First Words

Cooper has been a chatter box lately. Wonder where he gets that from?! He is always telling us he wants his "ba ba" and wants to go in the "pool" as he moves his arms in sign language for the pool. He is finally feeling better after a weekend of fever....some new teeth have popped up so I think it was the teeth that caused the fever.

Nothing else exciting around here...we have just been working and enjoying the long evenings in the pool :)

What's up?

Our weekend is turning out really nicely so far...even though Cooper has had a fever. We think it's the teeth coming in and he is not eating. As you can see, I dragged out some baby food thinking something soft and cool would help but...he made this mess the second I turned my back. Ice cream seems to be the only cure for the "getting new teeth blues".

Kimmy and Trey are back from their week in Tampa and we took the boys back to the beach this morning and they leave really early tomorrow morning. Even though Cooper had a fever we thought we give it a try at the beach and he seems better now this afternoon. We shall see.

Happy 65th Bday Grammie and Happy Memorial Day!

Beach!

Grant LOVED the water.

Cooper LOVED the sand.

TOGETHER....they had a great time :)

Ohhhh...and Trey and Rob rode the waves on boogie boards together but I didn't snap any pics :)

A Rockin' Good Time!

It rained almost all morning but we did manage to get a little bit of sun in this afternoon. The boys got to play outside and we did swim in the very COLD pool!

Memorial Day weekend officially has begun!

Kimmy, Trey and Grant arrived tonight and we are already having so much fun with the boys. This is sure to be a crazy weekend...I just hope all this rain stops! We are eager to go to the beach and get these kids out and running!


Grandma and Pop are loving watching the boys, they have had a few tough weeks with health complaints so I think a few hours tonight of watching the kids run around was good for them.

Lots more pics to come all weekend long!

What was I thinking?

I must have been delusional over the weekend to take the crib apart! We (and by "we" I really mean Rob) haven't had a full nights sleep since I thought Cooper was a "big boy" for a toddler bed.

Night number #1- I woke up to find all the clothes out of the drawers and covering the floor of his room.

Night #2- I was awoken by Cooper pulling my arm off the bed going "ma ma" at 3:00 am.

Night #3- I have no idea as Rob was up and down almost all night with him as I turned off the monitor and pretended not to hear what was going on...ignorance is bliss my friends!


Also...Rob has been looking at old blogs of Cooper and saying "where did my baby go?" Take a look at this picture from the other night and compare it to this old one!

Big Boy Bed

This weekend I got brave and decided to take down the "crib" and create the "toddler bed" on our convertable crib. Stupidly, I thought the wood beam I had was a rail but it wasn't so we had to get a bed rail. He napped fine today and I hope to have him continue sleeping all night like he did in the crib....I always wanted to hear the pitter patter of little feet in my house...just not at 2am so I hope he stays in this bed!

He of course loves it and has been in and out playing in it all day. I keep telling him it's the same bed just without the fourth "wall" of the crib... but to him..it's brand new :)
