All aboard!

Since we've been back from Chicago, our weekends have certainly been filled with lots of fun activities! Now that we've worked out Cole's allergy and I'm off the dairy... he's been the happiest (and most handome, might I add) little guy around!

Plus, we found a great place in town with the BEST no-milk-added pomegranate and lemon gelato... mmmm.

He has started showering us with big, gummy smiles and longer stretches of sleep at night... both very much welcomed by mom and dad! ; )

Last weekend we visited the Quad Cities Niambi Zoo...

This weekend we stopped by the Iowa City Airport open house to show Cole all the Cessnas and Pipers and then off to the Johnson County dog show... just like the movie "Best in Show", these little pooches were styled and buffed with their doggy hair blown dry to perfection. Cole was amused to say the least!

Sunday was Mark's birthday (happy birthday babe)... and we headed down the Mississippi River on a two hour paddle boat ride. The weather was perfect and Cole got his first taste of life on the water. What a great time!
