Hot Chocolate

After our cold day in the snow, Cole warmed up with some hot chocolate. This was her first experience with it and she wanted to drink it out of her "coffee cup" which proved to be quite messy. She loved it right down to the last drop. All I can say is thank God for Chocolate...AND Oxi-Clean! :)

Mmmm! Snow's Good!

Cole LOVES the snow! In fact, you'll see in the videos that she did NOT want to come inside--fortunately, we have plenty of snow in our neck of the woods! She was throwing snow balls when she made a wonderful discovery...that snow tastes like ice which is one of her favorite things right now--(crushed ice).

Sled Riding

Last weekend, we did some sledding. Watch these videos and see what you think about Daddy's pulling?!

Bundled Up

Last weekend, we had a small snow, so we bundled up and went outside for some sledding, snowman building, and our personal favorite...snow eating. As you can see, she loves her "glubs"/gloves. There will be more pictures and videos to come of this day.

Cole's Baby Dolls

Another one of Cole's favorite things right now are her baby dolls. She plays pretend with them--sleeping, eating, burping, crying, etc. She loves her baby dolls and we think she is going to be a VERY good big sister when the time comes! (check out the crazy hair on this girl :)

Fish Pond

Cole had a fun time last week looking in the fish pond at a local restaurant. She called them the "fishin's". As you will see in the video, she also is fascinated with her "sparkly" shoes--she even wants to put on her sparkly shoes first thing in the morning with her pj's. Also, when our friends were leaving, Cole is saying "see ya later alligator, after while crocodile." She's a character!

Wishing Fountain

On our last trip to the mall, Cole and Daddy spent some time throwing coins in the fountain. She was very delicate about throwing them in.

Next American Idol Part 2

We caught Cole using the microphone to sing, but she seemed a bit distracted by it. She thought it wise to taste it instead of sing into it.

Next American Idol

Cole loves to sing these days! If you listen closely, you'll hear almost the entire song of Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star, however, she had to pause to take a drink...apparently, she was thirsty!

Cole's First Lock-in

Brian had a lock-in, "UP ALL NIGHT", event Friday night. Cole and I went to the beginning part and by 8:30pm Cole was using the bean bag toss as a bed. She kept saying, "Mommy, Cole's pillow...Cole go night-night!" It was a great night and the kids had a ball, but Cole and I retired shortly after these shots were taken. (note her first time with piggy-tales :)

Veggie Tales

Mimi and Granpa sent Cole a few Veggie Tales CD's for the car and we are all enjoying them! You see, we've been listening to the same CD of "Cole's Songs" for the last 6 months and there were no questions about it...if we were in the car, Cole demanded each song by name. Some of her favorites included, "pop the weezle"/Pop Goes the Weezle, "daddy's song"/Home on the Range, "sunshine song", etc. Needless to say, we are enjoying our car rides more these days! Thanks Mimi and Granpa!!!

Ice Cream is DELICIOUS!

One of Cole's new favorite foods is Chocolate Ice Cream Cones! She loves it! Check out the video too...she thinks it's "delicious"! We thought that was an appropriate word :) (check out this girl's hair once again--it's somethin'!)

Maternity Picture

So some of my girlfriends have been asking for a pregnancy picture--Brian took this this morning and I thought it was a more flattering angle of me for the time being...girls, does this count? :)

Cinderella's Biggest Fan!

Cole is becoming quite the princess fan! Everything is all about Cinderella. She talks to Cinderella on the phone. Cinderella watches her eat her meals. She watches her Cinderella movie over and over and she is even sleeping on a Cinderella pillow. Here are a few pictures of her with her Cinderella "stuff"!

Happy Valentine's Day

We had quite a Valentine's Day. Cole had a day fit for a princess! Her Daddy surprised her with a Cinderella Dress-Up kit and she loved the Cinderella card from Aunt Crista, Nana & Papaw...note the look on her face when she opended it!

THANK YOU NANA!!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you...NANA! She came to stay with Cole for a few days while Mommy and Daddy went to Chicago for a little get away. She and Cole had quite a time together, cooking, reading books (her new Big Sister book from Nana was her absolute favorite!), shopping, and just enjoying each other's company. We've never been away that long and wondered how Cole would do without us, but it seemed that she loved every minute of it! Thanks again Mom, for allowing us to get away without worry!

Doctor Visit

Cole had an ear infection a couple of weeks ago, so we had to take her back in for them to check her ears this past week and snapped a couple of pictures of Cole making herself right at home! Doesn't she look like a big girl?!
