A little late on everything...

This month has been so crazy. I've been so busy with work and school that I havent had any free time, and that is why my blog is lacking, and also because nothing too exciting has happend this month.

Cooper is growing like a weed! I cant believe how big he has gotten, he is a big round ball of chub. A few sundays ago Trev was holding Cooper by the stake presidents office, and he walked out and asked where the boys neck was. His cheeks are just so chubby and his belly is so round that you just dont see the neck. Well later that evening we were having dinner at the in-laws and Trev was telling his mom the story and my nephew Garrett was there listening to it as well. Since then everytime Garrett sees Coop he has to make sure his neck is still there, he is just so worried about it, its the funniest thing!

As you can see there is no neck. I love this picture even tho his hair is crazy, he has spit bubbles, and I chopped his arm off. He looks SOOO much like his daddy, and I just love it!

We also tried to do Halloween this month. I was really excited for halloween this year all up until the week of, and then I got really bummed when I woke up every morning and it was freezing cold with snow on the ground. I do not love snow in October, actually I do not love snow period! But anyways I still wanted to dress Coop up because he had the cutest monkey costume, although he did not think so. On halloween day I was really excited because he slept ALL DAY, and when I mean all day I mean 9pm tuesday night to 8am wednesday morning, 9:30am-3:00pm 4:00-5:30pm, so I thought he would be well-rested and happy for the evening. Boy was I WRONG! I had woken him up about 5:30 so we could go to the inlaws for dinner and see G & S. I put him in his monkey suit and he cried from there on out. I only got one picture where he didnt look like he was screaming, just mad so

here it is...

We also dress him up as a frog one day, he did not like that either...

Hope you all had a happy halloween!

Back from Vacation!

Last weekend we went to Salt Lake for my cousin Josh's missionary homecoming. It was a much needed vacation and we had a great time! We left really early friday morning hoping we could make it almost there before Cooper woke up, and guess what....we did! I did wake him up in moad to feed him while we ate, but then he went back to sleep as soon as we hit the road, and didnt make a peep until we hit the first stop light coming right out of the canyon. We spent a couple hours walking aroud IKEA. When we get ready to buy/build our house I am renting a U-haul and getting all my furnishings from there! Which will hopefully be in the winter/springtime! We enjoyed some delicious food from Johnny Carinos, Texas Roadhouse, and Five Guys. On Saturday I was able to take some bridal pictures of one of my very good friends Ellie. We took her pictures at Garden Park Ward. The park was so beautiful, I wish we had pretty parks in Farmington that would make great pictures. **Check my photography blog for the upcoming pictures. They wont be posted until she gets married in November, because she doesnt want her fiance to see her gorgeous dress yet! Saturday night we spent the evening playing miniture golf at boondocks, and I so kicked Trev's butt at it and he didnt even give me any strokes! He said we tied but that was just to make himself feel better. My parents took Cooper for us and we went to Cornbelly's Cornmaze at Thanksgiving Point. I was really upset because I wanted to go through the haunted maze, but it didnt open until Oct. 2. So we went through the regular one and still had fun! We didnt even get lost! We spent all day catching up and visiting with family. It was great to get away and I'm ready for our next trip in November!

Coop and I got bored in the car on the way home...

Halloween Outfits

My mother and I (mostly my mother) made these cute little Halloween outfits to sell to help fund our Florida trip this winter. We are such slackers have not been doing so well!! We made them and then didnt do anything else to market them and now its October!!! Right now we have 4 available. 1 12month, 2 2t, and 1 3t. If you are interested in one you can email me at mallorywethington@gmail.com and if you would like one in a different size let me know and we can whip them out in about a day! They are super cute!

The picture shown is a 12 month and one of the 2t is also in this fabric. The other two are in different fabrics I will try to get pictures up soon! I also started an etsy shop where I will be selling blankets and headbands. Check it out at www.malloryw33.etsy.com

Chunk-A-Saurus

Our little Coopasaurus has turned into a chunkasaurus! He had his 2 month check up earlier this week, and I cant believe how much he has grown! He now weighs 12 lbs. 11 oz. and is 25 n-half inches long. We are so glad to have a happy, healthy baby.

Here a few things Coop has learned in the last month:

-You have laughed out loud

-You giggle in your sleep and it is the cutest thing to watch

-You follow us with your eyes when we get up to leave the room

-You have learned to sleep in your crib

-You LOVE to play and kick
-You have quite the little temper and everyone will cater to you to make you happpy
-You LOVE your tongue. You are always chewing on it and sticking it out.

I can't believe how fast he is changing. I miss my tiny scrawny baby but I love how he is growing and interacting with us.

Insomnia

So as my boys are both sound asleep in their beds, I am wide awake at 2:42 in the morning! I HATE when I can't sleep, and I know that when I finally fall asleep Coop will wake up, which means I will probably be pulling an all nighter... In the meantime here is a pic of mr. man sound

asleep...

Blessing Day

Sunday September 6, 2009 was a very special day in our little fam. Treven was able to give Mr. Cooper his baby blessing during sacrament. He did such an amazing job and I am so proud of him! Here are a few pictures from Coop's special day...

(so I did not realize trev's eyes were closed until I uploaded it and I dont want to re-upload another one so oh well...)
