100

Today Cole had Breakfast with Daddy! Sort of-I brought Cole's chair in my room so he could eat breakfast and skype with Josh. It was so funny because he always wants to share his food. Josh enjoyed some strawberries and blue berries but there was no way Cole was giving up his Jello!
Today brings us to approximately 100 more days. Not that we are counting. Tick-toc Tick-toc Hopefully the time will go by fast!

Stretching Out

I love the arms behind the head! He cracks me up. Thank goodness for Christmas-he is switching into a different size again! I've been checking the after holiday clearance racks and getting him some new clothes. As you can see a few weeks back he was already max loading his onesie. Poor Baby

Just Like Mom

Here's Cole at Gym Class this morning. He was rockin'. He has been a busy bee and has come a long way. I'm very proud of him! I have to admit the first few classes I was wondering why I was paying for him to sit on my lap but now I can't keep him off the equipment. Going to little gym is nice so he gets some play time, especially with these cold winter days.

Pudding Anyone?

Laughing All The Way

When the weather is nice I've been taking Cole around the yard. He is a die hard. He never wants to go inside. Hope everyone is enjoying the weather 15 above today-Yahooooo!!!

Happy New Year!

Hello 2011!
So my plans for the new year are as followed:
Work on being healthier, Cut my losses and move on, and Adventure. I think all three will be great to do as a family. Things are moving into action already. Cole and I are signed up at the YMCA. He gets play time with other kids and we get to use the pool. We don't call Cole "Baby Beluga" for nothing!!! He loves the water. We already had grandpa Bob come and join us too.
With the new year we will also find out soon where our next base is going to be. I'm thankful that Cole and I have been given the time to spend with my family. There are a few things I wish I would have done differently or changed but I think that's life. I've accepted the fact that you just cant' change people. And you can't be in two places at once!
The condo is being rented out. Tenants will move in the condo in about two more weeks. I wish we could wash our hands of it but I'm also pleased that we will get to return someday. We have some great friends in the DC area.
As for adventure, I was hoping to leave the house; but with Cole I may not need to do that, it's always an adventure with an 19month boy around.
I apologize for not blogging more. I have several fun stories but I often draw a blank when I come to make an entry. But not today!
After I took the mail in today Cole was flipping through the magazines. Actually it was the Victoria Secret Swim Suit Magazine. His father would be proud as he would point at the boobies and be boos (belly buttons) on some of the girls. At times I would look away and he would shout "Be Boos" until I would look at the magazine. Boys will be boys! Hope everyone enjoyed the holidays.

Sometimes you have to laugh outloud

Here it is already December 1st! I can't believe how fast this year is flying by. In the past month or so Cole and I have had our ups and downs. We are currently spending time in WI. We have had our condo in Virginia on the market and it currently still hasn't sold. So now we have to think what is best for us. Moving back to Virginia shouldn't be that hard. It's just getting everything back in the Condo by myself (oh, and Cole's help) that could get interesting. I guess in the back of my head I knew it would come down to this.
I thought spending time here would be best for all of us-Cole, Ju-Ju and myself. So far we did get to see a few of our peeps and have had a blast watching Drew my nephew in football and basketball. We attended Todd, Ethan and Zane's B-day and had the best cake in years...a doughnut cake! Catey invited me on her class trip. And Gracey is celebrating her 7th B-day today. I got out and ran with Gary and Brig. And Todd and Lana always have there way celebrating Halloween which is fun! But when you are gone for several years it's hard to get back into the swing of things in your old life! I've toyed around here at my Dad's but he just isn't ready for change. I should of known better because if he wanted it changed he would have already done it himself. I've helped out in an office but times are slow and I found myself back at my dad's or doing lots of shopping. And Cole has had an extremely hard time adjusting being around other kids and getting into his own grove. So here we are on December 1st!
