Making the Rounds

Cole and I just got back from our whirlwind visit to Georgia! He took his first flight and earned his wings! The week flew by, as it always does, and there is just never enough time to spend with everyone. Fortunately, Cole did get to see all of his family, and even met his second cousins at the Langston family reunion! Here are some pictures of him from the week.

5:00 a.m.--saying goodbye to Daddy before heading to the airport (dressed in his "Fly Guy" outfit for the occassion!)


The first stop was Aunt Mel's, where he got reacquainted with cousins Caleigh and Jake, and Mimi of course!


He loved playing in the exersaucer and smiling at goofy Aunt Mel.

Crashing briefly before he was back to playing again...I think he slept a total of 30 minutes that first day! He was too afraid he might miss something, I guess!



Once we got up to Mimi's house, we discovered just how much Cole has grown since his last visit. I laughed so hard when I put him in this bouncy seat and he was so heavy that it nearly touched the ground and his legs were hanging off the end!

Mimi also had an exersaucer that he loved...I think we're going to have to get him one of these at home! I was amazed at how much hand-eye coordination he has developed recently and the way he is now playing with toys with more "purpose"! He studied each and every toy on this thing and figured out what all of them are supposed to do!

His other special talent...he can put his entire foot in his mouth! Kids, don't try this at home!

We had a family reunion with some friendly competition. Here's Todd tearing it up in the Corn Hole tournament. Wait a minute, what is he doing on the GA Tech side?



Ok, that's better!


Leo was so sweet with Cole, and Cole was equally interested in him!

The "big kids" had a blast on the waterslide. Here's Nathanael having fun and Aunt Shelby getting her baby love.

Finally, some time to relax. Watching the golf tournament with Poppy...

But not too much time to rest...we were off to see Gigi, Grandpa, and the rest of the Johnson family on Sunday! Somehow I didn't manage to snap a picture of Cole with Grandpa or with Aunt Anna...sorry guys!

What do you think Jack is going to do with that spatula? ;)

Here's the little guy with Uncle Jason.

Aunt Jessica and Uncle Chris got some smiles out of him!

Mimi loved helping with the night time bath routine.

On our last day, we took Cole in the pool for the very first time! The water was a little chilly, because it's been in the 50's at night in Dahlonega. Even the 80 degree days felt so pleasant compared to our Corpus heat!

A very exhausted Mommy and Cole--

See ya next time!
