Bug Killer

Reagan has discovered that she doesn't like bugs. While we were playing at the beach (sand & water table) she killed every bug that came near her!

6 Month Stats

Cooper turned 6 months old today and what better way to celebrate than by going to the doctor! He got 3 more shots today and Dr. Brooks said he looks perfect in every way. I couldn't agree more!

Here are the stats: Weight: 16lbs 14oz

Height: 30 inches

After all the shots and flirting with the nurses, a boy needs his rest

He's almost able to sit up by himself
Cooper is such a giggle box
He's getting better at posing for the camera
He's watching Reagan dance and loving every minute of it!

My Daddy Rocks

Reagan's shirt says it all ~ My Daddy Rocks. She insisted on wearing this shirt today (even though she's worn purple to school for the last 2 days. And those of you who know my clothes calendar...let's just say, I was a little stressed about purple for a 3rd day this week!) Anyway, who can tell a girl she can't wear a shirt about her daddy? Certainly not me!

She has the best imagination ~ she loves to take her dolls to the beach (the bathroom)
Time to move on to another location
Now, we're at the bakery getting some candy and some beef (who knew you could get candy and beef at a bakery?)
Back to the beach for some swimming. Yes, I had to get in the floor and swim too! The things we do for love!

Giggle Box

Reason 736,836,285 why I love him....because he has the best laugh!!

Baby Food

We're still trying to find the baby food that Cooper will eat ~ we've tried rice cereal, green beans and now sweet potatoes. Still no luck! First bite ok, by the 2nd bite he's pursing his lips together and smacking the spoon out of my hands. Hmmm
1st bite of sweet potatoes ~ at least I got them in his mouth!

Next bite of sweet potatoes ~ he spit them out. Oh well!
Eureka!!! Applesauce!!! I know it's hard to see the evidence on his lips and chin, but just look at the smile on his face after tasting applesauce. Should've known...a boy after my own heart, he just needed something sweet!
He liked them so much, he started grabbing the spoon to get it in his mouth quicker!
Reagan even got in on the action ~ she was so proud of Cooper for eating baby food that she gave him a party hat (Reagan does love a party...any reason to party!)

Big Sister Reagan

Reagan trying to comfort Cooper in the absence of daddy. She talks to him in her sweetest big sister voice!

No reason for this picture other than it is a picture of the cutest girl in the world who misses her daddy terribly!

We Miss You Daddy

Reagan and Cooper are missing their daddy so much! They made a little video for him. Reagan told me to tell Greg to "come home. He lives in Hickory, North Caroline ~ not in Tennessee!"

In case you have a hard time understanding Reagan, she's saying, "Get well Gigi"

Here's a picture just so daddy doesn't forget what sweet smiles his kids have!

Our sweet friend, Ms Shawn came over with Pizza and spent a couple of hours with us. I don't know who enjoyed it more~me, Reagan or Cooper.

How Sweet Is This?

My two babies napping (ok, so only Reagan is really napping). As it always happens in our house, when it is time for one to go take a nap, it's time for the other to get up. Greg and I have (almost) come to grips with the fact that our next nap will be in 10 years or so!!

ZZZZ

I know the video is dark (you can see it on my camera), but just close your eyes and listen to the sweet sounds of Cooper sleeping ~ wishing you could sleep this good too!

Cool Cooper

Doesn't he look so cute in these sunglasses? We had to hurry and take a picture of him with them on before Reagan caught us ~ otherwise, there would be no picture of Cooper in her glasses.

Cooper and Daddy ~ like father, like son!

Weekend Visitors

Gigi and Papaw Sandidge came over this weekend to visit. I know Reagan and Cooper had a great time. Reagan had a new playmate and Cooper got spoiled ROTTEN (his bottom didn't hit the floor all weekend!). I didn't take too many pictures (hard to believe, I know) but we had a great weekend ~ even with sick kids!

A Cut Above

Reagan got her first real haircut on Saturday. She had her hair trimmed once before when she was 18 months old, but this was a big girl hair cut.

Reagan's hair before ~ and of course she has her purse with her! She got to put on a cape. She has a very serious look on her face, she wasn't sure if she wanted to get her hair cut or not.
Getting ready for the big cut! Reagan is so brave
Here's the final look. Doesn't it look so healthy and thick?
Reagan's trying to figure out where all her hair went.

Reagan was such a big girl getting her hair cut. I was so proud to be her mommy. In total, she had about 7 1/2 inches cut off her hair. She really looks like a big girl now ~ my baby is growing up!
