Beni & the Blu's...

In your head I hope you singing..."Benny, Benny, Benny & the Jetts"...? :)

How do you celebrate Valentine's Day with a 15 month old? Normal parents would find a babysitter, but not us...we take the baby with us to celebrate.

We packed up and headed out to Benihana last night. Of course we took 5:30pm reservations and were pleasantly surprised that not just blue hairs occupied the restaurant. We chose Benihana thinking that Cole would be entertained by the flying food and flaming volcano onion that Benhiana offers. Turns out we were right, it was a hit!

Here a few pictures of the evening...

PS...are Cole and I related much?

Little Movie Star

It's been a while since our last post and I wish I had more to report from AZ! I guess no news is good news around here. We continue to slowly look for a home to call our own again. Thought we had found it a couple of weeks ago, but someone else beat us to it. So...we continue to look.

I found this picture of Cole and had to post it. He loves glasses and when he finds them he knows just what to do with them. He found these sunglasses and just kept putting them on and taking them off. I think he looks like a little movie star in the big hollywood shades (check out his big chompers)!

Cole is keeping busy and keeping us very busy! He continues to learn new words and now can say Mama, Dada, Nana (this is banana, or any snack really), Milk (which is pronounced Ma-Mo), Ball, Bubbles, Grandpa (said Ba-Pa), More, Yes and No. He loves to say No and even shakes his head at the same time.

Here is Cole in his bath recently. He just loves to take baths and learned how to splash while he was at his cousin's house last month (thanks, Lukas!). He makes quite a mess most nights.

PS...I have said before, but feel I need to comment again. I SWEAR his hair looks fire engine red in pictures...but not as much in real life. Maybe I am just in denial...
