We’re so excited for you little buddy! You’re learning so much and are such a fun little guy!! We’re so proud of all the great things you’re doing and all you’re learning! You are one amazing kiddo!!
A few things about Cole…
- He says the funniest things – “MOM!!! I’m sneaking up on you!” … “I don’t know that.” (referring to anything he doesn’t want to talk about)… “”I’m just like Dad.” … “Is this just like Daddy?” (referring to anything he wears or does – climbing especially) … “I’m just ________” (he likes to explain everything he’s doing – even justify things he knows he shouldn’t do…pretty funny most of the time)… “Come here Brooke!”… “Brookie’s awake” (even when she’s not – I think he knows that if he says that loud enough it will come true)… the other day he asked Grandpa Terry over the phone if he’d come get him and take him back to his house – so funny!
- He loves to go to Home Depot, Walmart (the toy section), Bass Pro Shop (We haven’t been since moving, but he still asks to go. We’ll have to hit Cabellas in UT over Christmas), the zoo, museums, the library, the park, friends’ houses, Grandpa/ma’s houses (Again, we haven’t been for a long time, but he still asks all the time.), the cheese hamburger store (any burger place will do), the swimming pool at the Kroc Center.
- Cole is a bit of a picky eater lately. He’d prefer to live on fruit snacks, trail mix, granola bars and chocolate chips. He will eat box after box of raisins and likes crackers when he’s really hungry. He does like a few real foods – cereal, milk, chocolate milk, meatballs, cheese hamburgers, french fries, hot dogs, chicken nuggets, any fruit (in large quantity), carrots, green/red/yellow peppers, cucumbers, toast, PB&J, and quesadillas.
- Cole is growing up quick too – he likes to put on his own shoes (crocs and boots), take off his shirts (he’d rather be less clothed…), go potty all by himself (sometimes – when he’s in nursery or in a good mood at home), clear his spot, clean up his own toys (sometimes – ha ha), help Brookie, help me cook (especially cracking eggs or pouring stuff), pretend (super heroes, Buzz Lightyear, Buzz Aldrin, Pistol Pete Maravich, pirates, knights, Prince Phillip, dinosaur, animals, Launch Pad, etc.) He’s a pretty funny guy! We love it when he tap dances like Elmo too…
- We’re proud of Coleman and all that he’s doing. He’s reverent at church (most of the time), likes to help Tyler when he plays the organ, and loves to sing and play music. He loves to read and learn about all types of things (especially bugs lately). He’s cute with his sister and with his friends. He knows lots of letters and sounds. He gives great hugs and even sometimes rubs my back. He’s friendly and kind to everyone. We love you Coleman! And we think you’re amazing!
The Birthday Boy...
Opening his "buggies" - cool bug puppets that have spent lots of nights in his bed...
Dad, Cole and bugs
We were all worried Brookie would be jealous that Coleman was getting all the attention. We even got her her own little gift to open when he opened his presents... turns out she played with this balloon all morning. Why were we worried?? :)
Cole was really excited about his bug cake. Ty and I were just glad it turned out ok. First time with a 2 layer cake... nothing a few oreos couldn't fix!
Blowing out the candles (the Toy Story candles were a big hit Grandma Marilee and Grandpa Terry!!)
Our big guyWe had some dear friends over for cake and a spider pinata after church. It took awhile for these guys to break the pinata - we were really glad the big boys were heavy hitters :). We had the pinata (which Cole was sooooooo excited about for forever!!) and then had cake and everyone just hung out and played. Thanks friends for coming to make his birthday special!
