Cole's First Trip to the Zoo

We took Cole last weekend to Riverbanks Zoo for the first time! It was a beautiful day! We went on the Sunday after spring break and it really was not crowded at all.  It was a great day!  Cole slept through some of the zoo but thats ok, we are planning another trip in a few weeks with his cousins Madison and Gracen.  I think Coles favorite animals were the tigers, and the gorillas( because those are mommy's favorites :) ). The zoo is supposed to get Kangroo's soon so we can't wait to see them.

Baby Dedication / 6 Months Old

Dear Time, You can slow down any time now!!! my baby is growing up way to fast!   Cole turned 6 months old last month. He has started sitting up on his own, and trying to crawl. He is army crawling and getting up on his hands and knees and rocking. it will not be long now before he is mobile ! We have ALOT of baby proofing to do.  Cole is a busy baby and loves to be moving and into whatever he can! he is also very inquisitive about things.  Still no teeth but his gums are really red and are hurting him so I am sure they will be popping through son! Cole amazes me every single day and makes me smile every time I look at him!

We also dedicated Cole to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in March at Radius Church. We were so blessed to have friends and family join us during this special day.  It was a very emotional day for me. Our pastor, Todd Carnes, dedicated Cole . Todd also preached Carter's funeral 2.5 years ago. While standing at the front of the church,my heart ached that we never got to Carter to the Lord but then I thought, Carter knows nothing about this mean and cruel world. He is in heaven with Jesus, and I can't think of any better place to be.   Todd and his wife have been such a blessing to us and helping us through counseling and chats as we went through the stages of the greif and heartache. Todd and Keri are such an inspiration to us !
