Happy Birthday Cole Jr.

It was our friends Cole and Jasmine Parker's little boys first birthday on Tuesday so as you can see we all went to Crash Crawley's and had some cake, some gifts and a blast. He got tonnes of great loot and seemed to be in a bit of a daze, as was Ciana, but overall had a great time I think. The older kids loved the maze, the ball room and chasing each other around (although tears were shed when it came time to leave) and they have a room specially designed for toddlers 3 and under. This was great for Ciana and Cole, although there was a little boy there "with his annoying sister" who was a precocious seven, and kept saying "excuse me baby, coming through" and then proceed to bulldoze his way down the slide. Oh well, I'm sure in six years Ciana will be that precocious little girl just as I was twenty-some years ago!! You can see that she also investigated most of the balls by putting them in her mouth (I'm sure they sanitize each one nightly, right??) and tried her hand at climbing stairs and, as mentioned, the slide. Lots of fun. Her big day is fast approaching and I can hardly wait. Speaking of new developements, her top two teeth have arrived, literally at the same time, and she has begun standing on her own, albeit for very short bursts of time, but nonetheless...we are very proud.
