Vacation...in Germany!

No words to describe how great our trip to Garmisch-Partenkirchen was in Germany...so a bunch of pictures must suffice!

Chris' Return!

Sorry so long since posting pictures, but here are some from the Bolar AEF return!  Little lacking on commentary cause we're busy as heck...

Traumatized...and other things!

Ok, so you know its Spring in England when you start to name the spiders in your house rather than kill them, but this one exceeded my threshold for coexistance. Tess found it, of course, and chased it into the corner. Now you can imagine that I was left with the task of deciding how to handle this nasty, HUGE, creature. First I e-mailed my friend who lives nearby, asking if her husband could stop by on his way to work and I also e-mailed my other friend nearby to see if she was afraid of spiders (this was all super early in the morning). Next, I decided I had to take a picture so that you all would actually believe me when I try to explain how gigantic this thing really was. Then, this crazy spider decided to start moving...I went back to look and he had run all the way across the entry way to the other corner. I decided I couldn't wait for someone to get here, so I brought out the "big guns!" Chris I am sure that you can already guess what I did...yes, I got out the vacuum and sucked that furry spider right up! He barely fit in the hose and made a thumping sound when he was being sucked in! Then, for fear that he would jump back out when I turned it off, I left it running as I drug it to the back door and put it outside, where I finally turned it off, and left it out there...indefinitely! Now, I am sure my neighbors think I am nuts, not because of the spider, but because they think I choose to vacuum at 6:30 AM!!

On to more pleasant things! Here is smoochy pants taking a swim in the tub. He loves it! He splashes so much that I am usually covered in water when its all said and done! I couldn't resist this one...check out his hair! It seems to match his sassy personality! LOVE IT!!

We have been trying all kinds of new things lately! Cole loves Yo Baby yogurt, rice cakes, carrot puffs, teething biscuits and veggie pasta! As you see he is also trying out sippy cups! This picture was taken right after I caught him laughing and pouring his water over the edge of his tray onto the carpet! It really has been a fun time with him dispite the mess!

Out with the old and in with the new...or should I say middle aged! Here it is, the new car! The orange beastie finally made its way to the junk yard! The mechanic that we go to said that it wasn't even safe to drive anymore! SO, this new car is fabulous and safe! I am really excited to take a road trip in it! We will have to test it out when our friends Blake and Rob come for a visit in the end of May!
Hope your mornings are starting out a little less eventful than ours :-)
Cheers!

Sing to us Michael!

So smoochy pants is sitting up by himself all the time now and as you can see, he is drooling constantly too! He is having another round of teething like crazy! He now has his two bottom teeth and it seems like he will be getting more in. Yesterday he was inconsolable, so I resorted to dancing in the kitchen with him and singing along with Michael Buble. He loved it! It was the only thing that I could do! When I stopped dancing, he started whining! I say, Whatever it takes!







He is getting to be such a big boy now! 16 pounds 1 ounce at his 6 month check up! They said that he is doing really well! Yeah! Besides his teething issues, he always seems to be happy and smiley!

This thing is not allowing me to type next to the picture! Cole is into everything including paper. He was reading the add when he decided to taste it too!

Milestones!!

We have had a really crazy march here at the Wee house. Cole has had many firsts including this pic of him after rolling onto his tummy! He started eating solids as you can see below, got his first tooth in, and said Da-da!!! Yeah! Mommy finished her class, hosted a squadron coffee and has been trying her hand at making baby food amongst other things :-)

It took a few spoons, but Cole loves sweet potatoes!!

He is also almost sitting up on his own! I loved the look on his face here :-)

Who can resist these faces! All of my kiddos for the month! Wagner is our friends dog, and has been keeping us all company for awhile! He fits in just great! Tess wishes that he would stay forever!

We LOVE Family!

We were able to see so much of our family all in one trip home to the states! Auntie Renee' came just to meet Cole! They were an INSTANT match! She taught him how to "high five!" We missed seeing Uncle Ryan :-( We met and visited with Great Grandma and Grandpa Dittmar 3 times during our visit! This was after a big party where family and friends came over to hang out and meet Cole! It was a wild day, but so much fun! We were grateful that so many people were willing to travel just to see us!





Take Two on the Wee side! We were spoiled once again with a great party, many willing travelers and the chance to finally meet Nana J, Papa Dan, Uncle Tom, Auntie Dani and Cousin Zoe! YEA! The night of the party, all of the guests were able to Skype with Chris for over an hour! It was so nice to include him in the celebration!







Hanging out with Uncle Tom and Cousin Zoe! We can't wait until the kiddos are able to play together again!















Playing with mommy! I have her wrapped around my little finger :-)

Mommy's Old!!

Cole was the perfect birthday present! He was so happy this morning! I was looking at the computer and realized that he was staring at me smiling, and when I smiled back at him, this was the face that I got!

My friends Janell and Julie, and their kiddos Chase and William brought over a pizza party to celebrate! Janell and I realized that we both had the same cute outfit for the boys so we decided to be dorks and dress them the same and take pics to send to their daddy's! The shirts say "Junior Aviator!"

The boys hanging out!! Cole, William, and Chase looking CUTE as can be!

We had to take one with the little jackets too! The boys were OVER it! The next one was of them screaming!
