Jedi Cole

Did you know that I'm into Star Wars? I've seen Episode I and II and every light saber battle I could find on YouTube. I've also got a book about lots of different people in Star Wars and I've memorized their names and their special moves. I make mommy quiz me all the time and I can remember them all. Tonight mom finally figured out how to make me a Jedi outfit. It works for me!

Bubbles for me?

Cole is trying to teach me to blow bubbles. So far no luck, but mommy keeps telling me that once upon a time Cole was just learning too.

Cole's Christmas Caroling

Fine motor skills

Mommy doesn't often break out the crayons for me. Sometimes I eat them and sometimes they make me mad and I throw them everywhere. Today I did a bit better. Maybe she doesn't realize I'm a year and a half old now. That is soooo old. Anyway, I did my best to create a masterpiece.

Christmas shopping

I love to go Christmas shopping at the mall. Although we are always too busy playing in the mall playground and eating ice cream to actually go shopping. Let me start over. I love playing and eating in the mall!

I'm worn out!

Santa!

I saw the real Santa! Not a fake one with a fake beard, but the real one. I told him that I wanted a candy cane and Star Wars Legos. I'm sure he'll put them in my stocking because I am on the nice list.

Luke came with me but he did not want to talk to Santa or sit on his lap. Oh well, I'm not sure if Santa brings toys to babies anyway.

Wild Wizard

Got my magic hat, magic wand, and magic boots. I can even make myself disappear!

Dentist!

Made it through my first dental cleaning and set of x-rays today. I got to have bubble gum toothpaste and they gave me lots of presents when it was over. I was the model patient. The tv on the ceiling playing Dora the Explorer probably had something to do with that.

Dressed up

Mommy took pictures today for our Christmas cards. I waited until after our photo shoot to spill juice and food all over my clothes. Here are a few pics that didn't make the cut.

Don't we look like angels? We fought over the box and I won. Cole's showing off his jumping skills. This is boring! No more pictures!

Dress code

I'm not Cole. I'm a werewolf building a werewolf house. Thank you very much.

Family

Did I forget to mention that Thanksgiving is also all about family? Especially cousins! I saw cousins from Daddy and cousins from Mommy. I love them all.

My cousin Joey let me wear his football helmet. How cool is that?!
My cousins Grace and Jason shared their cheesy bunny crackers with me.

Thanksgiving dinner

Thanksgiving is when you go to Cleveland and eat lots of yummy food. I did my best to try everything but really all I wanted was butter on my roll, cranberry jelly, and dessert. Because I ate so much cranberry jelly, grandma gave me a can to take home. I love it!

Thanksgiving fun

Thanksgiving is about:
1) watching movies in our new minivan as we drive to and from Cleveland
2) hugs and kisses with Grandma, Grandpa, and lots of other people I can't remember
3) feeding turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, and corn to Abby
4) eating whipped cream, grapes, and zucchini bread

Yum

Action shot with Grandpa!
