HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!
Cole is exactly 16 months today!
Alice & Cole are loving the nice days we are getting here and there. Cole cries to go outside, and when we have to come back inside, I have to carry him in kicking and screaming. Today it is about 48 degrees, and Alice just ran outside in the back to play on the swing set, in nothing else but her swimsuit. Surprising to anyone? Not if you know Alice!!!! :)
The basement is coming a long. The kids love playing down there! Alice can hardly wait for her playroom to be finished.
As part of finishing the basement, we are putting in a kitchen desk. I am so thrilled!!!! Anything that makes my life more organized is a great thing, and so appreciated!
Cole is such a climber, so of course right away his climbs in through the cupboard to stand on the shelf, and couldn't be more proud of himself.
Maverick, he was just looking so cute after getting groomed, I had to take his picture!
I'm afraid to say that Alice's days of napping are nearing an end. I am not ready to give them up yet, but apparently she is. We are down to a few a week. Just the other day she comes out of being in her room for about 15 min and says on her way down the stairs in the happiest voice she could muster "I had a good rest Mom!" I'm glad the camera was nearby, because this is what she was dressed in and carrying down to me. She then says, "Do you want a cookie?" I just had to laugh. She went to bed in normal clothes, but if you know Alice at all, you know she would rather be in a swimsuit, yes even when it's snowing outside, or a leotard, or jammies! This girl is a funny one!
Apparently she really did need a nap, because a couple of hours later she fell asleep on the couch!
Cole's latest thing is to turn on the bathtub water and play, for the first 5 minutes it was just to do this...play with the water, but now he gets in every chance he gets, fully clothed. He has a bath in his clothes every time I'm in the shower or trying to get ready!
He is also into Mommy's shoes lately! So Cute!
When Cole was 14 months old, he started climbing out of his crib. I was shocked, he is so young. So we took out all his bumper pads, thinking that would stall him for a little bit, but it only stalled him for about 2 weeks. So now he sleeps with a crib tent around his bed!

Mexican Riviera Cruise
We also just got back from the most fabulous vacation ever! We had the time of our lives! We went on a cruise with 1o other couples in our neighborhood.
I seriously love these people.
To say we had a blast is an understatement!
One of the many highlights was the zip lining adventure in Puerto Vallarta. They are ranked in the top 10 in the world. It was AMAZING & BEAUTIFUL!
At the Hilton Resort in Cabo!

You are gorgeous! I'm not looking forward to my girls changing their clothes on their own. I do enough laundry already! Talmage has been in a crib tent for a while now and he has torn his to shreds but it still keeps him in his bed! I love your posts!
How fun! Looks like an amazing month! Sad I missed that cruise. Love the desk!
Alice makes me giggle!! I love seeing her in a swim suit in the middle of the snow storm!! Can't wait for Cole to be a little bit bigger when Cameron can show him the ropes!!
