Labor Day weekend....

 ...yay for  a 3 day weekend!! Casey had planned on going to AL but Cole and I had not. After talking to Whitney and Emily, Cole and I packed up for a day with them. It's hard to believe that Allie is almost 2 months and we still had not seen her and three months since we had seen the Kennedy crew, not to mention there new river house :) We squeezed in a little daddy time, but he was hanging out with Uncle Brad at The Haney's house since it was opening weekend of college football, a VERY big deal. It must be celebrated well. Hehehehe
So Saturday morning we had a little mini photo session with a teacher friend (pics for moms birthday!) and then we were off to AL. We got to Athens around noon and headed over to Emily (aka Auntie Em) and Tyler's house to visit and see there new addition, Miss Allie Montgomery. We ate lunch and just hung out talking and laughing for the afternoon. Such a good time with sweet friends. Cole was a fan of Miss Allie for sure!

Loving on Miss Allie Sandlin

Say cheese Allie and Cole

Then we were off to the River to hang out with the Kennedy's for dinner and to spend the night. Cole and Carley had such a good time playing together. They took on the role of brother and sister. It was a love and fight kind of night :) Cole took on the role of annoying little brother! Ha! They were so funny to watch. Carley and Cole are 9 months apart. I found out I was pregnant with Cole on August 13,2010 and Carley was born August 22, 2010. Carley is so cute and quit the little talker. She kept referring to Cole as "Cole Coggin". "Momma, what's Cole Coggin doing?" So sweet. I know they will grow up to be great friends like there momma's and daddy's.

A little bath time fun!

Giving each other love :)

Being 16 months old is SO much fun! Cole has always had a good personality, but it is coming out more and more. As well as words and expressions. His things right now are holding his hands up when he doesn't know something (like he is saying "I don't know?"), no is still a favorite! we do not hear yeah as much :) he says shoe "shew" and baby "baba" and blowing his nose. He is such a mess. He has definitely started eating more and so far he is a good eater. He LOVES fruits. I will be so sad for all the fruit to go out of season. We have been enjoying our watermelon, blueberries, bananas and cantaloupe. Those are his favorites for sure. He doesn't seem to like strawberries, I guess he got that weird trait from me! Although, Casey is not a big fan of them either, but he will eat them. School is still going well and he seems to really enjoy it. Casey said he is eager to get down and tell him "bye-bye" when he drops him off in the mornings. We are just having such a good time with him. We wonder at times, "what did we do before Cole?" hahaha....Apparently had a lot of free time. He keeps us on our toes but I would not trade it for anything. I truly do realize what a blessing he is and thank God for my little miracle. I am SO blessed to be this little guys mom for sure!

Looking big in his new tennis shoes! :) and trim from Mrs. Whitney
