Our Weekend

This weekend, like a lot of weekends, we used to get caught up! We also made it out to Toys R Us on Saturday to look for the next stage up carseat for Cole. His current one only goes up to 22lbs and he's a pretty solid 20lbs right now. It's a good thing we went now because the one we want has to be ordered in and it could be as long as 3 wks to get it. The lineup was a little long at the store so Jeff and Cole went to wait outside where I found him a few minutes later promising Cole that twice a year we are going to take him there and let him pick out a toy for himself (as long as it's below a certain price--don't want to blow the budget!) He said he remembers being allowed to do this as a child and it being THE best thing, he didn't have the price cap but now with all the expensive battery operated vehicles there he said we'd have to come up with a limit!
Yesterday, we made it out to catch up with friends. In the picture above, Darlene and her sweet new little one, Charity!... holding her it was so hard to believe that only a few months ago Cole was about that size. Cole did well and is a very social little guy, as Tracy said. By the end of the visit though he was getting pretty overtired... he would laugh for others but fuss if he was with me! His naps are once again thrown off as I think he's working on some more teeth:( His immunization shots on Friday went really well, his new doctor was so fast he was done both needles before any of us realized it, including Cole... so only a short cry afterwards. Whew!
Below, a picture of Jeff and Cole from the weekend... Jeff was calling him "farmer Cole" in the overalls with the hat and he insisted on turning up the beak of the cap so he would look a little less so.
