Rangers Game and the Zoo

Justin is on vacation...so we decided for a quick trip to DFW.

First on the list was a Texas Rangers game. We wanted to go while Cole was an only child. Justin had "secured" tickets from a vendor for 2nd row behind home plate. We've never sat that close...super excited. when we went to pick the tickets up...we found out they were for the night before. OH WELL...we bought 15$ tickets in the nosebleeds (5 rows from the top) since that was ll that was left.

We also went to the zoo. It was Cole's first time. He LOVED it! The best part was when the lions woke up. The girl woke up the boy by "spraying" his face. Then he groomed her & they started "talking". They took things inside after that...probably a good thing! Cole loved the carousel also! He & daddy became very scared when a snake attacked them through the glass in the reptile room. It was HILARIOUS!!

16 month appointment

Cole had his doctor's appointment on 6/10.

Stats
Height: 33.25 inches (90th percentile)
Weight: 24.25 pounds (45th percentile)

So...he's slowed down quite a bit on weight & height. I hear that is normal between 1 & 3 years of age. We are used to him being OFF the charts on height...but now he's at the top. I'm glad he's weighing lower than 50th percentile...because don't they say that have of US kids are obese?

He got 2 shots and he did REALLY well. It was the first time I actually looked at him during shots. I normally turn my head & cry...but he was so sad & wanted me, so I held his hand. Justin held him down. He was fine once I carried him again :).

We finished up the appointment by having El Chico. Cole ate a whole soft taco and another tortilla with his beans & rice. I told him he was a real hispanic because he was dipping his tortilla into his beans like a pro! hehe...

Oh...on the same day, Cole found out he is going to have a little sister! I've been showing him baby pictures on the internet and saying, "BABY", and then telling him there's a baby in my belly. He gives my belly sugars too! Sometimes if Justin and I are feeling the baby move, Cole will come up and hit my belly. Not in a mean way...I think he's just getting little Natalie ready for play time!!

Tractors

Cole's latest love is tractors. He got a book for Easter about tractors. about a month later, Papa got a new tractor that he got to ride in. (It has a "buddy seat"). Since then...he's been addicted to them.

I took him to school with me the other day and he pointed and said, "Tatoo". I looked, and next to me was a tractor! Now he calls trucks and tractors "tattos".

Watering the Grass

Cole also loves watering the grass! I got a new watering pole & he is addicted to it. I guess it makes him feel big! He will stand & water until his curiosity takes over and then he will end up IN the water with his other favorite thing...mud!

Loving the MUD!

Cole has found a new love...the mud. It never fail to amaze me that he is CERTAINLY all boy! This was his first time out in the mud that he really knew what to do!

Where has the time gone?





I've been so tired with pregnancy & school, I have just left this blog alone. I'm trying to come back with a vengeance!

Easter

This was Cole's 2nd Easter. He sure has changed!! He spent a few days before Easter with Grandma & Grandpa & Auntie Danielle.

He also had an Easter Egg hunt at United. He didn't really understand the process & some kids stole his eggs :( He DID get to play with a real bunny though!

Finally he had his real Easter. He was so excited the Easter Bunny came. He loved his presents. We went to church and then to Mimi & PaPa's. There, he saw his cousins, Garrett & Gavin. They had a blast! I can't wait until Gavin & Cole can really play together!
