uh oh!!!

did i mention that he can do this all on his own??? yep, we are in trouble! he also like to just skip his knees and go right onto his toes, so he looks like a little spider. he doesn't go anywhere yet, just rocks back and forth and then pushes himself backwards.

my parents are to blame! they were the ones that have been practicing this with him! too darn cute though. 

the pool!!!!

On Sunday, it was so hot that we found a pool. Our friends, Heather and Wade along with their little boy, were staying out at her parents house... all the way in Dixon... on a farm! So much fun. It was like getting out of town without the drive/flight, hotel, etc. We all felt like we were on a little vacation, and we were only there for the afternoon. So, thanks Elaine and Chris for letting us use your home and pool. Sorry, back to my story. 

Cooper loves any water. This water was cold and he didn't even make a sound. Just lots of smiles and a cute little look of content. Although it was hot, Gabe was the one that got in with him while I kept my white butt in the shade.

This is Devin. He is about 8 weeks older than Cooper. I think this was the first time that we have had them together that they were both awake at the same time. It was very cute to see them interact.

Happy Easter

We hope everyone had a happy easter!

Great Party Trick!

Last week he started figuring out that those things at the end of his legs were his also. And they taste pretty good, too!

Great Daddy pics

There really is no hope for him... he will be a Raider fan! Just like his Daddy.

Gabe and his mini-me...

L-E-T-S-G-O Lets Go, Lets Go!

Gigi made him his very own outfit to go and support his Aunt Alexi for RHS Softball Games. Needless to say, he's cuter than a giant tiger! The girls have adopted him as their mascot. Go Tigers! 

Hi Ho Hi Ho it's off to work....

As most of you know, Coop comes with me to work. Here he is at the H St store talking to himself in the mirror, before he realizes that he is being watched.

I see you!

And here is our big boy! All he wants to do anymore is sit and if someone will help him, stand! And he's not happy just standing there. He wants to move! I am in so much trouble!

Swinging the day away

Gabe brought it to my attention one Saturday that he was with him that he loved the swings. Not surprising since he LOVES to sleep in his swing at home. So, we tested it out, and yep. He could stay in there for hours. At one point he was laying back and his blinks were getting longer and longer. At that point I decided it was probably better to have in sleep at home rather than the park. I don't want him thinking it's okay to be a bum ;)
