Cole & Claire Bear Report

I cannot even believe it was almost a year ago that Cole was brought into our lives. While the day of him birth is still fresh on our minds, there is not another day that I have felt so many emotions as I did the day he was born. I still consiter that day the scariest and happiest day of my life. While the day itself did not go the way we planned it, once I met Cole... it was all worth it. When I was pregnant, it used to annoy me people telling me all the time to get my sleep now. I was huge and Cole kicked all the time, how was I supposed to get my sleep? Well Cole may not be the perfect sleeper, getting up in the middle of the night does not bother me because I love holding him in my arms and snuggling with him. These moments make everything in the world seem perfect. and I would not trade it for anything. Looking back on this year, I feel Mark and I have learned o much about our parenting values, skills, and also us together as a team trying to raise a child. I know that in the last...

So Cole is obsessed with Taz! Loves to crawl afterhim and wants to be best friends. Taz stays close, but not too close! Cole loves to grab his hair! Funny enough Cole will call him dog, and we tell him cat.. but I suppose he is the size of a small dog ;-) Here is a pic of Cole torturing Taz!!

Last week a friend of mine Chandra took some pics of Cole up at Snoqualmie point park... she sent me a few sneak peeks! Can't wait to see the rest!!

Last week we went and met Becca and Jack at Anthony's for lunch with Mom and Dad.We had a great lunch with a great view!! I love seeing the boys interact now! They are so interested in eachother! Here's a ton of pics from lunch!!

Man this week has been crazy at work, and been so busy! Thankfully it will slow down a little! Cole's talking up a storm now! He says mama, dada, dog, cat, balloon, ball, bird, andthe newest clock! He loves to point at things too, it's nice having him communicate what he wants!! He's crawling all over the place, and getting into everything! He loves the tv and cable box buttons! He's so much fun and I enjoy every moment with him! He recently has become more attached to Mark and I, and has turned into a bit of a mama's boy :-) I am totally okay with it of course!! We recently have started little gym, and he likes it, sometimes he wants to do things while I am holding him so I don't go too far!! ;-) We enjoy going and spending time with Stephanie and Hunter!

I am so excited! For part of Cole's birthday present, I got a baby block madefor him. A friend I played volleyball with and her mom started making these amazing blocks! We just got it today, and I love it!!! It is seahawks themed, and so cool! Here's some pics!
