This morning Cole was across the room standing and playing with the musical table. He looked over at me and I started waving at him. He waved back! I wanted to make sure it wasn't a fluke so I let him play and then called his name and waved again. He waved back. We did it several times. He would look at his hand as he waved. He's really getting around very well. He loves to follow Ryker around and play where he is playing. Ryker doesn't seem to be too much of a fan. Once Cole gets over there he either pushes him away or goes and plays somewhere else. Poor guy :(
I noticed on Tuesday the 6th that Cole's bottom left incisor is coming in. My baby has a tooth! And it is sharp. So Ryker got his first tooth at 1 and Cole at 8 months.
This Monday we met Jeff and Darleen at the Astros game with Ryker. Mom and Dad watched Cole b/c I wasn't confident that he would make it or like the noise. Ryker LOVED the game! They passed out American flags for 9/11 and he carried and waved his like a proud little American. We had hot dogs and chips but he was so excited he didn't really eat anything. Before the game started they honored all branches of the military and first responders. There were motorcycle cops and mounted policeman that rode in right beside where we sat. Ryker was more fascinated with the horses. He clapped every time he heard the crowd clap. Right before we left, the Astros hit a home run and he got to see the train move. He waved and said bye-bye to it. It has been so much fun to take him places like that because he's finally old enough to have an excited reaction to things.
A couple of weeks ago mom and dad came out here so we could go wedding shopping for mom. She didn't have a dress for the wedding or the rehearsal. It was a long day but a good one. The kids were awesome and mom found everything she needed for the wedding. We started at Memorial City Mall and we let Ryker play in their awesome play area. It is the largest I have ever seen in a mall. He wasn't scared like he sometimes is. They had several steps and bridges and he was so funny when he would go down the steps. He didn't walk down like normal. He would jump and land sitting on his backside for every step every time. He thought he was big stuff!
I need to get moving here. Ryker wanted to go home with mom and dad so it is just me and Cole. He's playing by himself so I need to make tracks!
