Cole turned one on July 14, 2017. I will have a separate blog on his birthday. Cole went from being a baby to being a toddler in what feels like a day. He was very picky about eating and constantly spitting up. He was taking formula in a bottle. On his birthday he switched to milk in a sippy cup and never looked back. He also started eating everything and stopped spitting up. He can walk and has eight teeth. He can say so many words he will be talking before we know it. He tries so hard to keep up with Alexis. He is so happy and has the best laugh.
Alexis turned 32 months on June 25, 2017. She is so funny and sweet. She is always helping Cole. She shares her food with him and tries to cheer him up if he is crying. She can carry on a conversation with us and really understands so much. It is so fun to watch her learn and grow. We are working on potty training and it is going really well. She is very motivated by mini marshmallows:)
Here are some pictures over the last month.

Alexis's friend Asher came for a visit. They had fun playing in the blue car. So nice they can push each other around.

Alexis knows how to open the camera function of our phones and take selfies. This is one of the one hundred she took:)

Alexis LOVES eating bell peppers. She eats them similar to an apple, then let's me cut them up.

They are getting so big. Alexis used to beg us to push her around. Now they can push each other around
Quick rain shower while in the pool
Happy 4th of July
We watched a friends fish for a week. Alexis fed Mr. Jingles every morning
Smile for our 4th of July picture. You are both wearing red, white and blue so I must capture the moment:) Just love their expressions.
We took the kids to their first movie, Despicable Me3. We enjoyed popcorn and cocktails. We made it through most of the movie before they were over it. Remembered at the last minute to snap a picture so this is the best one...Allen with popcorn in his mouth.
Such a cute dress. Alexis picks out her shoes and socks everyday and the socks never match. I think it looks cute.
Cole and Jessica enjoying the pool
Playing blocks
Alexis received this super cute owl for watching Mr. Jingles the fish
We went to a friends birthday party. Alexis is in the background playing with the slide

Playing with letters
This reminded me of Lite Bright. The kids loved it
Love this picture of her riding her bike in her rain boots
Such a cutie
Alexis loves Thomas the Train. I got these PJ's second hand. She wears them all the time. This is her "roaring" face. She is imitating me...I know it:)
Date night. We are trying to get out every few weeks and try a different bar/restaurant for drinks after the kids are asleep.
Happy One Year Coley Bears
