Spring Time

Welcome back to blog world??? Whenever I'm out and about doing errands or even at work I think, "Oh, I should blog tonight"....then by the time I get home, I'm exhausted after playing with Cole, making dinner, putting him to bed, etc. How the heck am I going to get better at this? Any thoughts??? Maybe I just need to set aside a certain day/time of the week and just DO IT?! I don't know, I need to do something. Then again, I could just be wasting my time? I doubt anyone, other than me, reads this anyway. Oh well. We'll see. Anyway.....onto the updates.... COLE: Cole just had his 9 month check up. His doctor said he's "absolutely perfect". What mother doesn't love hearing that? =) He's standing 30 inches tall (94%)! and just shy of 23 pounds(85%)! That's right, we feed out kids Miracle Grow out here in the boonies. He's crawling around FAST. Pulling himself up on everything. He can even walk himself back and forth along the couch while holding on. I'm positive he'll be walking before too long. On Sundays, Dave and I take Cole out to breakfast at the local Dairy Queen (yes, in the country the Dairy Queen's serve breakfast, and I'm not talking Egg McMuffin, I'm talking eggs, hashbrowns, bacon, omlets etc). Cole gets his very own 'bear' pancake. This past weekend we took Cole to the park. His favorite part....the swing! Earlier this evening my niece, Malena, had a musical production at her school. Cole and I went and had a blast. Cole was so great the whole time! There was a part during the show where the kids were banging on drums (kind of like 'Stomp'), OH MY GOSH, this was Cole's FAVORITE part. I had to quite taking pictures just to video tape him dancing, laughing and clapping! My mom, who was holding him, and I were laughing so hard we had tears running down our faces. Not to mention all the people sitting around us started watching him too! Too cute. Here's a video, sorry its sideways....

Dave: Dave has been working in Hood River for the past few weeks. Sunday, they're planning on shipping him to Idaho! =( Did I mention that was Mother's Day?? Either way...I'm not too happy about him being gone. At first, the plan was for him to leave on Sunday and come back the following Monday.....well, now the plan is to leave this Sunday and work 180 straight hours, then come home. So basically work 2 straight weeks then finally come home! ugh, I would have complained about 1 week, but would have gotten over it, but 2 weeks? What am I going to do?!?!?! I know for at least one day I'll take Cole down to play with Logan (little friend of Cole's, he's 5 month older than Cole).

Me: Post op has gone well so far. I do have one internal stitch that has shown up below the surface and was SUPER annoying because it was REALLY rensitive to anything that touched it, even clothing. You can still feel it under the skin, but its not as sensitive anymore. The doctor said it was disovable, so it should go away eventually.
We all recently went on a trip to Pendleton to visit a friend. It was lots of fun seeing him again, definatly worth the long drive. Can't wait to see him again.
Other than that, I can't think of a whole lot going on.

Bye for now =)
