Happy Birthday Cole!

Cole's first birthday was such a fun day. We had a "Let's have a ball" themed party, everything beach ball related. He loves the beach and balls, so it was the perfect combination, and the perfect way to say goodbye to summer. (Although in California we still are enjoying summer weather).
























Don't bother me, I'm eating











The cutest 1 year old I ever saw

At 1 year he weighs 20 lbs 4 oz, is 30 3/4 inches tall and healthy as can be.
He repeats the words "bottle", "ball" and  "beach", still no mama. He says "whoa" when he does something cool, and "uh-oh-oh" when he drops anything. He can sign "more".  He loves to clap for himself, and when asked "how big is Cole?" he throws his hands high up in the air. He started taking his  first steps the day before his birthday.
He LOVES sweets, especially marshmallows. When we go on walks he looks for dogs constantly. Still loves the beach and wants to play in the water.
 He LOVES his grandmas, when they were both at his party he kept switching off every couple minutes. He got his first 1 year molar. Sleeps through the night most of the time, eats pretty much what we eat, nurses twice a day. We love this little guy and can't believe how good life is just 1 year later when we never thought we would survive :)
