And He's One!

On February 14 my baby turned 1! Cole has brought so much joy to our family, and I can't even remember what our life was like without him in it! I know it was easier with only one child, but I would never go back now! He is such a happy boy -he is often smiling, which of course makes everyone smile! He is so fun!

Some little facts about Cole at 1 year old:

• He has 5 teeth
• He says "Mom" and "Ball" and starts singing our "clean up" song (sort of!)
• All he would need for a toy is a ball -he gravitates to them right away
• His favorite foods are lasagna and any fruit
• He just started sleeping through the night consistently a couple weeks ago, but now has often been waking up by 6 am (way too early in my opinion!) 
• He waves, gives high fives and shakes his head no
• He makes us laugh daily

For his little party we had a train theme, and it turned out so cute! He LOVED his cake! And he cried when everyone started leaving his party -so I think all in all, it was a great success!

I made this little train out of graham crackers and Oreos!
I found the instructions here.
And I am really happy with how it turned out!!
Cole's Aunty Kathy made the cupcakes and his little cake!

He would've eaten this whole cake if we'd let him!

Why Not Me?

Everyone has a blog! So I thought, why not me? So here I go, letting you all into pieces of my life, whether funny or serious! This will mostly be a place to talk about my kids, and about my life as a Mom! And every once in a while, when I get away from the boys for a bit, it might even be just about me!  Hopefully in sharing bits of my life with you, I will also be able to share encouragement, wisdom and laughter as I try and navigate through this adventure of motherhood!
