Old McDonald Had a Farm!

I had so much fun at Deanna Rose today. Reid and I got to milk a cow. A few of our other little buddies were there too, but they were busy playing elsewhere and we didn't get any pictures of them.
This hay in the cow's bed is pretty neat. Mommy wouldn't let me put it in my mouth, though!

Hi Mr. Cow. Are you taking a nap?

Mommy's Big Birthday

My mommy turned 30 on Friday! We had such a great weekend celebrating! Mommy, Daddy and I went to dinner on Friday night with GranJan, Poppy, Auntie Jess and Uncle Chris. Then GranJan and Poppy stayed with me Saturday and Sunday while Mommy and Daddy went down to the Plaza to stay the night and hang out with their friends.
Here's me with my mommy and daddy!

Here I am with GranJan - we had the best time together! I didn't get a picture with Poppy, though. :( I ate LOTS, slept LOTS, splish splashed in the bath, went on walks and had fun playing with my GranJan and Poppy while Mommy and Daddy were gone!

Here's a picture Mommy and Daddy took on the Plaza. They forgot about their camera til the end of the night, so they only got pictures of a few good friends who were there til the end. (Tad, Heather, Auntie Jess, Uncle Chris, Mommy, Daddy, Jennifer and Matt)

Mommy's wonderful friend from college, Sara, flew in from Houston for Mommy's birthday party!

11 Months


In just one month, I will be 1 year old! I am getting to be such a big boy!

Swimming Lessons

I started my very first swimming lessons this week. Reid and I are in the same class with our mommies. The water has been SO cold since the weather has been cool this week. We haven't been able to do much because the teacher doesn't want us to get our heads wet and get hypothermia. Hopefully it will warm up so we can do more tomorrow and next week. Yesterday, Daddy took the day off work, so he got to go to swim lessons with us!
Here we are with the dark sky behind us! Even though the water was cold, I still really liked to get in and splash around and today I liked putting my face in the water!

Cole and Mommy Walking

My Mommy has been teaching me how to walk. It is really fun. I like the way she holds my hand as we walk along. I sure do love my mommy!

Boy's Night

Daddy and I had a boy's night last night while Mommy was out. We decided to take some funny pictures.

I'm in my pack n' play with my favorite toy in the whole world - a BALL! I love any type of ball and love throwing the ball back and forth, back and forth.


I can't wait to help Daddy mow someday!


I love stairs - climbing them and sitting on them!

GranJan and Poppy!

Yesterday I went to Topeka to hang out with GranJan and Poppy. Daddy and Poppy put up a baby swing in their backyard. I went on a walk with GranJan and Mommy and just played lots. It was so much fun!
Last Friday, I went to Deanna Rose Farmstead with GranJan, Poppy and Mommy. We didn't get to stay long because it started to rain. But here's a picture of us with a big goat. It was about to get GranJan!

Playdates

I had some really fun playdates this week. Today I got to see Reid, Xavier and Jack. I am in my diaper because I had a MAJOR blowout! It's been a while since I've had one, so Mommy didn't even bring an extra outfit for me. I was a little embarrassed to have my picture taken in my diaper when all my buddies were looking spiffy in their cute outfits.

Here's Xavier and Jack - they are only 2 days apart!

Yesterday I went swimming with Reid. The big pool is SO much fun! I love to put my face in the water over and over. Reid's mom said of course I like the water because my Daddy is from Florida!

Reid's mom is good at making us laugh for pictures!

Time to dry off!

On Tuesday, I got to have a playdate with Nolan and Maya at Barnes & Noble! They were SO good - as always! I was happy as long as I got to keep this straw in my mouth.

My First 4th of July!

I had a fun first 4th of July! I went to the parade in our neighborhood, but we missed most of it because we got there late. Mommy and Daddy had to wake me up from my nap to go. Our family went swimming in the baby pool in the backyard and grilled out. I was too tired to stay up for the fireworks, but Mommy and Daddy could see them pretty good from our house.
