Indoor Activities :)

Its' been chilly here (for California) and really rainy! We, along with the rest of the state of CA have been pasing a cold around for a couple weeks. Our apartment complex turns into a big puddle when it rains, which makes it hard to play, even though Cole loves it! Too bad he was sick for most of it and his mean mom wouldn't let him play outside in the freezing puddles. We've had to find fun inside stuff to do. Here are a few pictures of Cole's new favorite indoor passtimes. :)

we love to play with our friends!
Mackenna and Brittney came over the other day to play. It was fun to hang out with them. Cole and Mackenna get along great! I'm glad they like playing together! Did I mention BUBBLES are a new favorite buzz word around here too? Don't watch, Mom. We sometimes do them in the house...

these blocks are a hit!!
My mom made Coleman these yarn blocks for christmas. They're made from that plastic weavy stuff (i'm sure that's the technical term for it) and yarn and they have awesome bells inside. He absoluteley loves them! Lateley he's been playing with them more and more. He's building taller towers and learning to say the colors of the blocks (most of the time he thinks they're green or purple) :). His other favorite thing to do with his blocks is to pretend they're a train. He lines them up on the floor and pushes them along saying "choo choo!" It's about the cutest thing I've ever seen!

cole found the pots and pans under the oven!
I ran in the other room for a second to grab something while making dinner the other night. When I came back Cole was sitting in the drawer and the pans were flying. :) I ran back into our bedroom to get the camera, but missed the best shot. He'd made his way out of the drawer, but was still enjoying himself with the pots (they make a great sound when you bang them on our linoleum).

playing with his tube of zoo animals
This was a great 40% off buy at Michael's the other day. Cole can say all the animal names and make a lot of the sounds. He LOVES to dump them out and them put them back into the tube. My favorites are the elephant sound (you can see him spitting to make it in the picture above) and the gorilla sound.
