My 1st Halloween!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

We went over to Uncle Billy and Aunt Sue's house to see them and to visit with Cousin Taylor. Here is a picture of the two of us with Taylor's older cousins Justin (with me) and Ana ( with Taylor)

What a pair. A pretty little pink kitten and a cute little bat!

I must be in her space???

Justin and Ana's mommy Jen and I are having a little snuggle time.

Cousin Taylor and Aunt Sue after Taylor got all dressed up for Halloween.

Has anyone seen Robin???

How am I supposed to chase the bad guys on Halloween without a side kick?? Maybe I can get Daddy to put on the red and green tights??

Grandma Mel and Mommy picked out this great costume for my First Halloween. I couldn't wait for Sunday to show it off so here are a few pictures.

Me and My side kick!!

The Big Day

Me enjoying a nice warm bath.

Check me out, I got all dressed up tonight because Uncle Billy and Aunt Sue are getting married again.

Couple of hansome guys if I do say so.

Daddy had the camera and it was a little dark in the room but you get the idea. Uncle Billy and Aunt Sue saying their vow to each other.

The big Family. Cousin Brian came back from California for the big day. He and Cousin Ashley stood up with Uncle Billy and Aunt Sue. They sure take a good picture.

Brian, Aunt Sue Uncle Billy, Tayor and Ashley after the ceremony.

Me and Aunt Rhonda

Aunt Rhonda and I are getting to have a little one on one time since Tate went to go help his dad. So we decided to take some pictures before mommy and daddy came to pick me up after my sleep over.

My first Sleep Over

Mommy and Daddy went to Fargo to see George Strait, so I got to stay over at Uncle Jim and Aunt Rhonda's house. Here are some of the pictures from my great sleep over. Thanks again Aunt Rhonda.

Tate and I are enjoying a bottle. He seems like quite the "natural Big Brother"
Aunt Rhonda said that she was a little rusty in the feeding department. I kind of get distracted easy too. Goodthing a all of this comes off with a wash cloth.

A little guy time on the floor.

Tate made sure to have his mom bring in all of his baby toys a few weeks ago for when I come over to play. He is always thinking.

I'm not sure what I did here, I think I tried to roll out of it???

On the move

I finally was able to catch Cooper rolling over. He has managed to roll over several times for John but this was the first time I got to see him to it. (he rolled over for John right before this but I wasn't in the room)

Just having a snack

After talking with Nancy, we realized that Cooper is not a big fan of cooked carrots. So we've moved on to some sweet potatos instead.
Not a big of a mess as the carrots....must be a good sign.

That must have hit the stop. Sweet potatos are a good choice.

Visiting the cousin's!

We stopped by to see Aunt Sue and Taylor today. Taylor and I are just playing around on the floor with her toys.

What a cutie, Taylor is really good at posing for the camera and avoiding Coopers big feet that were flying about.

Taylor was trying to help Cooper roll over while they were playing. Or she was trying to keep is feet away from her.

What a pair!

We stopped by Aunt Rhonda's and Uncle Jim's today to visit everybody before next Friday. I'm going to be having my very first sleep over at Aunt Rhonda's and Uncle Jim's next friday while mommy and daddy go to Fargo for the night. So, we thought we'd catch up a little.

Tate trying to avoid the camera but he wasn't fast enough

Grandma Alice stopped by for a little one on one time. She couldn't believe how big I'm getting.

Got distracted by Aunt Rhonda and Tate who are off to the side!

5 MONTHS

Well it has been 5 months. WOW were has the time gone. I thought my 2 months of maternity leave flew by. These past five months have been amazing. Cooper has started to do so much now. He babbles all the time, and love to show you how good he is a blowing spit bubbles. We've started eating cereal which went over great and we were able to transition to squash. But now we've moved on to something even better. CARROTS!! We're going to have to work on not getting so distracted while we're eating but what we did manage to get in our mouth went really well. The pictures are backwards but you'll get the idea.

We loved those Carrots

Cooper sure kept his eye on the spoon while I was feeding him. All concentration here!!

First few bites and we aren't quite sure what to think

Nice and clean at the start of this project. Cooper gets so excited when he gets in his high chair because he knows that he si going to be eatign soon.

What a cutie

We went to the Well Baby Clinic on Tuesday to see who we were progressing since starting baby food. Cooper is 15 lbs 1 oz and roughly 24 1/4 inches long. We aren't quite sitting up but the physical therapist was impressed with how well he held himself up for her. Saturday mornign Cooper and John were playing on the living room floor and he rolled over twice for John. Do you think that I can get him to do it even once for me since?? Not a chance, and believe me I've tried all weekend. Cooper will get almost on his tummy and then her rolls back over to his back. But I'll keep trying!!

Weekend guests!

This weekend Grandpa George and Grandma Mel came over from Billings to spend some one on one time with me and Mom and Dad. I think they were really here for me but I won't tell mom!!

Here is grandpa and me just hanging out on the couch. Between dad and grandpa I think I know where I get my good looks from!!

Grandme really tried her hardest not to let me get that birp rag, but she's no match for my quick hands.

Me and grandpa getting in some play time

Some snuggle time with grandma. She really spoiled me this weekend. Just wait until you get to see the great Halloween costume he got for me!!

Just the two guys hanging out on the couch. It took a little bit to get warmed up tonight when grandpa and grandma showed up. But I had just woke up from a nap and had a wet diaper. Once those two things were taken care of then I was all over them with slobbery smiles.

Thanks for coming over to see me, can't wait until Thanksgiving when I will have a little longer time with the two of you. Love you lots Cooper, mom and dad

Just hanging out at home

I was able to get a picture of Cooper working on some tummy time after we got home tonight.
John was helping me get Cooper ready for his bath tonight. He really liked just being in his diaper.

We have moved up to size 3 diapers. Which are just a little too big, but I'm sure we will fill them out soon.

Cooper really likes to bite his burp rags or bibs or anything that he can get in his mouth right now.

That colorful giraffe is one of his favorite toys to play with. I think it is because he can grab ahold of the handle.

Da' Bears!!!

Mom asked if she could get a picture of her two "Armchair Quaterbacks" before the big game tonight. I'll have to tell you how the games turns out tomorrow, since I'll already be in bed by the time kickoff starts. As you can see from the picture I"m already starting to "fade" for the night.
