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?)

What Happened...

...to this little boy? Seems like only yesterday we brought him home.

Today, I found out that he will be moving up to the next class at school beginning in January ~ this means sleeping on a cot, eating table food at a table and chairs (no highchair), making new friends and having to fend for himself, which I don't think will be a problem!
Where does the time go?

The Weekend

Reagan and I made purple biscuits for breakfast Saturday morning. She had a great time mixing and putting the biscuits on the baking sheet.

Hard at work mixing the purple biscuits
Wouldn't you like purple biscuits too?
Enjoying her work!
Cooper enjoyed the biscuits too, although he probably would have preferred blue biscuits ~ maybe next time
Ready for church Sunday morning ~ doesn't he look so big?






The Clean Up

Reagan was enjoying cooking soup in her kitchen, until Cooper decided he would like to join her.
She said she was cleaning up, but we all know she was keeping Cooper from playing with "her stuff". She put everything on top of the kitchen so Cooper couldn't reach it!

Let's Hope...

...this is not what his future holds!



Look Who's...

...Is having his last "first holiday"
...Is now facing forward in the car seat (yes, I know he's not exactly a year old yet, but the boy was ready to turn around a couple of months ago ~ car rides are much happier now for all of us!)
All smiles on the way to school
Don't you just love his Elmer Fudd hat?

Bath Time Fun

I've started giving them baths together again ~ it's just easier to keep them both occupied at the same time with the same activity. They seem to enjoy each other for the most part! Reagan wasn't having a good night tonight and you can definitely tell it by the way she interacts with Cooper.
This is the happiest she was all night!
Trying to fake a smile, but you can tell by her eyes, she's not happy!
A little better smile ~ Cooper was too busy exploring to pose for the camera
Look how much fun he's having!
Finally, some laughter from Reagan

Wrestle Mania

Just a normal evening in the Sandidge household with the sweetest little boy ever.
I don't know who's having more fun ~ Cooper or Greg!

I Know It's Early...

...but we made Christmas cookies. I bought Reagan some Christmas cookie cutters along with red and green sprinkles and let her have fun!

Cutting out a gingerbread girl
Next is a star
Helping mom roll out the dough
Reagan's too busy to smile for the camera
The finished product ~ didn't she do a great job?

Tuesday Fun

Just a few pictures of our evening together

Cooper dusting the floor with his belly
Running after mommy and her camera
Cooper's mad because he can't have his way
I'm pretty sure she was telling on Cooper for something
Working an Elmo puzzle
She's getting very good at working puzzles all by herself

Cooper James

He's getting to be such a big boy ~ hard to believe he'll be a year old in 2 weeks!



Playing ball - Reagan has decided she likes to be the center of attention

Dancing to When the Saints Go Marching In - then getting mad when daddy won't give him the phone!
Dancing to a Happy Meal toy

Look Who Came To Dinner

Last week, Reagan and her class learned about Super Heroes ~ Bat Girl, Super Girl, Spider Girl. They learned how Super Heroes help their friends and make the world a better place. They even dressed up like them.

Here's Reagan as Bat Girl

The next week, they learned about pets and all the kids were allowed to bring their pets to school for show and tell. Ms Gomery said Reagan actually petted some of the animals which surprised us all. On Friday, each of the kids played veterinarian. Reagan wanted to be addressed as Dr. Reagan or Dr. Sandidge all weekend. She would ask, "Can the doctor have a cookie please?", "Would you like the doctor to check your heart?". Maybe her future is in medicine~let's pray for scholarships now!
Introducing Dr. Reagan Sandidge

She was watching "Daisy becomes a doctor" and wanted her picture made with the video screen
Dream big girl, dream big
She carried her doctor's kit around with her all day, even bringing it to the dinner table in case of an emergency!
Can Dr. Sandidge have more bread please?
