! We had fun posing him though because he didn't move a muscle!!! How cute is his hat?!? He's getting so BIG!!! We had a great Thanksgiving and can't wait for Christmas!!!!

Happy 1st Birthday Cole!!!

We celebrated Cole's first birthday at home and we had a little party for him! He got lots of fun stuff and tried cake for the first time! I realized after I was looking at the pics that I didn't have one with him smiling!!! He took a quick nap before the party and I think he wasn't quite his peppy self yet! It was so fun watching him open his presents! We can't believe he's already a year old! What a great little boy he's becoming! Can't wait for all the birthdays to come!

Chuck E Cheese

The day before Cole's birthday CJ took the day off and we took him to Chuck E Cheese! He had fun but I think he's a bit too young to play most of the games there. CJ said it should be called Chuck E Sleeze because it kind of skeeved him out! A little boy kept touching everything in the salad bar! It was pretty funny! Cole liked riding in the car with Stuart Little so much that he gave him a kiss! Cole is so funny about experiencing new things. We can't tell if he's having fun because he looks so serious! He's just taking everything in and trying to figure out what's going on!

Random Pics

Here are a few random pics of Cole! He loves to cuddle his Piper! We just turned his car seat around so now he's a big boy! He loves looking at everything! How cute is his new winter hat?!?

Crazy boy!

Cole cuddling with Piper!

GO GATORS!!!

Ahhhh, you caught me!!!

Happy Halloween!!!

I can't tell you how much I had been looking forward to dressing Cole up for Halloween! Well, wouldn't you know, I came down with a horrible cold and couldn't even muster enough strength to go trick-or-treating (so please excuse my appearance)! :( It was ok though, because Daddy stepped up and took Cole trick-or-treating on our street! I was so bummed out that I couldn't go! Ah well, there's always next year! Cole was so cute in his lion costume! As you can see, he wasn't too happy about getting his nose painted and when we finally got the paint on, he wiped his nose on my shirt and it all came off! He had so much fun looking through all of his candy and showing us what he got! We were happy to help him eat it!!! He'll be celebrating his first birthday next week so more pics to come! I can't say enough about what a wonderful, happy little guy he's becoming and how much joy he's brought to our lives and how blessed we are that he made us a family!

Isn't Cole the cutest lion ever?!?

Play Time

Mom and I took Cole to play at the park in our neighborhood. It was the first chilly day of the winter! Cole loves going down the slide. He can do it all by himself now!

The Corn Maze

We all went to a corn maze here in town. Cole loves experiencing new things! You can just see that he's taking everything in! They had a little pumpkin patch and Cole was so cute trying to pick them up unaware that they weighed as much as him! So cute!

Fun Times

Here are some pics of Cole clowning around! He loves to put hats on himself and anyone else who is willing! How cool does he look in Grammie's sunglasses?
