What's Been Going On...

Today Wade turned 17 months and Cole is already 3 months old.  I know I have said it time and time again, but where does the time go?

Wade is so much fun and Cole is truly the sweetest baby ever.  Although he keeps me busy, Wade is at such a fun age.  We have such a great time watching him and constantly answering him when he asks "What's that?" eighteen hundred times a day.  I laugh all day long at the antics he pulls.  He is really into Cole these days and loves to give him hugs and kisses.  This means I have to watch him every waking minute but I am glad that he is loving towards him and not mean or aggresive.  He is also starting to show an interest in watching TV and some of his favorite shows are Sesame Street, Little Einsteins and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.

Cole just seems so big lately and is growing up so fast.  He is all giggles and smiles all day long and loves to watch Wade as he runs around the house screaming.  He also enjoys laying on his activity mat and has really started paying attention to his toys and is beginning to reach out for them.  Nights have even gotten better.  He doesn't usually wake up until 5:30 or 6:00 to eat.  That means I get a full night's sleep most nights. Yea!

Other than the boys, here are a few things that have been keeping us busy lately...

My mom, Peaches, came in to town for a week and we went to the arboretum pumpkin patch.


 Wade loved the petting zoo they had set up and wanted to hug on all the animals.


We have been watching lots of baseball.
Chris and his dad got to go to Game 5 here in TX.  Lucky guys got to see the Rangers win!
We went back to the TX State Fair.  We ate and we ate and we ate fried deliciousness all night. Yum corny dogs! We also put Wade on a couple of rides this year and he did NOT like them at all!  What he did like was the petting zoo, lights and live music at every turn.  That boy loves to dance!  He also had fun getting to sit in the cars and "driving" at the car show.  He is definitely all boy in that regard.   




We have had a busy but fun month and are enjoying all Dallas has to offer this fall.

Brotherly Love!

The hardest thing about having two kids under 18 months is trying to explain to Wade to be gentle with his younger brother.  He is just not quite old enough to understand the concept and that his "love pats" could actually hurt him.  I have to stay on top of him at all times so he doesn't accidentally do something that could cause harm to Cole.

Needless to say, the other night I turned my back for maybe 20 seconds and found Wade literally ROLLING on top of Cole while he was playing on his activity mat.  I don't think Cole was too bothered by it since he didn't cry out at all and obviously he survived.  It just reminded me that I have to be aware of Wade's whereabouts at all times.

I did get a cute picture out of it at least...
