Cole's Putting Lessons

2010-06-06T04:34:00.001-07:00

We are trying to teach Cole the concept of putting. He still makes his full swing on the putting green, so we are trying to show him the smaller, more gentler putting stroke. It may take a while...

Golf Cart

2010-06-06T04:24:00.000-07:00

Grandma and Buck got Cole a Jr golf cart. He is obsessed with it. And for a kid that isnt even 2 years old, he can fully drive/steer the cart. With his clubs on the back he is ready to start playing!

Cole's new and future girlfriend

2010-06-03T15:50:00.001-07:00

My college roommate is visiting Hilton Head with her family. Cole has been hanging out with her 2 1/2 year old daughter Paula Grace...Cole is in love! It is destined to be a future marriage. It has been so wonderful having play dates with them everyday. We have been swimming in the pool, dancing at Salty Dog cafe, and visiting the animals at Lawton Stables petting zoo. What a fun week...it will be awful when they leave. Heart break!

Mulching with Daddy

2010-06-03T15:37:00.000-07:00

Ryan mulched the backyard and of course Cole wanted to be right along side Daddy helping...

Lawton Stables with Elliott

2010-06-03T15:13:00.000-07:00

Before the weather gets too hot and humid in HHI, we did another trip to Lawton Stables petting zoo. This time we went with our buddy Elliott and Jennifer Witmer.

Morning Rain

2010-06-03T15:03:00.000-07:00

Cole wants to be outside no matter what is happening with the weather. After it rained one morning we put his rain boots on and let him splash in the puddles. Puddles are a favorite!

Swimming Lessons

2010-06-03T14:56:00.000-07:00

Cole enjoyed a month of swimming lessons when his Canadian buddy Colton came to Hilton Head. Colton is his godmother, Suzanne's nephew. He was a little hesitant at first but after just a couple of lessons he is now kicking and jumping right into the water from the side. The summer will be filled with many days at the pool and beach.

Heritage 2010 Pro-Am

2010-04-14T17:33:00.000-07:00

Buck played in the 2010 Pro-Am at the Verizon Heritage. They played with Bo Van Pelt, who at first everyone wasnt that thrilled about getting paired with, but he turned out to be a great guy. When I arrived at hole 16 with Cole, he immediately came over and gave Cole a high five. He has 3 children, and was very cute with Cole. Cole absolutely loved running out onto the fairway and holding hands with Buck down the 18th. It was priceless to watch!
GO BO at the tournament!!

New Pictures

2010-04-11T09:59:00.000-07:00

While Matt and Katie were here for Easter weekend we had some picture done with the family. Here are just a couple the photographer shared with us.

Easter Day Brunch

2010-04-11T09:47:00.000-07:00

For Easter Day we went to Tide Pointe for Easter brunch. Since I only sit for about 5 minutes I played outside most of the time. After brunch we went back to Grandma and Bucks house for Easter dinner. It was a great Easter!

Easter Egg Hunt

2010-04-08T19:00:00.000-07:00

Cole participated in the Easter Egg Hunt at Wexford. Although I wasnt sure if he was actually going to run out and get any eggs because he was too obsessed with the golf cart. But when it started he did go out and get some eggs, and wanted to put others in the golf holes on the putting green. He unfortunately didnt like the Easter Bunny once we got close so we dont have a picture of him on the lap. Hopefully next year!

Matt and Katie's Couples Baby Shower

2010-04-08T18:46:00.000-07:00

Matt and Katie flew in for Easter weekend and we threw them a couples baby shower. It was an awesome party and such a great weekend with them here. I miss them! We are very excited for Baby Soldo (either Sophia or Isabella) to arrive, due date June 14th!

St Patties Day Parade

2010-04-08T18:41:00.000-07:00

Cole loved watching the parade this year. He constantly clapped and cheered as the floats went by.

First Hair Cut

2010-04-08T18:39:00.001-07:00

Cole had his first hair cut the Friday before Easter. On the way there my parents and I wanted to make a bet that he would cry, but we all thought he would. He proved us all wrong and did great. I have never seen him sit still for so long. I think the main trick was the lollipop I gave him, great advice to those who told me to do that.

