I know this is weird, but was just playing around in Picasa

our walking boy

Coleman's walking cracks me up. He is also talking up a storm. He knows: Mommy, Daddy, Bubba and ball.

Please tilt your head. I know it is sideways, but I just had to include it!

Is it bad to love a picture of your child crying?
He was supposed to be on this blanket during our photo shoot. He does not sit still!


On the rocker, he loves to stand on it.

Dear Sweet Coleman,

Happy eleven month birthday! In one month you will be a year! My how time flies. This month you have been taking quite a few steps. We are ready for you to take off anyday and just walk tons! You have four teeth now. You have found a new love, goldfish. You devour these! This month has been much tamer than last, it seems like not a whole lot has gone on. You have had some ear infections, but if you wouldn't have had a fever I would have never been able to tell. You are always so good natured and laid back. You do not sit still for anything. You are always on the go. You also like to climb and scale things. You are out of your highchair now b/c you won't stay seated in it! You are still a momma's boy which I absolutely love! You give great hugs and you love to wave. You are such a flirt, and when you do flirt you then play Mr. Shy guy! We just love you so much, you are a precious blessing for us! Our little family would not be complete without you!

Love,

Mommy

Avery turns 3

Chloe got to the top of the slide and then wigged out. Luckily, Craig saved the day and went down with her!

I love this picture of the 2 best friends!

Chloe's best friend, Avery, had her 3rd birthday party last weekend. She wanted to have it at a local park, which was a lot of fun! A big thank you to Mandy for holding Coleman a majority of the time!

Another great gift from Grammie and Grandad was Coleman's swing. He could sit in it for hours! Chloe and Coleman love to be outside and Chloe like to try to play with him

while we are outside. She is such a great big sister!

I know that you shouldn't use beautiful to describe a boy, but Coleman to me is just so beautiful! I just think he is precious and love taking pictures of him! We had a little photo shoot the other day and just wanted to share some of my boy!

Since I have my new camera I rarely take videos anymore. This was Coleman taking some steps. He has done this quite a bit! The top picture cracks me up b/c it looks like he is so proud of himself!

Little Construction worker

This was a toy Coleman got for Christmas from his Grammie and Grandad. It is a big hit in our house!

Bubble bath

Chloe was taking a bubble bath the other night and I could not resist putting Coleman in for a few minutes, more like a few seconds! It was a little too slippery for him.

Swimming Lessons

For Chloe's birthday we asked for money for swimming lessons. It is my desire that she become a great swimmer, so lessons are important to me! She had so much at her first lesson. She floated on her back, practiced blowing bubbles, kicked her legs, and did some things on her tummy. I am so glad she is doing this!

Eggs

We have now tried eggs. At first Coleman will eat them, but then he just throws them to the floor.

painting with Peyten

Peyten came over to play the other day so Chloe and I decided it would be fun to let her paint with us. Chloe loves Peyten and she loves to paint, a perfect combination!

New chair

Coleman can no longer stay in his high chair. I would love to take a picture of him in his high chair now, but am afraid he will fall out. He stands up in it and turns around. I know there are straps to it, but I can't get them tight enough to contain him. So, now he has joined us at the table where he can no longer get up.

Daddy would be so proud!

Daddy would be so proud, Coleman is playing with a basketball!!!

This is how we play with our exersaucer now!

What a cutie pie!
