14 Months

W.O.W.  THIS is what it means to have time fly!  Cooper is everything we wished for AND MORE!  In his 14 months of life, Cooper can:

* Follow directions (get the book, find the orange ball, give Ellie a kiss, give Sandie rubbies, wash your hands, Cooper eat, turn off the television, respect the word "no"...sometimes..., brush teeth, and hug)

*run.  It's his only mode of transportation these days..

*climb UP stairs well

*face forward in his car seat

*reach 20 pounds, 2 oz. and 31 inches 

We love you, Cooper!

 

Did I mention...?

I was NOT going to share these next two photos for two reasons: 1. It's not a very "happy" photo.  2.  The setting may be used for our holiday cards.  HOWEVER, we all laugh when we see these pictures and sometimes it just feels good to let it all out!!!

Happy Halloween!

Frightful little thing, isn't he?

 He was Chewbacca, from Star Wars.  He tolerated the fuzzy, brown leggings but had NO INTENTIONS of wearing the cute, brown, fuzzy hat.   These were the best pictures I could get.    Fun times :)

Seeds GALORE

 

Seeds, seeds everywhere,

Find them, pick them if you dare!

Clean them, cook them, eat for lunch,

Crunchy pumpkin seeds...munch, munch, munch!

 

Pumpkin Pickins and Shoes

Today was a lovely day for the pumpkin patch.  It was Cooper's first time picking out his own.  Although it was a bit chilly, we had fun picking out the perfect ones!

But there was SOMETHING not right with his left shoe?!  He refused to wear it...so we put it in the wagon and he pushed it! 

Carving pumpkins next weekend :)

Glowing

Maybe it is the sun's position behind her...

Maybe it's her sweet smile...

Maybe it's her 12-going-on-22 look...

Maybe it's because she is my first-born...

Maybe it's because she is my daughter...

BUT,

Isn't she beautiful?

Strike A Pose

I couldn't have planned this better if I tried.
