Memorial Day Weekend Fun

Memorial Day weekend really snuck up on us this year. Things have been pretty crazy in our house the last few weeks. We finally finished most of the major projects on the house and it is now for sale. Hopefully we can sell our house by July 5th so we don't lose the great house we found in Peters Township, Coopy will be so happy with that new yard! I also started back to work on Wednesday so now I have to settle back into my full time working mom status which means even more planning than I did before. On Friday and Saturday we were in Confluence/Ohiopyle. The last time we were there Cooper was only a few months old, what a difference a year makes. He was totally content with playing with all the wonderful toys Granny had on the screened in porch and we didn't have to worry about him falling off the porch since it was screened in. The best of both worlds! We spent a good portion of Saturday at the beach there with Coop loving the water, the sand, and the rocks of course. Coop's personality/sense of humor has really come out in the last few days. Before he always did funny stuff but it was just always stuff we thought was funny and nothing he did intentionally. Now, it's quite apparent that we have a funny little man on our hands. The faces he makes are absolutely hilarious and he's just really such a little boy now its just great to watch. He also cut another tooth so we are up to 7 now and I'm almost positive his first year molars are trying to make their debut because he keeps jamming his fingers in the back of his mouth and yelping. The molar/tooth pain definitely made for an interesting car ride down to Confluence on Friday. Here is a slide show of the many faces of Coop when he is teething and desperate NOT to be in the car (I ran out of ways to distract him so I just start snapping pictures of him)........Here are some cute pictures of him swimming at Confluence and at the local pool...

Happy Birthday Coopy!

Cooper celebrated his 1st Birthday with what I think is a major milestone. He fed himself with a grown up fork! After he fed himself he then promptly picked up a pen, found a piece of paper and proceeded to act like he knew exactly what he wanted to do. It was quite a celebratory day. And just as an fyi, he used his left hand. So wht are the chances of the son of two lefties being a lefty himself? I guess we'll see.

His birthday party was just as lovely as his actual birthday. The weather was beautiful, a bit windy, but at least no rain. I think Coop was a little overwhelmed by so many people at Nana and Pappy's because he as a little clingy and quiet but he was certainly wound up by the end of the night since he pushed his bedtime back by an hour and a half even with only 1 short nap the entire day. Here are some pics of our wonderful 1 year old and a classic 1st birthday video....enjoy.
