A few tidbits.


Well I just updated my blog clear back to easter. So if you want to read all about it keep scrolling.


I have been sooo busy lately I havent had time to do anything. I am counting down the days until July 29, and then I will be done with school forever! Finally! And then I will have more time to keep up on blogging.


The middle of April Trev got transferred to a different department. Now he works all. the. freakin. time! Last week he worked 100 hours. Ya thats not a typo or an exagerration. And it looks like this week will be the same. At least he gets his days off this week. Yay!


Cooper is almost walking. I am excited and scared at the same time. I am afraid that he will be more of a monster than he already is when he starts walking. Today he stood up out of the blue and took about 6 steps. He is a speed crawler. He can kick anyones trash at crawling! He loves dancing and groovin to the music. Anytime music is on tv, computer, phone he starts rockin to it. Balls and cars are his favorite. He pushes and chases them everywhere. He insists on feeding himself. If i feed him something he spits it out into his hand and then proceeds to feed himself. He does this with gooey slimy food too like mashed tatos, applesauce, oatmeal, you get the idea. I am loving watching him grow and develop everyday. I am so glad I am able to stay at home with him.

Very, very, BAD haircut.

Cooper's hair grows so fast that we usually cut it once a month. Well last weekend it was starting to look really shabby and trev had a couple hours off so he decided to cut it. Normally coop loves it and holds perfectly still while watching in the mirror. Not this time! He kept turning his head and moving, trying to grab the razor. It was a mess. I turned the water on thinking that maybe he would get distracted and kick his feet in the water. Nope. He decided to sit completely in the water. With clothes on. I told trev to just give up and we would fix it later....sorry the pictures are so bad and blurry. He would not hold still....
I am determined to get his hair fixed by Sunday!

See Cooper Run.

I love these. They make me laugh every time.

Swimming!

So far this summer we have been doing lots of swimming! We decided to get coop a little pool so he can play in something besides the bath. He loves it! He just splashes and laughs. And the pool is so small that he can crawl out of it and play on the grass for a bit and then crawls back in when he is ready for a lil swim...I have some video of playing in the pool, but for now all you get is pics...

Grand Pianist

Cooper is quite the pianist. These pictures were taken back in march when coop just barely started playing. Now he is quite the professional! Now he stands at the piano, shakes his little booty while he plays, and sings. It is quite the show. I really need to take pictures and a video of this, but lately I have been forgetting my camera and videocam when I have been going to my moms...

How many easter eggs can you stuff in a onesie?

Yea, I know easter was over 2 months ago, but I never got around to posting.

My poor son doesn't stand a chance when aunt kourtni is around. My mom had just bought a gazillion bags of plastic easter eggs for coop to play with. He loves playing with these eggs, he carries them all over the house. I finally threw most of them away because I was tired of stepping on half of them. Anways back to the original story...kourt started stuffing these easter eggs in his onesie. I was suprised that he just sat there and let her, usually he is screaming a fit trying to get away. Then after he was completely stuffed he crawled around with them like it was no big deal. I'm not too sure how many eggs were in his onesie...we forgot to count, but we put a bag or two in there..and here he is in his easter get-up

Gargoyle

Cooper plays on the fireplace hearth about 80% of the day. It is his favorite thing. He crawls back and forth on it like he is guarding the fireplace or something. He pulls all of his car onto it and drives them back and forth. The other day he was squatting on the edge of the hearth and my sister said, "hey, he looks like a gargoyle." I tried to snap a quick pic but he moved to quickly. But, here are some of him just playin on his favorite spot...
And if you even think to sit on his hearth, be prepared to get your face ripped off!
