Yesterday we celebrated Sean's 26th birthday... It wasn't that different from every other day, since it was Sunday, but Cole and I tried to spoil him by making his favorite foods and making sure that he didn't have to change too many diapers:) We tried to take a serious family picture to document the occasion, but since Cole was content on making silly faces, Sean and I decided to join him.
Cole has perfected his Aunt Brittany's smile... for any of you who read my blog and knew Brittany when she was a little girl, this smile will look very familiar to you...
I love the content look on his face in this picture... lately, he loves to play with his animals and he always makes them run around mid-air... I have tried to teach him different animal sounds, but he seems to think that all animals growl...
And he has been learning his letters... if you look at his lips in this picture, you can see that he is saying the letter 'A'...
He started swimming lessons today and I was thrilled with how much he enjoyed the water. Until now, he had pretty much zero pool experience, so I was nervous about how he was going to do, but he did not want to get out of the water when the lesson was over, so I am taking that as a sign that he loved it. It is insane how much he seems to change from week to week now that he is 2. We have also started lessons at The Little Gym, but I don't have any pictures of that, since cameras aren't allowed there... but he loves climbing around there on all of the mats and toys that they have. It is definitely a challenge keeping him busy every day, but I am finding out that there are a lot of fun things to do with him around here and that is making it a lot easier.
