Let me in Momma!

It's official, Cole loves the pool! For safety the pool is fenced and it's a good thing because the minute Cole goes outside, he's ready to jump right in the water. This morning I took this picture of him...you can only imagine how sad his little face is on the other side. He holds onto the fence like they are prison bars keeping him out!

We also started swimming lessons today. At the end of class they asked if we wanted to try a quick dunk for Cole. I figured why not, he'd already voluntarily done it to himself twice during class! He seems to be advancing well in the class, now if mommy could just learn to swim while we are there!

We took a dip last night after work...here we are all snuggled up in our towels afterwards.

Livin' on Goldfinch, finally!

We survived the weekend. It was touch and go there for a while, but in the end...we survived another move! It's a good thing we are in love with this house, because I don't plan to move for a long time!

Friday was our big day...movers arrived at 7:30am, by 10:30am we were on our way to the new house and they were gone by 1:30pm. There were 2 guys and they moved pretty quick. At one point we had the entire street blocked because movers, Directv, fridge delivery and furniture delivery were all here at the same time. Better all than none, I guess!

I'll try to post pictures of the house as we get all settled. For now here is a picture of the outside of the house.

One thing we made sure to do this weekend was test out the pool. We are so happy to have a pool again! Here are Shawn and Cole going for a dip.

What a difference a year makes...here is Cole last May and Cole this May. Please note he finally got a haircut, phew!

18 months...what a big boy!

This morning was Cole's 18 month check up. We didn't see his normal pediatrician as she is out on maternity leave. To our delight, when we arrived, she was also there checking in for her 2 month old daughter's check up. It was great to see her and meet her baby girl. She couldn't get over how grown up Cole is looking. Mom and dad agree! Here is a picture to demonstrate his very mature look! Please disregard his terrible hair...he needs a haircut but mommy hasn't found the time. Soon, I promise!

This was Cole's first "big boy" trip to the doctor. He got to stand on the scale (instead of being laid on the baby one) and did a great job. He got a Bob the Builder sticker for a job well done. Here are the latest stats!

Height: 30 1/4" (50th percentile)

Weight 25.2 lb (50th percentile)

You've got to hand it to Cole...he is certainly consistent! We had to giggle when we discovered Cole weighs just 3lb more than his 7 month old niece Autumn. Hmmm...?

We had a visit from Grandma and Papa John last month. Here is Cole trying on Papa's shoes. Try to ignore the diaper only look...we were getting ready for bathtime!

I had to also throw this one in for laughs...Cole found his Easter eggs and busted into the candy. Nice job Cole...next time try to hide the evidence a little better!

Friday is moving day...finally! We look forward to getting settled in the new house over the 3-day weekend. Hopefully we'll be able to unpack enough to find the camera and upload some pictures of the house.
