Cooper: Week 36



COOPER LIKES:



Easter Bunny goodies!
Bath time drums, bunny ears, books, a personalized plate and sweet new shades... 
what more could a boy ask for?!


Riding in the boat.
I was a little concerned he wouldn't love the lifejacket but he didn't seem to mind one bit...
It held his cheeks up nicely and was apparently pretty comfortable as he passed smooth out as soon as we strapped him in!



Visiting the Easter Bunny with Henry!
These two stole the show at the Easter Bunny's little hut...
Precious Henry was a little thrown off by the button placement on the Bunny's vest and tried diligently to nurse! Haha! Lyndsey and I had just as much fun as the boys did!


Snackin' in the bathtub.
Momma can get ready in relative peace and the clean up is a breeze!

Jackson (5 days), Creede (2 months), Henry (3 months) & Cooper (8 months) 


Hanging out with his boys!
These four precious cousins are going to the very best of friends!
Bless the poor woman who gets them all in one kindergarten class... 


Jumping with Uncle Awesome.
Cooper was entertaining himself in his activity saucer when Zac came over. The next thing I know Cooper is laughing hysterically and I look over to find Cooper and Zac jumping up and down like a bunch of crazies! He sure loves his Uncle Awesome...




Going on an egg hunt!
He sure wanted to eat the eggs, but eventually he gave in and stuck it in the basket.
Oh my goodness, we couldn't have a happier boy!


Using his Johnny Jump Up to help him get into things!
Nothing is safe these days! I watched as Coop stood straight up in his Jump Up, use it to balance as he walked over to the bathroom cabinets and opened them right up! 
We are in serious trouble people.


Facetiming.
Cooper has always loved facetiming with Brandon while he is at work, but this week we talked to Henry and Cooper was mesmerized! I cracked up as they jabbered back and forth to each other! What did we do before we had these cool phones?!


Banging the wooden fish together.
Cooper discovered the fish hanging on his closet doors this week. 
He thinks they are soooo funny!


Napping in Mommy & Daddy's bed.
How did my baby get so big!?


Playing with Daddy.
Cooper smiles nonstop when his Daddy is around.

COOPER DOES NOT LIKE:


Waiting on Momma to take his picture.
It's no fair for the Easter Bunny to come with a basket of goodies and then you can't dig in until Momma has the camera ready... Hurry up already Mom!



Teething.
It's a rough day when three teething toys are necessary!
Cooper's bottom two teeth are completely in and have been for some time. 
He has upper fangs that are pushed all the way through (Vampire Baby!) and his top middle teeth are starting to peek out as well - four teeth at one time is the pits!


Packing.
It's consuming all of Mommy's time, energy and attention.

MOMMY'S FAVORITE 
PICTURES OF THE WEEK:

Happy Camper.
Cooper was so happy to be enjoying the fresh air at the Ranch!
That smile makes my heart so happy...



My big happy family (minus my parents and brother).
I could not be more excited to raise my son surrounded by the love of these people.
We are so very blessed.


WEEK 36 HAPPENINGS:




Day 246: We spent the night at the lake and got up extra early to go meet Daddy and Pops at the Cookson store for a yummy breakfast! Our boys didn't shoot any turkeys, but they had a really good time and then we topped it off by doing some fishing! We headed down to the lake, strapped Cooper into his life jacket and hopped on Pop's new fishing boat - the Little Prince was instantly rocked to sleep by the calm waves. We finished the night with an extra happy dinner with a whole bunch of cousins - Blake, Creede, Henry and Cooper! We almost had more babies at the table than adults... Our sweet boy had one seriously fun day!


Day 247: Lyndsey and I loaded up Henry and Cooper bright and early and hit the road to visit the Easter Bunny! The boys were as cooperative as they could be - full of smiles! First trip to the bunny was a smashing success!





Day 248: Cooper's first Easter! After a wonderful service at the Crossing Church, we loaded up and headed to the Ranch for yummy food, egg hunts and lots of giggles with the cousins! 



Day 249: My good friend, Libby, was home for the holidays so she came over to meet Cooper and his sweet friend, Loran. Loran's mommy, Britanny, Libby and I were roommates in college. It was so fun to have the girls all reunited! 

Day 250: A busy day - music class, weekly visit with Gramma and lots of errands! 


Day 251: We met Daddy downtown for one of our favorite events of the year - the Oklahoma City Arts Festival! We enjoyed lots of wonderful art, great music and delicious food... I was the big winner because I got to stroll around with the two most handsome boys in the whole place! (I'm kind of obsessed with Cooper wearing his new sunglasses! They are ridiculously adorable!)


Day 252: Can you find Cooper?! We picked up a few boxes for our move... thankfully Coop was asleep so he had no idea that there was an empty swing box in his lap the whole drive home! (PS - just a little heads up, keep your big toy boxes!! It's so nice to be able to put Cooper's large toys that we will keep to use for our next baby back in the correct box so that they are well protected in the attic until we need them!)


We are trying to soak up as much time with Uncle Awesome as possible before we move, but he refuses to help us pack because he doesn't want us to leave. The only practical solution was to delegate him the responsibility of child care... He and Cooper melt my heart.
