COLE HAM
August 8, 2007 -- 30 months old --- 2 and half years old
Cole is big! He is truly a big kid now. He weighs and is tall
We have had a busy summer so far. We spent 11 days in Maui, HI which was
amazing. Cole really loved the beach.
He loves the water and swimming, but also just playing in the sand. His
most favorite thing was definitely the Old Lahaina Luau.
He was entranced by the dancing. When we got back from our trip, Cole
(all on his own) donned a headress that he had made
at a kids festival, seven bracelets up his arm, five necklaces around
his neck and bracelets on his ankles and he danced!
and danced and danced! I will put a video of this up on the website for
you to see.
In June we went camping at Lake Tahoe, Nevada Beach Campground. It was
cooler than we would have liked,
so no swimming, but a day relaxing on the beach playing in the sand. Cole
also toasted his first marshmellow.
He liked the roasting and not the eating part. Cole also slept very well
in the tent. The first night he slept through
the whole night with only one “Mama” screamed out and then
back to sleep.
July was spent with friends at the park and swimming at the pool. We went
to the 4th of July fireworks and watched them
from a good distance away so that they were not too loud, but still a
great show. We spent a few days in Oakland enjoying
our old stomping ground. Cole picked up baseball and is now a fanatic.
He wakes every morning wanting to go out in the
backyard and play baseball. He wears a baseball shirt and baseball pants
and baseball shoes. He had one red shirt with a
baseball on it which was worn day after day after day. it was hard to
get it washed. After a 4 day stint of no washing, we
finally went out to get him another baseball shirt. But he still wants
to wear a specific one each day. so i have to try to get
them washed when I can. Luckily he found some of his own pants with he
calls baseball pants and we have a few pairs of these.
We bought him some bats, soft balls and a glove. The T ball set we bought
gets no use. Cole prefers that we through
the ball to him to hit. he is getting very good at hitting, better at
catching and really great at running. He likes to play the pitcher,
the catcher and the umpire and the batter. He loves to throw his bat down
and run.... home team he yells out, meaning home run.
He yells out strike one! We found a really great book to read about baseball
where this family goes to a game and they talk
about what is happening and who everyone is. he loves it.
March 3, 2007 Our one and only visit to the snow this year. Cole climbed
up this huge snow pile in front of the house/hotel we were staying in.
yes, that is the roof line that you see.
