This little beauty is now 11 months old, where has the time gone??? I still feel like he's itty bitty but he's not. He is full of life and has his own little personality! He's DAYS away from walking and LOVES HIS MAMA (we are experiencing some separation anxiety, ok ALOT of separation anxiety)! He is so attached to me, although sometimes frustrating, I do love it! (Sidenote: How cute are babies in a bathrobe???)
This kiddo is still nosey and in to everything! He loves to follow his brother and is desperate to run after him! He lights up when Grant comes in the room, and also screams when he zooms pass him and does something pesky to him! If Grant has something, he wants something too... I've learned snack time can be a challenge, Cole must have a "like" sippy cup and the same snack or you will get a serious meltdown, his feeling will be crushed. When Grant stands up in the middle of the room, Cole stands up too! If Grant pounces on Daddy, Cole is right behind him! Its so stinkin' sweet!
Here is another new favorite thing (see below), he's been doing this about a month. He comes right up to me and holds those sweet arms up and says "UGH" or "Mama" and wants you to pick him up! Its precious!
Cole is also really in to eating. He's been protesting babyfood, can't say that I blame him. Just in the past week he has really boycotted eating and will cry until I give him whats on my plate. Here are some new faves: sweet potatoes, pot roast, mashed potatoes, tomato soup, tilapia, brown rice, tacos and refried beans, eggs, avocado, cantaloupe, tortilla with melted cheese... Im sure there are more but so far he is loving some table food! Which leads me to the fact that he has 3 new teeth coming in which will give us a grand total of 7!
FEISTY... OH IS HE FEISTY! Franklin and I have definitely decided he's gonna be our "man on the run". Everything he does is with full force. He is a determined little fella. At bath time (pardon all the pictures, I couldn't help myself) he finds a toy, particularly a red cup, and will stand up, beat it on the tub and proceed to throw it out. I will pick it up two or three times then after being saturated with water and sick of getting it I tell him NO and give it back for the last time. Watch the series of events and his facial expressions!
Yep... there it is, on the floor
How about this one Mom, can you get it too?
Where is it?
Seriously Ma, I want that toy back, Im getting mad...
officially mad at me..
Yep, its time for bed, crazy hair and all!
This little fella is such a sweet boy and he and his brother have given us so much joy!
I can NOT believe it has been a year since this angel was placed in my arms! Everyone told me that with your second child time flies by, but I never dreamed it would go by this fast. I have relished every moment with him and I thank God each and everyday for two healthy beautiful boys! 
3 months

and 11 3/4 months!
Happy 1st Birthday Cole, we love you SO MUCH!
On Monday we went to Mom's house for a playdate. Tol and Yates are on spring break and they really wanted to have a "boy party" (or in Grants words "boy pawty"). When we got there Mom had a beautiful picnic basket full of fresh fried chicken, fruit, and snacks.. and naturally it was raining. I let Grant stay for the afternoon and Cole and I came back Tuesday morning and we headed to Granny White Park. When I arrived Grant and Little Tol were chanting "Granny White Pawk, Granny White Pawk".. so sweet! Mom and I loaded up all 4 boys and turned them loose when we arrived! Cole can walk behind a push toy but not on his own yet, so I let him in the grass, he picked up anything and everything he could find!
The kids ate a great lunch and then we gave them treats, can you guess what Yates had?
Yep, a brownie! Grant surprisingly chose peanuts, he is really in to cracking them.
Grandaddy surprised us for lunch and was soon recruited by Little Tol to play basketball. Grandaddy was a trooper playing in a suit in 75 degree weather!
Then came my favorite park.. THE SWINGS! I can't help of think of my all time favorite childhood song "Just a Swingin" by John Anderson. I was leery of putting Cole in this because Grant has always hated the swings until just recently. I put Cole in the swing and check it out!
He died laughing and would take his feet out of the holes and prop them up, it was hysterical!
Each kid did their own thing and had a great time and certainly burned off some energy.
Moms friend, Deanna, bravely came and joined us and pushed all the boys on the swings, Thanks Deanna!
Who loves Granny White Park.....
We dooo!!!!!!
