COLE'S ONE!!!

Happy Birthday to our little "Cole-man!" It was his birthday yesterday and we had such a fun day celebrating with him. We kept it lowkey and just let him do the stuff he loves to do. We started off the morning with a visit from one of our friends, the garbageman. He's seen Carson and Cole growup, so it was only fitting for him to head up the day. Carson is training Cole to be a garbageman just like him, so it looks like I"ll be in for another five or six years of watching the truck. Yay. We swam, played outside, and played with Cole's new toys.

I was looking through Carson and Brynnli's books to see how they compared at the same age to Cole, and discovered that for Carson's first birthday we had a party with 35 people, Brynnli's had 15, and Cole's 7 (our family + Grandma and Gpa Tolbert). I guess if the pattern continues, if we have another kid we'll have to only invite half our family:)

Cole had a ball themed party because that's what he's into, anything he can carry or throw.

He LOVED eating his cake.

Cole has a blocked tear duct, which he'll have to have surgery on later this month. Most days it looks fine, but today it looked especially bad, like he got punched in the eye. Poor guy.

Cole's stats at 1 year:

Weight:22lbs

Height: 31 in.

Walked at 9 3/4 months

Waves, dances, loves music, playing outside, and anything with a ball.

Talking: Shakes his finger "no" and says "na na"when he's doing something hes not supposed to do. Mum, Da, "NUN"-Carson, maybe a few other words only we understand:)

He sleeps 8-7 FINALLY, and has two naps for 1.5 hours.

He's a happy guy and loves to follow the other two around.

Other than the morning when we swam, it rained all day. Cole woudl rather be outside than anywhere else in the world, so before bed I finally caved in and let him go out in the rain. It was just drizzling. He was so excited.

Can't believe my little baby is one. I really can't.
