 Tate has become a big helper. He loves to help his dad and has even helped with the painting.

Coopers 1st steps....on film

Been trying to get this for a while but every time I pull out the camera Cooper wants to play with it and stops walking. So....finally tada...

Few Pictures from the End of Feb

  Not just any strawberries dipped in chocolate, but strawberries dipped in Nutella!

Mmmmm, food Good!

Jeepers Creepers, where'd you get those Peepers

Jeepers Creepers where'd you get those eyes?

Saw the camera out and wanted to get a few poses and pictures in her MOST Favorite Dress. Would wear it everyday if I'd let her.

New Favrite toy

Cooper 6 months and counting

This is our Happy, Screechy little....or not so little baby. He's growing too fast!

He weighed in at 19 lbs already, has blue eyes, blonde hair that looks red in the sun and is a social butterfly giving a big smile to everyone...well everyone except Leslie's Camera.

 There is not a lack of love for this boy. Everyone loves to hold him, especially his brother Tate who can't get enough of him. Cooper's just starting to sit up, loves to eat which we just started as Mom isn't ready for her baby boy to grow any older and is a great observer of all that's around him.

 

Tummytime is never an issue. LOVES IT!

Zoo Days with Friends

We had a bright and shiny day somewhere around Pres Weekend so we decided to meet up with some friends and introduce Teryl to the Pt Defiance Zoo. It wasn't too crowded, the weather and company was perfect what more could you ask for?

Fish are almost as big as these 2

Armadillo

Love all the smiles! McKenna wanted to bring her Jaguar so she wouldn't want to buy anything. Sounded good to me.

Mel, Jorelle, Genny & Teryl

Tate showing us his map.

Closest we've ever seen the Polar Bears-playing with a kids slide.

 

Good thing we had this picture-this lil guy disappeared right after getting off this ride He heard me say let's go and headed for the car. We were right near the exit-and it wasn't until he exited he realized we weren't there and couldn't get back into the zoo. Gave me a lil scare when I realized he wasn't just around the corner. The nice zoo staff announced a code red and we found Tate in a jiffy. 

Look how happy she is. :) We all love the Carousel.

Puzzles & Growing up...

 One morning before school Tate was looking through The Cat in the Hat, and saw a picture of a puzzle we had so he ran and got it and put it together.

I love the how proud he was and how well he put the puzzle together by himself.

Cooper is sitting up...and a few days later...crawling. Growing TOOOO FAST!
