Special Cart

Cooper feels like such a big boy sitting in the special cart with sister!


How in the world do I have TWO children big enough to sit in the special cart?!

D is almost 3 1/2 years old, C is 10 months old and I can't believe how time is flying!

My sweet little princess

Since my blog has sort of taken a back seat during this busy season of my life, I wanted to give a little update some of the things Devin is up to as well as the rest of us. I am trying to get the monthly Cooper posts up since he is changing so quickly each month and this is my only baby book, but my sweet little princess is changing too! This will go back a few months. :)

Once of Devin's favorite new things in the past few months is to go out to eat. I often take the kids to lunch on a Saturday afternoon while Chris is at work. She is all about eating at a restaurant and now that she isn't quite as picky of an eater, she is a great lunch date!

From January 12

Another obsession would be going to birthday parties and having cake!

From January 12

As much as she loves her bounce house, she is never really into them at parties. Too many wild kids in them. She did LOVE this pony though and rode it about 20 times!

From January 12

She loves to talk on the phone and loves to get mail!

From February 2012

Anytime I work at home and she is with me, she always gets her computer and pulls up a chair so she can typewrite too. :)

From February 2012

From March 2012

The water table is by far a favorite outdoor activity for BOTH kids! She also loves to go dig int he dirt and get it in the water. It makes for a mess! I think she might need a sand table. :)

Devin loves to spend time at her Nonna and Diddo's house! And a car ride with Diddo in the back seat is ALWAYS fun!

From February 2012

Playing outside, especially sidewalk chalk in the front yard are also favorites of hers.

Bathtime with Cooper is a newer thing and always enjoyed by both of them...and apparently the pictures are always a little blurry!

9 Months Old

Boy how time is flying! Cooper is 9 months old now!

*Cooper weighs around 20 pounds. He has his nine month checkup this week and I will update his stats then!

From March 2012

*Cooper wears a size 4 diaper and a size 5 overnight diaper with a booster inserted.

From March 2012

*Coop wears size 9-12 and size 18 month clothes.

From March 2012

*Coop is all over the place and into everything!!! He crawls, pulls up, sits up, stands for a few seconds unsupported. He is starting to cruise a tiny bit on furniture.

*Coop still wakes up about every 3 hours at night. We go through phases. He will sleep all night, then revert back to waking. He has so much going on developmentally. As much as I would like for him to sleep all night, I am not sweating the small stuff!

From March 2012

*Cooper has 5 teeth now!!!

*Coop makes a few sounds regulalry. He says "get" a lot and makes a "da" sound as well.

From March 2012

*He also has this sort of growly sounds he makes a lot that I think is his car noises. He really gets those going when he has a car to play with.

From March 2012

*Coop eats three meals a day and is doing well with his cheerios and veggie bites. I'm hoping that as he masters these skills, I will be able to start giving him some cut up cooked veggies and deli meat.

From March 2012

*Coop is also really starting to figure out his sippy cup!

*Coop wants to be big like his sister so badly! When she and her daddy are outside playing, he stands by the back door looking out and laughing and squealing the entire time.

From March 2012

From March 2012

*Cooper LOVES to laugh! He is so silly and laughs at all kinds of things.

*Cooper is also a HUGE flirt! Especially with all the teachers at his school.

*Cooper has become really into the dogs this month and is always trying to pet them.

From March 2012

*Cooper waves and this month he has starting clapping. It is so cute!

*I love that he has quite an expressive little face, just like his sister!

*Cooper is SUCH a happy little boy!


Cooper and his sister are such a joy to our family!

8 Months Old

Cooper is 8 months old!

My how this year is flying by. His first birthday seems like it is just around the corner.

*Cooper weighs around 18-19 pounds.
*Cooper is wearing a size 4 diaper during the day and we have started using a size 5 diaper at night.

From February 2012

*Cooper is wearing 9 and 12 month pants and 18 month shirts. He could wear smaller shirts, but I am tired of buying a new wardrobe every three months so I just bought a little big to get us through the Summer hopefully.

From March 2012


*Cooper has 1 tooth!

From February 2012

*Cooper has had a burst of developmental milestones lately. He is now a full fledged crawler. He also pulls up. Just like his sister, he only learned how to really crawl so he could get to things to pull up.

From February 2012

*Cooper loves to wave to people and he is starting to clap every now and then too.

From February 2012

*Cooper eats three solid meals a day. He has been practicing picking up cheerios every night at dinner time this month too. He has also been practicing drinking water from a sippy cup.

From March 2012


*Cooper still thinks his sister hung the moon!
*Cooper moved into his big boy carseat this month!

From February 2012


*He also sits in a regular high chair when we go out to eat and sits in the shopping cart now at the store!
