Sunday's with Coley

Our weekend family tradition on Saturday's and Sunday's is to get up in the morning for some family exercise. Let's face it we all need it (okay, mom and dad more than Cole) and it's good family time together. The new neighborhood is very active and we have familiar faces we see each morning. Usually Starbucks is the motivator to keep us going (it's about a 2 miles from our house), but hey...whatever works! This past weekend it was chilly! Everyone had to bundle up for the excursion (this is a rare occurance in AZ).

A few updates since the last post. We had Cole's 1 year doctor appointment. The latest stats are:

Weight 22lb 11 1/2oz (50th percentile)

Height 29 3/4" (50th percentile)

He's doing all the things they want him to be doing at this point. He's learned a few new words in the last couple of weeks. My favorite is "uh oh" which comes out as "uh oooooh." It's pretty cute and he says it at the just the perfect moments to make us laugh. He's getting pretty quick and I anticipate the running child is a comin'! His new favorite thing to do is walk himself out the front door to the car and wait by the door for you to put him in his carseat. He doesn't always wait, sometimes I end up chasing him around the front yard. It's fun to see him acting more and more like a big boy each day.

Here is Cole in with his first set of wheels! Cole's cousin Lukas LOVES the car-cart. I anticipate our boy is going to like them just as much. Any of you mother's out there know the one thing about those carts is they are IMPOSSIBLE to steer. People seem to understand and I just shout "wide load" as we walk through the aisles of Fry's.

Despite how bad they stink, the Blubaum's continue to cheer on the Seahawks each and every Sunday. Cole is finally big enough to fit into his Matt Hasselbeck jersey (thank you Amanda!) and looks adorable. Here is our big fan before the game.
