Darker

Today I went from this...

...To this

Confessions

Monday will be my 36th birthday, and I must confess ~ today I pulled a gray hair out of my head. I was hoping it was a very, very blonde hair that would have a dark root ~ not so lucky this time! What is happening to me? Is it all down hill from here? I need to get to the salon and quick!!!

Friday Fun

We're ready for the weekend around here!!

Cooper is fascinated with all things cleaning...today it was the hand held vacuum

Ms Vickie braided Reagan's hair at school today ~ isn't it cute? I wish she'd let me braid it once in a while

Sweet girl

Notice a Resemblence?

We previously thought Cooper looked like Alton Brown from the Food Network, but lately his hair has been bringing back memories of the 80's band Flock of Seagulls!! What do you think?

We may have to shave his hair off completely and start over!!!

Wanted...Haircut

If Cooper doesn't get a haircut by a professional (because it we all know what it looked like when I tried to do it myself) soon....

He may start wearing hairbows like his sister!

He thought it was funny for awhile ~ daddy, not so much!

At least it kept the food out of his hair for this meal (poor thing, he even had to borrow his sister's "girl bib", can't the boy have anything manly?)

9 Month Stats

Hard to believe, but Cooper will be 9 months old on Saturday. We had his 9 month check up originally scheduled for Friday, but due to unforeseen circumstances with Reagan (I'll get into that later), we moved his visit to Tuesday. He weighs 20.6lbs (50th percentile) and is 30 1/2 inches tall (95th percentile). Dr. Brooks said he is perfect in every way, and we couldn't agree more!

Who can resist this face or that hair?

He's trying to figure out a way to get up the stairs
Now, to Reagan's story...for the past few weeks (maybe months) Reagan constantly had her fingers up her nose. I thought, she's 3, that's normal right? Well, evidently not. Before we went to see The Wiggles on Saturday, I sat Reagan up on the counter to brush her teeth. She looked at the ceiling for some reason and I noticed something was in her nose. After much digging and crying ~ a sequin came out. And let me tell you, it was nasty! She must have gotten it from an art project at school and I don't think she put it up there on purpose. Anyway, for the past several days, she has had an odor coming from her mouth and nose area and her nose has had a discharge. So, I called the doctor and they wanted me to bring her in to see if there was anything else in her nostril. Dr. Brooks couldn't see anything and said the odor was normal, but if it persisted for more than 5 days, we would have to send her to an ENT doctor so they could get a better look at her nose. The joys of a 3 year old!!! By the way, Reagan weighs 31.8lbs.

Now We Know...

who Cooper looks like ~ Alton Brown from the Food Network. One of my co-workers mentioned that to me this week, and I must say, I have to agree!! However, I bet Alton has to pay a pretty penny to get the haircut Cooper has naturally.

So what do you think?

Having a little fun with Cooper's hair at bathtime!

What do you think, should this be his new look?

Big Spikey

After bathtime, we decided to give Cooper a new "do". His hair is so fluffy and it usually spikes up by itself, but this time we gave it a little extra help!

Reagan's new "do"

Reagan's favorite number is 8 and she's always asking for 8 ponytails - so after church I decided to give in and let her have her 8 ponytails. She loved them and wore her hair like this all day. I just hope she doesn't want to wear it to school like this!!
