Morning Excercise

I have to tell you, I should be working out. I need to be running, doing yoga, all the things I loved to do before Cooper. But I am not. I feel like this holiday is just adding pounds to my extra baby weight as I sit and eat, work and play with Cooper all day. While my mom is in MD with my sister, I work while Cooper is quiet and sleeping (5 straight hours yesterday) and I eat here at the computer and drink diet Cherry Coke. Why do we drink diet soda when we eat chips, holiday cheese logs and crackers, chocolate chip cookies (or just the dough before you made them)? Cooper is the only one working out...check out the video. He does this every morning and then wears himself out until it's naptime and work time for me. I'll wait until my New Year's resolution to start running again..the only thing for me that gets the pounds off...until then...I'll watch Cooper.

Happy Birthday Laurie!

Make it a great day my friend! xoxoxox

(I should point out the reunion pic is one of my favorites. You were preggers with Lillie and Chrissy and I needed you to hold us up since you were the only one of us not drinking...good times!)

It's raining babies

All I have these days is baby news.

My friend Julie had a little girl yesterday, 7 pds, 2 ounces, 20 inches long, Teresa Lynn. Congrats!

Introducing GRANT

It's a BOY!

My sister gave birth to a healthy 6 pd, 6 ounce, 19 1/2 inch baby BOY tonight! Happy Birthday Grant! (Guy Edwin Howerton IV..to be called Grant) Pics to follow when I get some :) Cooper really wanted a boy cousin but he wouldn't smile for the picture.

SMILE

First time I was able to capture on film :) Made my day!

Like Father like Son

I could tell from the ultrasound pictures that Cooper's lips where just like his daddy's...but finding them both asleep like this really cracked me up.

Christmas time is here

Now that it is officially Dec 1, I have declared it Christmas time! Here are a few pics of our house, the lights in the yard and of course...our bundle of joy. Mom, I love the live wreath you sent to the house, it is perfect for the front door. Rob got to fulfill a childhood dream of putting a train around the tree so we set up a small track around the living room tree. We still plan on putting a live tree in front of the fireplace in a few weeks. Ho Ho Ho
