Happy New Year

Happy New Year! We had a great Christmas and we are having a good 2010 so far.

We had a great time having Christmas in Atlanta and Savannah.
Caden is playing basketball at Mt. Bethel and is happy to be back at school.
Cooper is still rotten to the core and is talking a lot these days and climbing on EVERYTHING!

Trick or Treat

We had a great Halloween even though it was raining and cold.

Caden was an army soldier and Cooper was a pumpkin.

We had some friends over for a party before trick or treating and this year Gigi and Grandy were here too!

Little Pumpkins

We went to the pumpkin patch today. Caden picked out some pumpkins and Cooper ran through the patch squealing and drumming on the "puppins".

18 months

Cooper, you are 18 months old today.

What are you up to this month?

You have 10.5 teeth.

You still love to bite.

You need another haircut.
You have too many new words to list but some of our favorites are: thank you, please, get down, socks, ball, two and pumpkin.
You are VERY loud.
You can throw a ball really well.
You can also throw a fit really well.
We find out how much you weigh on Wednesday when you get your flu shot. We're guessing around 30 lbs.
You have one speed now - wide open. You run everywhere.
You went to Ms. Kayla's wedding this month. You didn't get to stay in the church because we were afraid that you would scream for Ms. Kayla the whole time.
You still love to talk on the phone.
You are still taking 2 naps everyday and sleeping great at night.
You are completely and totally obsessed with airplanes.

You are such a big boy! We love you Cooper.

Here comes the ring bearer

Ms. Kayla (our nanny) got married last Saturday.
Caden was her Ring Bearer.


Yep, that's camo. Mr. Chad (Ms. Kayla's husband) chose camouflage vests for the wedding. It was the one and only piece of input that Chad had in the wedding. I can see why Ms. Kayla made all the other decisions!

Caden LOVED his tuxedo, but he loved his camo vest most of all!!

He had a great time at the reception and danced the entire time we were there.

Congratulations Ms. Kayla and Mr. Chad. We hope you are having a great time on your honeymoon. Hurry home ...

17 months

Cooper you are 17 months old today!

What are you up to?

You weigh 29 lbs and are about 34 inches tall (I think, but you are so hard to measure!)

You love to run - in the grass, at the baseball field, in the house, anywhere.

You have 7 teeth - all of which still like to bite.

You can say "I go bye bye" and then you head straight to the door to the garage.

You love to give kisses and hugs.

You are still taking 2 naps every day and sleep about 11 hours at night.

You love to go outside. When it rains, you stand at the front door and press your nose to the glass and say "Bye Bye".

You love to sit in the office with Mommy or Caden and "work" on the computer and spin in the office chairs.
You are wearing a size 24 month or 2T. You are a big boy!

You are starting to be a picky eater.

You love to eat Goldfish crackers and you want to eat them at every meal. Sadly, meals times aren't so much fun right now, because you don't get to eat Goldfish at every meal.

You like to stack blocks and then knock them down.

You are really good at playing with all of Caden's toys.

This month you've learned how to say football, baseball and basketball.

You might be starting the "terrible twos" a wee bit early...

We love you Coop!

Attack Plan

Sadly, our newly renovated bathroom has been turned into Iraq and Afghanistan.

I think, perhaps, we're watching a bit too much CNN when Caden is around.