Golf

2010-02-11T14:28:00.000-08:00

Cole is absolutely obsessed with golf. Grandma went out and bought him a set of 3 real clubs...of course only used outside. As soon as Cole goes outside he goes straight to the tee box in front of our house with his clubs and begins hitting balls. He actually has a good grip and half swing and makes good contact...eventually he will understand alignment. For now we cant keep him from playing. Inside he has his plastic set that he swings around the house.

Music Class

2010-01-27T18:11:00.001-08:00

Every Thursday Aunties Frannie is taking Cole to music class. He seems to be the only kid that never sits down...shocker. But he is showing a great interest in music, so hopefully that will continue on. Although in the one picture he is trying to make a break for it and escape the room.

HHI Snow Day- Jan 2010

2010-01-23T18:42:00.000-08:00

Hilton Head hosts a Snow Day each year at Shelter Cove park, and they make snow for us to play in. I had so much fun watching the snow being made and playing in it....at least until I fell face forward in the snow and realized how cold it is! I need to get prepared for when I go up north to visit Nana and Grampa! It was great seeing my buddy Bryce Stephenson and meeting a new friend Hudson. My favorite part was dancing and eating a soft pretzel.

Christmas 2009

2010-01-23T18:30:00.000-08:00

I had a wonderful Christmas with my family. Uncle Matt and Aunt Katie came to HHI from California, and I am very excited for my cousin to arrive. I received so many great presents, even though I didnt like visiting santa.

Lawton Stables Petting Zoo

2010-01-23T18:24:00.000-08:00

The Hilton Head Prep school hosted a family event at Lawton Stables petting zoo. I had so much fun visiting the horses, lamas, pigs, goats...

Pictures

2009-12-02T16:54:00.000-08:00

So...Im so far behind on Coles blog Im just going to update it with pictures. Cole is doing great! Is fully obsessed with being outside..ALL day. Runs everywhere and never walks. Is starting to love Mickey Mouse. He will blow you a kiss, bring you a matching pair of shoes and high five you all day. He is saying a few words, but we are still waiting for the flood gates to open on that one.

1st Birthday Party

2009-08-12T17:16:00.000-07:00

Here are a few of the pictures from my 1st birthday party. It was a pool party with a monkey theme. There were about 15 kids and 40 adults there. It was quite an event. Thank you to everyone that came. And a special thank you to Uncle Joey for taking all the pictures!

4th of July

2009-07-18T09:11:00.000-07:00

Baptism

2009-06-17T16:50:00.001-07:00

May 31, 2009. Cole was baptized at St Lukes Episcopal Church. It was held on Pentecost Sunday, so that is why there are a lot of us wearing something red. After the beautiful contempory 9am service we had a delicious brunch back at my parents home. It was a beautiful and sunny day.

Baptism Outfit

2009-06-17T11:47:00.000-07:00

This is the outfit that I was baptized in today. Although I napped through my entire brunch, it was a great day. Thank you to all my family and friends that attended the service and the brunch. There will be pictures in the church posted asap!

My Grandma and Buck watched me for a night and gave me my first taste of pizza, YUMMY!!!

And I am also obsessed with dog bowls...I hope I dont think I am dog, and will continue to just move around on all fours.

Sea World

2009-04-04T18:02:00.001-07:00

Bumbo

2008-11-29T05:26:00.001-08:00

GO PHILLIES!!!

2008-11-01T13:06:00.000-07:00

The Philadelphia Phillies have finally won the World Series again! And now Cole is their youngest fan. Hopefully he will stay a Phillies fan and not side with Daddy and Granddaddy and become a Mets fan.

SMILES!

2008-11-01T12:54:00.000-07:00

It is such a wonderful time when your baby starts to smile at you. Cole has been grinning so much and it just makes everything so worth it. Here are a couple of the first shots I got of him smiling.

