We have been cooped up inside too long so since it was above freezing (not by much, but we dealt with it) we went outside for a bit before dinner tonight. Clearly, Cole was elated. He barely has a foot on the ground in the above shot.
Laughing hysterically at Mommys comedy a la Dick Van Dyke (aka tripping over everything I see and grunting).
Apparently I figured out the trick to get Cole to tolerate the camera and have fun and actually look like he's having fun. Just be a crazy fool acting like you are about to fall over.
Every single shot from above is a belly laugh face. It almost looks like a grimace at times, but I can assure you he laughed so hard that he fell down a couple of the stairs on the big piece of equipment. Fortunately he was unharmed. Maybe I went overboard with making him laugh.
I just also have to mention this because it is so cute it makes my heart smile. Cole is saying "Daddy, where are we?" in a sing-song voice. Actually, even if he is looking for a toy he does this. Let's say he is looking for a letter A for his alphabet puzzle "A, where are we?" I love how he says we instead of you! His vocabulary is absolutely huge now, even though not everything is understandable. It gets better every day! Enjoy his joy!
