A good reason to dance......

Our weekend

Daddy had to work alllllllll weekend and was gone pretty much from 6am-8pm every night and it was the pits! By Sunday I was pretty much exhausted and Coop was quite obviously sick of me. We had some good times but we are glad Daddy's schedule is back to normal.

When Cooper meets a Bethel Bakery Brownie......'nuff said.....

Mommy got a break while Pap and Coop got serious with a book.....

Christmas and the New Year

We had a wonderful Christmas with Cooper. He is, of course, spoiled rotten by this point and his toy room is sufficient evidence. Unfortunately most of our pictures are in the form of video on our new Flip camera and the video is so long it likely won't post online. I'm sure the following description will give you an idea though, toys, toys, and more toys. The blowup climbing wall was a huge hit and now takes up the entire sitting room. Which is fine since that is one of those useless rooms anyway. His love for trains has become apparent since the only thing that trumps the climbing wall is the "choo choo". Nana and Pap were smart enough to get one that he can control perfectly with the kid friendly remote control. I'm certain he now has enough clothing to fit him for the next 6 months.

We spent our first night away from him on New Year's Eve. He stayed with Nana and Pap while Steve and I celebrated our 3rd Anniversary. He did well, although his sleeping habits are still awful even though the tubes in his ears have done wonders in every other aspect. By now it's obvious that Cooper is just not a good sleeper. He definitely got that from me....

Although these aren't very Christmas-y pictures they are one that I just got developed on my "old fashioned" non digital camera and they came out quite well.......

Personally I think this is one of the best photos EVER of Coop......

Cooper and Daddy playing inside the inflatable climbing wall....And this is what it looked like out our window when we were getting all that snow.....lots and lots of HUGE icicles

South Park ducks and a not so wild turkey.

Finger Painting Fun

Watch out Tony Hawk....

Monday was my day off.  So Cooper and I went to the rec center to play.  Behind the rec center is a skateboard park that Cooper wanted to check out.

Doctor appointments and days off with Dad....

So Cooper is still fighting an ear infection...Wednesday morning I take Coop to the doctors and we are told it's probably time for tubes.  That afternoon I was able to get an appointment with the Children's so they can check him out.



I had to interrupt his afternoon nap for his appointment at Children's.













This is Cooper waiting for the doctor....wishing he was outside.
















Being silly.....still waiting for the doctor.

Afterward, we had to go grocery shopping and pick up his meds.  At home, Coop is in charge of calling the cats when it's time to feed them....so when Cooper saw the cans of cat food at the grocery store, he grabbed one and went to work calling gabby.  Here is the video....

Monday I was off, so that meant PLAY DAY for Cooper and I.  We recently discovered the Peters Twp Rec Center.

So Monday morning we headed out to play.....

We checked out the soccer fields...
















Then it was time to shoot some hoops.....

I think we are played out....
