Happy Father's Day

Chris, Cole and I had a great day today. The day started with a homemade breakfast for Daddy - eggs, sausage and monkey bread! Delicious! Then, we spent the day hanging out with Cole and Daddy getting some quality time. Cole is working on perfecting sitting up, so we cleared out the coffee table to give him lots of carpet to work with. He did a great job, and by the time we are in CA next week I think he will have sitting down.

The US open was on, so Cole threw on a sweater vest and hat to watch with Dad. I think Cole already is hooked. There is no escaping golf as a part of his future.Chris and I topped the night off with steaks and a bottle of wine....all in all, a perfect day!

Yes, I still plan to blog!

Well, it has been a while since I shared an update from Arizona. All is well in the land of heat - we have just been incredibly busy! I am going to try to give the quick version of what we have been up to, and throw in some recent photos of Cole so you can all see how he is looking now that he is almost 5 months!

SEA LIFE Arizona officially opened on May 14 and it has been nonstop ever since. The aquarium is doing great. Too great at times. I have been literally burried in work ever since the opening. My hectic work schedule has me staying at work a couple of times a week until around 9, which has given Chris and Cole some great father -son time. Chris is so good with Cole - they love to hang together. Cole already has seen the French Open, Stanley Cup, NBA playoffs, etc. I know babies shouldn't watch a lot of TV but they are just too stinkin cute when they sit on the couch together.

Cole is getting big - he was 13 lbs on May 17, so I am sure he is even bigger now. He is still on the light side for his age (25% percentile) and long (75% percentile). He is a really happy baby - loves to smile. In recent weeks he also has started laughing a lot, rolling on to one side (but not over) and eating rice cereal. We are very proud parents.
Chris and I celebrated our 4 year anniversay on May 30. Our friends Lizzie and Greg watched Cole and we went out to dinner. Hard to believe it has already been 4 years of marriage.
Sorry for the one long post, but I thought it would be easier to do a quick catch up rather than trying to post seperately for all that has gone on in the last month!
