Growing Up on The Carousel

Since Coleman's first trip to Montana at 9 months old, Grandpa and Grandma have been taking him to The Painted Pony Carousel. Last week he was riding on his favorite animal, a dinosaur that he calls Puso because it is the same kind of dinosaur as his stuffed animal Puso. I started thinking about all the pictures I have of him on the carousel and how neat it would be to see how much he's grown over the years. For the first few years he's not riding the dinosaur because he didn't get Puso until Spence's first birthday trip to Build-A-Bear.

So many memories. Thank you Grandpa and Grandma for taking us to the carousel every visit! Think we can bribe Coleman to get on Puso when he's 15?

Oh what fun pictures! Look at how far his legs hang down in the last picture! You have to make him do it when he is 15! What fun photos to have! And i can't believe how much he looks like Spence in his baby pictures! Too cute!
