The Cote Family

learning to climb

chillin with daddy

about to fall off the couch.....

climbing in the fridge to get a closer look...

sat on Jaron's head...

loving the slide...he climbed up in several times and stood up....if I tried to help him he cried....

finally starting to feed himself after one week at pre-k and tasting all sorts of new things: chicken, peaches, pears, pineapple, corn dog, peas, noodles...he hasn't cleared his plate but it's a HUGE step for him to be tasting each thing. stuff he's never had before.....when we try at home he just cries so I think seeing a whole table full of kids his age eating the same thing he feels kinda like it's "normal".

saying his bedtime prayer...

ahhh....nothing like a push pop

wearing his skateboarding helmet and told daddy he was playing football....

Beautiful faces...

I think he's gonna be a genius....he cried if we took this concordance away...LOVED IT!

I love his eyes....

This is the new face he learned...he says "Oooooo"

Being "gentle" with Oma...

Wearing Jacob's shirt

Skateboarding & Aquarium

kisses for Oma

Fun at the aquarium

He got a new skateboard.....posing for the camera

He got this flattened penny at the aquarium...on the way home he said "mommy, Where's my penny" I turned around and this what I saw! :-)

sleeping in the hotel in NC

I guess he was pretending to be a blow fish

Aquarium & Skateboarding...

Jaron kissing his grandmother (Chris's Mom)

A trip to the aquarium

Got a new skateboard...

Took a few spills...

But that didn't stop him..

Trying some cereal...took ONE HOUR to eat this bowl...

In the tunnel at the aquarium

Asleep in the car.

Summer fun!

Jacob loves to ride his scooter....he could do this one hundred times a day and never get bored. He's growing so fast. He's already 4 feet tall. One more foot and he'll be as tall as mommy. Oh my! I asked what happens when he's taller than me and I want a hug? And he said "Mommy I'll still hug you and love you" that's my sweet little charmer.

Big Strong Muscles!

Jaron decide sunday at church he wanted to be like the "BIG" boys in his sunday school and eat white powdered donuts. GUESS what....He ate ALL 4 of them!!! I almost cried when the teacher told me. So we took some home that day and he ate 4 more. So I bought some at the store and he'll be eating them every day now. He loves them. He's learning to step outside his comfort zone and try new foods. He told his teacher he's gonna get "Big strong muscles"

And here they are.....they love to show their muscles in their "Muscle shirts"

Ahh waffle fries!

my silly little boy..I finally cut the little curls he had in the back...he looks like such a little gentleman now...he's cutting more teeth every day it seems like. He laughs a lot and tries so hard to talk to us but hasn't said much more than ball and dada

Not feelin the hat mom

O yeah lovin the waffle fries!

Keep 'em coming..

He climbed up in that slide all by himself....1st time climbing on anything really... GREAT!

Fireworks and silly faces...

Jacob loves sparklers!!!

And I can't seem to get a normal picture of him anymore...he always makes silly faces now....

They loved these hats....Jacob called them Chef hats...

Notice the fudge brownie samples on the counter behind Jaron....my kids don't even ask for them...I've always told them chocolate and coke is for adults. :-)

Eat more chicken

1st time holding a sparkler....after it went out he dropped it and went to pick it up and guess what...he grabbed the wrong end and burnt his pinky finger....

SLAM DUNK!

Went to chic fil A today and they got hats...Jaron loved it....he calls it "eat more chicken" not chic fil a. "Mommy I want to go to eat more chicken"....I said are you gonna eat some chicken and he said NO.
