Happy 1st Birthday Cole!






My little buddy is already one years old. We can't believe that he is one. Cole is by far the one of 2 best things taht has ever happened to me and Dave. Without Cole who knows if I would of ever been able to get pregnant. We know that he is ours and he just had to come another way to be ours. We love him so much and know that because of him we have the other best thing which is Paisley and Presley. He is such a handsome little boy and truly is the happiest baby ever. He never cries and he is so sweet. Here are some things that Cole loves to do at one years old.
-Walking. He has been walking since 8 1/2 months old and is so busy.
-Loves to play with toys. He loves to play with his cousins and wants to be as big as they are. he copies everything they do and thinks that they are hilarious.
-Talks all the time. He says multiple words including: one, batman, football, mama, dada, baba, chels, more, yes, no, baby...that is all off the top of my head!!
-loves to brush his teeth
-follows his dad EVERYWHERE
-follows his grandma like he is her shadow
-loves the broom, and vacuum, (can you tell he is grandma's little man)?
-going up and down stairs
-playing outside
-climbing under furniture
-playing ball
We are so thankful for our buddy! We love you Cole


Little update on twins and our life.
I get asked on a daily basis the same questions so i thought i would answer some of them taht everyone is wondering
Was i on clomid?
heavens no. I had a two month old when I found out I was pregnant, need i say more?
How do you do it?
This one I don't have an answer except for I just do. There are so many times I wonder how am I going to do it tomorrow? But the answer is you just do it is your life and you just need to embrace it. I also have had the best support from family. My mom has been unbelievable and I swear between her and Chelsea they take the babies at least 2 a week so i can sleep through the night. That has been my saving grace. So thank you to family!
What do you do when all 3 are crying?
This one luckily has not happened very often, but I usually just deal with it. I have learned how to balance both twins on me and I can usually distract Cole and play with him until he is happy.
How has Cole done with the twins? Cole has done great! He does get jealous but he is such a good boy and tries to be so soft with them.
Are they identical?
no Paisley and Presley look so different its crazy. I also get if I can tell them apart..(which i thnk is such a silly question) but yes I could in the hospital just by looking at them for a split second.
How are the nights?
the nights are hard. Cole still wakes up a couple times and Paisley and Presley, well they are newborns. But once again i am so thankful to family and most of all David.
Those are the questions I get asked most often but if you ahve any other questions let me know! :)
The twins are so much fun and they are such sweet little girls. Presley is our little drama queen and Paisley is our little sweetheart! We truly are so grateufl for both of them and cannot imagine our life with out them. A year ago dave and i had no kids and here we are a year later with 3! We are so blessed!!!

Wow, I remember reading about when you adopted Cole. I was so jealous, he was so cute! You are amazing and you are totally right, 'you just get up & do it because this is your life.' I love being a mom but sometimes I'm so tired...(but we are soooo blessed to have kids in our lives), you astound me with your abilities Dee!
