When I look back on February 20, 2009, I remember the happiest day of my life. Despite being exhausted and overwhelmed at the responsibilities of caring for a newborn, I knew that this was the moment I had been waiting for my whole life, and it was even better than I ever imagined it could be! I had my precious baby Cole, and Jeff was home from Iraq...finally we were a family!
Things have only gotten better ever since! Cole has filled our hearts with so much joy that we find ourselves asking, "How did we ever live without him?" We know we are so blessed to have this healthy, happy, precious boy in our lives.
So, to celebrate the big occasion, we had a party at our house. My parents, Cole's Mimi and Poppy, came in town for the big day. We invited over a few friends and neighbors to eat pizza, cake and ice cream. Cole had his very own cake to smash in his face, and I think it's safe to say that he has quite a sweet tooth! He opened a few presents, but mostly he wanted to play with his friends and crawl all over the house until the "sugar high" wore off.
The cake on the left was for the guests and the one on the right is the one that Cole got all to himself! It actually came with the sheet cake for free...otherwise we would not have given him such a huge cake!
Here is Cole and his special guests, Nick and Evie. He had a great time playing with them and was great about sharing his toys.
Eating cake and loving it!
Opening his gifts...thank you everyone!!!
Earlier in the day, we took Cole to get his first haircut. He did NOT enjoy it, but he did need it! He still has some of his curls in the back, but we had to trim some of it off before he ended up with a mullet!
All in all, it was a great day! I'll end this post with a couple of photos from Cole's first days of life.
