Diaper model
I realized that I haven't posted a photo in a while, so I thought I'd share a couple pictures of Cole hanging out in his diaper.

Turning into a morning person
I've never been a morning person. I like to get up slowly (preferably as late as possible) and get ready at a leisurely pace. Well, that has definitely changed since Cole entered our lives. He likes to get up early. Sometimes 4am, which I don't even know if you can consider morning. That's more like the middle of the night. And sometimes more like 6am or 7am, which is much more manageable but still early. If it was anything else waking me up that early, I'd be grumpy. Just ask Cory. But there's just something about a baby in the morning. Once fed, Cole is the happiest little guy you can imagine. He's almost giddy. Lots of smiles and talking. You just can't help but smile yourself. No matter how tired I am, I'm immediately filled with energy. It's the best way to start the day.
This morning Cole got up at 6am, so we had a couple of hours together before I had to head off to work. As part of our normal routine, I was changing his diaper and we were chatting. As he was just lying there in his diaper I started tickling him, which I've done many times before. But this time it was different. He started laughing! It was the cutest thing I've ever heard. A little belly laugh that turned into this chuckle. It's moments like those that make it not so hard to be turning into a morning person.

New Years in Sunriver
We have started a wonderful tradition with some close friends of spending New Years in Sunriver. It's several days full of friends, food, fun and this year ... SNOW! Yeah! We were excited to introduce Cole to this experience. So we got over there on Friday night in time to watch the Beavers play in the Emerald Bowl at the Maloney's house. They beat Maryland 21-14, which was a good way to start off the festivities.
Saturday morning Shahnaz and her little helpers made pancakes for breakfast. Thanks, guys, they were delish!
Then we headed outside to enjoy what would be the first encounter with snow for all of the littlest ones - Cole, Rory and Quincy.
Rory got this great sled for Christmas, which was perfect for pulling the babies - and a good workout for the adults!
Check out our snowman.
Saturday afternoon Rob and Keli arrived from Seattle. We ordered pizza for dinner and spent the night hanging out at the house. We had a little bit of excitement when Brittany called to let us know that they had lost power at their house and the electric company said that all of Sunriver would be losing power for an hour. You've never seen a group move so fast to locate candles and get a fire going! Luckily, we kept our power all night so our alternative sources of light weren't needed, but in a way it was kind of fun.
Sunday we spent the morning at home playing and relaxing.
In the afternoon some of us headed into Bend to the Childrens Museum while others hung around the house. That night Cory BBQed burgers, Ginie made a yummy salad, and Shahnaz whipped up some mashed potatoes. Rob got a surge of creativity and decided to see what he could do with snow and mixing bowls. Here's what he came up with (this picture really doesn't do it justice)-- a little snow village scene. It was so cool and the kids loved it. Owen kept saying "Thank you, Rob". Very sweet.
And that was the end of the fun for most of the household. Sunday night half of the household was up most of the night with the stomach flu, which lasted through most of the day Monday. Needless to say, our New Years Eve was a bit tamer that usual! It certainly wasn't the way that we had envisioned ringing in the New Year, but luckily everyone is on the road to recovery now.
