What a ham!

Any time the camera comes out, Coop gives this big, cheesy grin like he's ready for his photo shoot.

I wonder where he gets it from?



(PS I never knew so many people looked at my blog. It's an all time record for comments on the prego post! Usually it's just 2 or 3 but we're at 19 now. I feel so loved!)

The real reason I haven't been blogging...

Some of you may have noticed that my blogging has been a little lacking lately and this is the reason...

Between being completely nauseous, totally tired, & taking care of a 1 year old I have not had the will power to consistently blog. We are expecting the new little one sometime in February (as for an exact date, I'll have to get back to you when I go to my first doc. appointment when we get back to Utah)

Coop's Summer Fling

It was a sad day for all of us, but especially for Cooper as he said goodbye to his first summer fling. Many questions go unanswered as Cooper faces life without Emma.

Who's going to stuff more strawberries in my mouth when I just can't push hard enough?

Who's going to make sure I'm drinking enough water?
Who's going to give me hug, upon hug, upon hug...?
Who's going to cruise the streets with me?
Who's going to help unload the groceries?

Who's Mom is going to babysit me when my Mom & Dad go on a date?

And most importantly...

Who is my Mom going to play with now?

We are so glad for the wonderful friends we made here in NC!

Hey Cooper, what time is it?

One day last week we were getting ready to go to the pool and Caleb said "We only have 45 minutes at the pool." Coop is just sitting there with us and does this. Who knows where he picked it up? We didn't teach him but obviuosly I must do this alot.

Cooper loves...

I wanted to document some things that Cooper enjoys doing at this tender age of 15 months, so...

Cooper loves to...

eat! (that must be why he's so big!),

sit in anything he can get in (even if he can't get out),
lay down in the bath tub (we think he likes the water in his ears),
make noise,
play with Dad,
swim,

longboard with Daddy,
make a mess,
love his dog,
walk the office dog,

sleep (thank goodness for that!),

read,
play with shoes,
talk on the phone,
wear hats (I know, I'm pretty lucky he loves to wear them...and he looks so dang cute!)
smile!
He's such a happy baby and we just can't get enough of him!
