September 2013

Pictures from our September:

Sibling love

Helping Nani make muffins

Watching Poppa play baseball!

Hanging out at Poppa's game

Bribery!  Eating ice cream for using the potty!

Love they that can both ride in the cart at Costco

We went downtown to the sand building contest one weekend.  They had a sand play area/building area for the kids

Letterman statue.  Leno was on the other side

Amazing detail!

Checking out the tall ships

It was a gorgeous day on the bay!

Checking out the gorillas at the Safari Park

Almost as tall as a gorilla

They have a splash zone for the kids at the Safari Park.  We went on a HOT day so this was a fun treat after our tram ride. 

Mandatory rhino picture

The lion was SO close!

Practicing her swimming

Tea Party with bear

They are fundraising to build a new playground by our house so we participated in a 5K to help support the project. Playing before the run. 

Cole and his buddy Cali

Riding the train at the mall

Lounging!

So sweet after waking up

Walking Cali to get the mail all by herself!

Working on going potty

Happy boy!

And... probably the most exciting news in September is that we bought a house!  More to come on that... 

7 months!

Cole turned 7 months on September 17th! 

\

He is such a happy baby as long as he is fed and it's not nap time! 

He's eating solid foods like a champ (surprise, surprise) :)  He hasn't really turned down any fruits/veggies but definitely has his favorites:  sweet potatoes and squash!  His least favorites would be green beans and bananas. 

LOVES duck duck bath, especially if big sister Sydney comes to visit him during bath time. 

 His sleep is still hit or miss.  He is taking 2-3 naps a day and will wake up 2-?? times a night.  Now that we are getting settled in our new house, we will be working on this - I think I have said that for the past several months! :)

He is still scooting like crazy and can get around pretty quickly.  He can get up on all 4's and will rock back and forth but is not officially crawling yet.  We keep thinking any day.

He enjoys people watching, balls and anything he can get in his mouth. 

Happy 7 months, little buddy.  

Multitasking

Singing her ABC's while sitting on the potty :)

August Pictures

Pictures from August from our phones:

Cole scooting all around!

Fun on the swings. 

We were walking home from the playground and I saw Sydney's hand reaching over to grab Cole's.  So sweet. 

Feeding the ducks at Lake Miramar

Riding the carousel at Belmont Park

We were walking home from the school down the street one morning and Sydney asked to stop and look at something.  I couldn't understand what she was saying but come to find out she was fascinated by the water floating into the drain. 

Riding the rhino at the Wild Animal Park

Checking out the elephants

Nani & Sydney riding in the jeep

Daddy took Sydney down to the last Chargers practice of the season.  

Touchdown!

Cousin Ryan flew in from New York to attend his sophomore year at SDSU.  He crashed at Nani & poppa's for a night...I'd say he was relaxed!!

Playing in the sprinklers.  She was so excited when I told her YES!, she could run through them!!

Checking out a small childrens museum

Cole happily played with this toy at the museum for awhile

Picking out groceries at the store

Checked out a Padres game

Snacks at the game. Her favorite part was getting a balloon made by the clowns. 

Love them. 

Sydney loves when Cole is with me in the morning when she gets up.  She usually asks for Cole to get in her crib with her. 

Happy babies. 

Both kids had doctors appointments for their well baby checks in August.  Their doctor is right across from the zoo so we headed there after.  Koala bear makes getting shots all better!

I walked in the other room to see Sydney rocking her baby doll.  So sweet!

Cheese!

Love these two!
