I've been dreaming...

Now that I've lost all my baby weight (plus), I've dreaming of these:



These are a tad bit out of my price range, so dreaming is all I'll be doing :)

Thoughts...

Listening to my baby cry himself to sleep (I tried to get him to go to sleep, but he's a fighter), I decided to blog about all the random things in my head.

1. Daylight savings time is only good if you don't have kids and your husband is in town. Plus getting dark at 5 o'clock SUCKS!
2. Single mothers have the hardest job on the planet...including those moms who have hubbs that travel ALOT. You have it HARD!
3. A teething baby = no sleep.
4. Why doesn't mapquest start their directions on #5...I'm pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood!
5. I spend way too much time on etsy and facebook. I need to take a break from those and get some stuff done!
6. How can one 6 month old have so much laundry?
7. How the hell are you suppose to fold a fitted sheet?


Well, my son is still crying...it's been 15 minutes since I put him in there...should I go get him?

Have a great week everyone!!

The cutest pumpkin on the block!

Cooper had a big first Halloween weekend! It got kicked off Friday night with a kids party in the neighborhood. Cooper loved it so much he fell asleep at the party!

Saturday he was so tired from Friday, he slept from 7pm to 7am! Well...he did wake up a few times, but went right back to sleep.

We had a great time on Halloween day walking around with our neighbors and seeing all the kiddos get candy. There were tons of people in our neighborhood. We stayed up until almost 9 passing out candy. My last minute purchase of 300 dum dums at Kroger really saved the day. We were plum out at then end of the night...including what I had already bought!


Remember that LARGE head I was telling you about? Well...Coop's hat was tight! We didn't make him wear it long.

I was trying to get Jack to "stay" so I could get a good picture of him and Cooper. (see below) I was enticing him with a treat...check out that tongue! He could stand it! Cooper's can't quite sit up yet...so we resorted to below.

Mommy helping my little man sit up. He's not quite there yet! He can however...crawl all over...he's quick too!

T - E - double N - E - double S - double E

Jen and Blake stopped by to see their little man!
Coop's first tailgate - success! (Except we lost)

Our neighbors (not our tailgate neighbors...our real neighbors!) Go SVF!
Aww...the fam!

1/2 a year

Can you believe Coop is already 6 months old? I know every momma says this, but my little guy is getting so BIG! We fall more and more in love with him each and every day. His personality is starting to form...Cooper is very happy and loves to laugh. He is very determined and can now get to anything he wants with his "army crawl". (I think its abou ttime to baby proof!) He also gets very impatient sometimes (especially with food!) and cranky when he gets tired! Remind you of anyone?

We took a trip to see Dr. Greg yesterday and here are his stats:

15lbs 10 oz - 20th percentile

25.6 inches - 20th percentile

46.3 head circ. - 97th percentile! (his head houses his LARGE brain that will get him into Harvard one day)

Cooper is hitting all the marks and Dr. G said he couldn't ask for a more healthy baby...can I get a PRAISE THE LORD??!! We truly are blessed!

Here's Coop in his world:

Chillin' in a bucket

Chillin' with Mommy

Visitors.

Grammy and Poppy came to visit Cooper...he was very excited!
