When you know it's going to be a nice fall weekend in MN, you try to pack in as much as you can, knowing it may be your last chance before the snow flies. So, we took advantage of the gorgeous fall weather this past weekend and decided to head out to the apple orchard.
Oddly enough, I don't have any pictures with apples in them. All Cole really cared about were the animals, tractors and various dogs that were out and about.
We thought he would enjoy climbing on the hay bales, but it turns out he didn't like the feel of it and didn't like it sticking to his socks.
We met Ben's folks and Oma treated her grandson to his first hayride.
And on the way home Cole showed us how "Joe Cool" he was - just chillin' mom!
And what a perfect weekend to help Daddy wash the car. Last time Cole "helped", he ended up eating the soap suds, so we had to keep a close eye on him.
And he actually helped this time. He would scoop up some suds and take it over to the car and wipe it down. Very cute.
On Friday as I was driving by our local fire station I noticed that there was an open house this past Sunday. Cole has been really into fire trucks and sirens lately so we figured he would enjoy it.
So many buttons to push, so little time. Luckily they can disable the buttons so the kiddies don't raise the ladder or turn on the sirens. :)
Already riding in the back of a cop car!
And a couple pictures from tonight - Cole making some expected and unexpected messes!
We're trying to let Cole feed himself so he can get used to using a fork and spoon and for the most part he does a pretty good job. But with yogurt (or yo-yo as Cole calls it) he gives up and chugs it straight from the container.
And the unexpected mess?? Ben was working on his car and Cole loves to pretend drive, so Ben let him have at it. What he forgot was the container of baking soda he had in the console. Well, you guessed it. Cole found it!
And in other news, Cole is pretty much broken from the Nuk! WOW! I never thought it would happen. We decided to cut the tip off of the nuk so that it wasn't as fun to suck on and he lost interest and won't take it anymore because it's "broken". Way to go kiddo!
