More crawling videos


Just wait 'til the end...it's the best part!



Cole is on a mission!
(Please excuse Stella's tail...!)

More pool time


"I'm perplexed..."


Is it a banana or a shovel?


Wearing Granddad's hat!


Standing up in the pool!


Busy playing!

2012 Summer Olympics


Bring on the Olympics!


Yay!  Olympics!


I'm handsome, aren't I?


Whoa, Granddad!

Checking out the animals (stuffed, that is)


Hmmm...what are these all about?


Look at me and the toys!


What a fun teddy bear!

Dining Room Art Wall



Thanks to Shaun's handyman skills we have a nice spot to hang Cole's artwork!

Fun around the house


Happy boy!

Dad enjoys doing dishes - can't you tell?!

We have a crawler


The hilarious giggling is just as good as the excitement over the crawling!

Way to go Cole!

8 Months Old


07-18-12
(our picture is a day late because Cole fell asleep early last night!)

Cole is a svelte 20.8 lbs and is already in 12 month clothes!

What a happy dude!

My teachers gave me a faux hawk...

...and of course I looked adorable!


I love my new 'do!


David Beckham, look out!


It's awesome that I have so much hair!

Who knew that sunscreen and water were such great styling aids?!

Zoo time


Dad and Cole with the bird houses (hiding out from the sprinkles for a few minutes!)

The Kelty was definitely the way for Cole to travel - made it easy for him to see everything!


Birds in the Elephant Passage - they did more hopping than flying!


We got to see the monkey cross the rope!


Handsome dudes


Can you tell the exhibit is sponsored by Toyota?


We love elephants!


Here he comes!


Showing off in the water!


One of the zoo's many peacocks!


Zebras!


Cute little antelope called a "Dik dik" (we saw these at the Omaha Zoo a few years ago!)

Best friends


"Smile!"


"We are two peas in a pod..."

Peek-a-boo


Peek-a-boo!  I see you!

Breckenridge Trip: Day 2

We spent day #2 walking around Main Street (where Cole took a snooze!) and we rode the gondola up to Peak 8.  Even Stella came along for the ride!







Breckenridge Trip: Day 1


On our way to Lily Pad Lake!


Dad & Cole getting ready to cross the bridge!









True to form - tons of lily pads!


The hiking crew (Stella's around somewhere...!)


The littlest hiker took a snooze...


"Too much nature!"


Snack time at Lily Pad Lake #2


Stella patiently waits...


Alright!  Back across the bridge (and the sun came out!)!


Pretty scenes from the trail




You can see Dillon Reservoir through the clearing


Stella gave up and had to be carried the last stretch of the way...


"I'm beat!"

(This is the definition of "dog tired!")



After our hike we drove up to Hoosier Pass!
