My Boys

We are having too much fun with our little guy. We took Cole to his first FULL church day on Sunday, he was a champ! Slept through the first two blocks, then got a little hungry right there at the end. It was fun to show him off and go to church as a family again. We were given this darling little suit at one of my baby showers, and I think this may be the only wear we get out of it. It's 0-7 lbs., and Cole is about 10 now, but it seemed to fit okay and not be too uncomfortable (Tyler says that is not possible for any suit). But Cole looked so dang cute that I took a million pictures. Tyler even chose a matching tie! Aawwwww.
Daddy and son before church.

This is actually after church.
Isn't that face awesome??!

This is the "do you really need a million pictures of me wearing this?" face. And yes, I do. And get used to it. Here's Tyler walking across the street (yes we live very close) to church. He loves carrying everything and showing our little guy off. I think after 9 months of me getting all the baby attention, he can have his turn :)

After the millionth picture (be glad I didn't put them all on here), like any guy Cole was happy about getting out of that suit. So he loved laying on daddy's chest and working on that strong neck. I think he's doing pretty good considering the big melon he has to support.

I love this one because he actually looks chubby! Look at that double chin.

Dad ready to catch. I wonder if those eyes are going to stay blue?
We worked on the yard last night, and Tyler packed him in the baby pack and we spent a full hour outside mowing the lawn and chatting with the neighbors. I count my blessings every day that we have such a laid back baby! He just goes with the flow (mostly) and is happy doing whatever we're doing. It totally looks like he doesn't fit in there, but it said 8 lb limit and he fell right asleep so I'm assuming it's ok.

Here's our awesome push mower that we use to mow our lawn, it's pretty old (I used to use it as a kid to mow my grandma's lawn) but it cuts well and you get a great total body workout. Whenever I see Cole in that carrier I think of those Japanese game shows where you jump against the velcro wall and stick :)



I was going through Cole's 0-3 month clothes this week and realized that he has a ton he hasn't worn, and he's getting a little big for them. So, I thought I would dress him in a couple for a photo shoot. But, he hates changing clothes so I got 2 outfits in before he decided to be done.

Cute mouth.
After I took these and looked back through them, I realized that our little boy is a natural dancing machine. Here's him doing the hula:

And my absolute favorite, the sprinkler!!! The face totally matches too. I laughed for awhile at this one.
Another cute outfit!

I love that Tyler wore a matching tie. He loves being a dad, that is for sure. You guys are amazing parents. What a lucky guy. LOVE the dance moves too. I had to laugh.
