Our Baby Boy is 1!!!!!




How quickly a year flies by! Cole turned one yesterday, so I thought I'd post a couple pictures from his "big debut". A year ago yesterday I was being induced at St. Joseph's Hospital in Milwaukee--very eager to be done being SO huge! Things went smoothly and at 5:57 pm Cole William made his entrance--all 9lbs and 7oz of him. I remember my doctor telling me as soon as he was born--"this is a BIG baby, Katie." I took one look at his hands and knew he was a big boy! I just kept thinking "Please let him be under 10 lbs." He was big and ADORABLE! He had chubby little cheeks already!

Now we can't imagine life without our little Cole-man. He has brought us so much laughter and joy! Here are just a few reasons why we celebrate Cole:


  • his sly, 4-toothed grin that he flashes when he knows he's in trouble

  • the way he charges into whatever he's doing like a "bull in a China shop"(and has the battle scars to proove it!)

  • he has shown us the meaning of "all boy!"

  • the giggle that comes with the fact that he is ridiculously ticklish

  • the amount of sound he produces (happy or sad--it's all the same.)

  • he can say "mama" and "dada" and melt our hearts by doing so

  • he has the roundest belly, roundest cheeks, and roundest head you ever did see...

  • his adoration for big sister Annika

  • his ability to cover himself from head to toe with whatever he's eating (I say he eats like Cookie Monster)

  • his big cheesy smiles that make his eyes disappear

  • his endless curiousity

Cole, we are so glad that God gave you to us. We love you!!!
