Lego my Lego

Our friend, Jason Terreri, came down for Florida Tech Alumni Weekend this October. We were unable to participate in our Alumni Weekend this year due to my being on bedrest, etc., but Jason was still gracious enough to stop by on his way out of town to visit with us and to drop off a few gifts for the kiddos - one being a set of those large legos. I had been meaning to get Cole some as I saw he had an interest in toys like that, but thanks to the Terreri's - mission already accomplished! Hooray! AND Cole loves the legos. Most of the time he sends the legos down his slide, hides them here and there throughout the house and uses the lid to the lego container as a sitting spot and, yes, ever so often he does get around to building things with the legos. Here are some pics I took of him playing with the legos yesterday.

Thanks, Terreri Family!!!

Back Up Bunny

In the past, I have posted about a certain "Bunny" or "Lovey" that Cole has a super obsession with. My parents have recently blessed us with another bunny to have as back up. This is nice because now, I can wash one while he dirties the other one up. The new bunny also says the prayer like the original one did. For the first few seconds of introducing the newest bunny member, Cole looked a little shocked, but I am talking like a few seconds, then he was THRILLED! He ran all around with the two bunnies in hand. A while back Chris had taken a xerox of the bunny to see if Cole would know it was bunny and of course Cole knew exactly what it was. Well, when we received the second bunny from my parents he lined up the two bunnies and the picture of the bunny and was even MORE thrilled. Too funny.

EEZY PEEZY - or not

Melanie and fam bought Cole and Baby Girl an EEZY PEEZY activity center which is soooo great and Cole loves it. It is quite small and fits nicely in the front area where the rest of his toys are. He loves the slide most of all and crawls in and out of the rest of it. He is slightly big for the swing, but that part will be perfect with Baby Girl! Anyway, thank you, TT Melanie!

The name EEZY PEEZY I thought was supposed to elude to how easy the assembly is, however, after all night of assembly, I decided it was not so eezy peezy:) BUT worth every minute!

Trick or Treating 2008

These are very late getting up on the blog, but better late than never. This was Cole's first year of trick or treating, but his second Halloween. A couple of costumes were lent to us for the occasion. One costume was an octopus and one a giraffe. He did a little better with the giraffe I think because it was more like a jacket with a hood. The octopus was soooo adorable, but I think the tentacles that hung on the costume were a little much for him this year. Hopefully next year he will be able to handle the more accessorized costumes. Anyway, we made it to about 10 houses before Cole decide it was time to go home. We went to the houses in our neighborhood this year which was really fun for him. He got the concept of trick or treating right away. This was his first taste of candy, but he really preferred the animal crackers that he got from our neighbors across the street. It's ok, Mommy ws there to handle the rest of the candy for him:) In this series of pics, you can catch a sneak peak belly pic.

Play Date with Liz

So a few weeks ago, Liz and her 3 little ones came over for a play date which ended up being her taking care of me all day. So, she was dealing with 3 kids in a new environment and me and my kid. WOW! Impressive stuff. Anyway, it was super fun to have her all to myself.