Kristyns Baby Shower

2008-11-01T12:47:00.001-07:00

We threw my friend Kristyn a baby shower up in Charleston, and are anxiously awaiting Coles buddy Dylan to arrive.

Carolyn and Alex Nagys wedding

2008-10-07T09:15:00.001-07:00

We made a 12 hour (with Cole it ended up being more like 14 hours) car trip up to Philadelphia for Carolyn and Alex's wedding. For most of the drive we were thrilled that Cole was a great travelling baby. It was a beautiful wedding weekend!

More Family...

2008-10-07T09:00:00.000-07:00

While we were up in Philadelphia Cole met his great grandparents (Great Grandma Bree and Great Grandpa Bree) and also Uncle Jim and Aunt Susanne. We are very grateful that they drove into the city to meet Cole.

This is one of my new favorite pictures of Cole!

Cole's first photo shoot

2008-10-01T03:17:00.000-07:00

We did Cole's first photo shoot right at one month. Here is a sampling of pictures from it. If you want to see them all you can go to http://www.sillygoosephotography.com/ and view them. We plan to do more in months to come.

Second Month

2008-09-24T06:57:00.000-07:00

Just some more pictures of Cole at 4-6 weeks old. I cant believe that much time has already gone by.

Lots of Family Time

2008-09-24T06:50:00.000-07:00

Cole has finally met all his grandparents. Nana Carole and Grandpa Drew came for a visit and got to spend a lot of quality time with Cole. He is now getting a brief rest and then next week will meet his great grandma and grandpa Bree up in Philadelphia.

Even more pictures...

2008-09-08T05:36:00.000-07:00

Some more cute pictures of Cole and his first bath. He also had his first playdate with Bryce Stephenson!

More family...

2008-09-08T05:27:00.000-07:00

This weekend Cole got to meet his Uncle Blake and Aunt Melissa. So now he has met both Aunt and Uncles and this week to top it all off his grandparents from New Jersey are driving down for the week to visit. Cole is very lucky to have such wonderful family and hopefully they will come visit often.

Labor Day Weekend

2008-09-08T02:12:00.000-07:00

On Labor Day weekend Cole got to meet his Uncle Matt and Aunt Katie. We had a great weekend hanging out at the grandparents house, we also realized how wonderful Cole is to take out to dinner. Once you put him into his car seat he doesnt make a peep for a couple of hours. (we are tempted to try this at night) I am sure we will not have that luxury for long, so we will go out more often now.

Coles first three weeks!

2008-08-29T11:39:00.000-07:00

Tomorrow Cole will be three weeks old. It has been quite an adjustment in the Lindstedt household, but I think Ryan and I are finally getting the hang of things. Sleep has obviously been minimal, but we are getting a little bit of a routine down. And Cole is finally starting to know the difference between day and night. He has already brought a lot of joy to us and the entire family. Here are some new pictures of Cole and some of the visitors he has had. He is getting ready for Labor Day weekend when he gets to meet his Uncle Matt and Aunt Katie.

Cole Michael Lindstedt Arrived

2008-08-12T07:04:00.001-07:00

On Saturday August 9th, at 2:30 am my water broke and Ryan and I were off to the hospital. After pushing for just over an hour Cole was born at 3:41pm. He is 6lb, 4oz and 19.5 inches long. He is a beautiful baby and most importantly, healthy! As a bonus, he was born on my fathers birthday. And thankfully my parents were able to make it back from Wisconsin in just enough time for the birth. We are finally home and starting out our new lives with Cole. Thank you all for the wonderful wishes throughout the entire experience. I promise to get in touch after we get a little more of a schedule down.

Nursery in the Works

2008-08-06T05:41:00.000-07:00

This is the first attempt at a blog posting for Cole Michael Lindstedt. I am now 37 weeks along and who knows when Cole is going to come. Ryan and I are busy trying to get the house and nursery ready for his arrival. Posted are some of the pictures of his nursery so far. We still have some work to do on it, but it is coming along well. We hope Cole is going to like animals since it is a safari themed room. Hopefully this blog will help all our family and friends that live close and far watch Cole as he arrives and grows.
