Cole turned two on February 10th! He's fun, opinionated, sometimes shy, mostly sweet :), and VERY active. He loves to do whatever Hunter is doing. He's a little parrot and a copycat and I just love when they play sweet together. "Hunter" (un-tuh!) is one of the first things he mentions when he wakes up in the morning. He wants to know where Hunter is before we even get downstairs. He's a pickier eater than Hunter was. His favorite food right now is Nutella sandwiches. His vocabulary is growing almost daily. He loves "Melmo", balls, light sabers and Hexbugs. :) His new fun thing is to watch Elmo in the car and now he asks for it every.single.time. He recently went through a phase of only wanting showers but now is back on a bath kick. He's a pretty good napper wherever we can fit it in but our schedule mostly revolves around Hunter's school and activities....such is the life of baby #2!
At his well-check, he was 33.15" (20th %) and 25 lbs, 12 oz (25th%). He's proportionate, but still on the small side. He may shoot up, he may hover around here....we'll see. Hunter was very small until his 2nd birthday so maybe Cole will have a big growth spurt soon. He had a great 2nd birthday party at our house with some animals from Tiny Tails to You joining in on the fun!
Hunter is in Pre-K. He is at the same place he went to school last year. It is the preschool at our church and I just love this little school. He's in to a lot of boy things now....Star Wars, Skylanders, sticks, rocks. He's in a Spanish class offered after school one day a week. He just started in January and officially knows more Spanish that I do already. He likes all sports and likes playing outside. He likes learning about bugs, birds, and astronomy. He got a Wii for Christmas and we like playing Just Dance together. His favorite dinner requests are spaghetti and meatballs, curried spaghetti and lasagna. He has fallen asleep to the CD story version of "The Polar Express" every night before bedtime for the last year and a half.

AJ and I are both doing well. He is busy with work and I am always busy with Junior League, teaching Sunday School and staying involved in Hunter's school. Drop us a line in the comments and say "hi" if you're reading!
