2011_09_11 - Helping clean up

Cole really loves to Swiffer/vacuum the floors! He's a big helper

LA Brazilian Day 2011



On Saturday we went to the La Brea Tar Pits where they hosted the 7th annual LA Brazilian day with lots of booths, food and of course MUSIC! To tell you the truth Cole wasn't that much into everything, but he loved running around the park, especially the huge grassy hills, making mommy and daddy do lots of wind sprints up and down the hills :) Talia was trying to teach him to roll down hill, but he didn't bite.

Will Rogers hike and Polo match



Today we went for a great hike at Will Rogers State park. Cole walked about 1/4 of it on his own! And as a pleasant bonus we saw a polo match afterwards, which he enjoyed VERY much.

Favorite sightseeing item of the day for him? All the horse droppings on the trail! Haha :) He would constantly shout out "kah-ka" every time he would see a pile. hehehe

And now introducing Cole to the stage

Cole Rocks! This past weekend we went to 2 different music events and Cole was in heaven. He claps along, stomps his feet and even runs up on stage to dance.

On Saturday we went to the local bookstore where they played the ukulele and read stories. At first Cole sat on my lap and then after looking around to all the big kids he promptly got off my lap to sit on his own. He scooted up to be right in front and when the scarfs came out he was leading the charge in twirling around and playing peek-a-boo.

On Sunday, we went to the Will Geer Theatre in Topango to see Birdie's Playhouse. After the first song, Birdie stopped the music to ask me Cole's name. She told everyone in the Theatre to look at him since he was doing perfect Flamenco arms and stomping his feet. She said that he inspired a Flamenco song and changed her play list so everyone could dance along with Cole. After, Birdie was looking for a volunteer to dance on stage with the elephant. Cole runs up and climbs up the steps to get the stuffed elephant and then dances with it while he is up on stage. Keep in mind he is the youngest kid there and he is loving it! He is a total little performer. And then when it is time to say good bye, he waves bye to EVERYONE and gives hugs and kisses. Everyone knows his name from the Flamenco and elephant dance and they are all saying "Bye Cole!" He is such a sweet little guy! (The only down side is I was without my camera ... bad mommy!)

First Day at School

Our little boy is all grown up! Yes he still gives us kisses and pats our legs but now he is a school boy. He went to school for his trial day and as soon as he saw the other kids he didn't look back. Now I've been meaning to write for a while about all the cute things he does but I'm just not good at it so I have to list them out - keep in mind this isn't in any order.
1. Gives kisses. On command, just because, or to say he's sorry - the kisses come often and freely
2. Peek a boo. Yes probably every other kid does this but when he hides behind the curtains and plays peek a boo it is just too cute!
3. More with the hand motion. He has the highest pitch voice and really cannot talk much so when he says "Moe, moe" I cannot help but give in.
4. Loves the garden. Every day I come home and Cole takes my hand and leads me to the garden to pick whatever is red. Then he will just shove whatever is red in his mouth -- this summer it has been strawberries and tomatoes. Like father like son. Cole will demolish 2-3 tomatoes a day!
5. Wave hi and bye at EVERYONE. He does it completely appropriately but he just loves engaging random people in waving.

OK I'm sure there are a million cute things about Cole but I will save them for later posts .... I hope there are some. Now I just have to remind Vadim about posting pictures for July and Aug!

Videos from January





Who knew the little guy can walk?! He surprised us by walking all over the futon, I guess we cannot get rid of it until he is walking without it!

Morning walk




So, during our family morning walk, Cole all of a sudden decides he doesn't like sitting in his stroller and needs to stand to point out the airplane. Sorry buddy, you have to be strapped in now!
