runnin' round

we took the dogs and cole out to brenner's property on the undeveloped side to let them all run around and burn off some energy.  cole loved to follow the dogs around barking after them.  it is REALLY funny to watch your son bark like a dog.  i am so proud of every developmental milestone he hits.

by the way, like his outfit?

taking a breather with jake.

 i'm the king of the world!!!!!

spring is in the air.

we took advantage of a beautiful day last week to go and play in our backyard.  we did not play in the backyard last summer for 2 reasons: 1) our backyard had no grass and 2) cole couldn't walk yet and crawling in the dirt made him cry.  go figure.  but brenner planted some grass and while it has not taken all over the yard, it is much better.

and of course the soccer ball is not far off.  my little man loves sports! 

 i wonder where he gets that from???

 hmmmm......we almost have a pants on the ground issue.  

(name that show!)

cole needs to do some growing.  or i need to clothe him in the proper size clothes.  

i look forward to many more afternoons like this!

happy monday.

happy monday ya'll!

little helper.

cole has been such a helper in this whole cleaning and organizing the house project!  as i was attempting to organize one of the closets in his room, the closet that i have taken over and keep all of my "there is no good place for this" stuff, cole found two loose tubes of wrapping paper.  and he had fun.  

 i almost didn't post this last photo because, let's face it, it is not very good.  however, i don't want cole to look back and ask me why i took 50 million pictures of him and not many pictures of us.  so, here you go son.  an ackward picture with your mother!  (he looks cute though!)
