These are a few of their favorite things

Cole has discovered how much fun it is to get from one place to another by pushing this toy as well as a plastic chair around rather than crawling. 

 Going through our bathroom drawers is also one of his favorite pasttimes!

 I love the way he crawls right up to the window next to our front door and stares outside. 

 So I decided Cole's hair was getting a little long and I thought using a #4 attachment on Ryan's hair clippers wouldn't do too much damage.  But I think I made a mistake.  I feel like I just made him age by a lot of months and when they're babies that's a lot!

Last one!  Sydney loves making up her own songs.  Reminds me a lot of my sister Lindsey when she was little!  Here's one of her latest singles!



Our Valentine's Day

I know this post is a little late, but better late than never.  Sydney was in desperate need of some coloring books and crayons, so Ryan bought her some for Valentine's Day and even made a little scavenger hunt for her to find them.  She woke up to a note from dad along with her first clue!  She was so excited!

 Her favorite hiding spot is behind the couch so of course one of the clues and gifts was back there.

 A case to organize all of her coloring "stuff"

 Talking to Daddy while doing the scavenger hunt

 She loves activities and this workbook is full of them!

 She loves Cinderella so this was her favorite!

 My 2 valentines!

 We even made heart shaped pancakes for dinner that night.



9 months old!

On Monday Cole turned 9 months old!  I can't believe how fast these months have gone!  He started crawling a few weeks ago and is all over the place.  We're now starting to see how observant and how inquisitive he is.  He wants to explore everything he sees and he loves the fact that he can crawl around and do that on his own.  Mommy and Daddy don't find this as fun because we constantly have to keep an eye on him.  Even when he's in our arms he is constantly scanning the room to see what he can get into as soon as he's put down.  He will pretty much smile at anything and we love that about him!  He adores Sydney and loves to laugh with her.  God has truly blessed us with such a sweet little boy!  Here are pictures of him through the months.
