They're Here!

Cooper now has molar teeth on the left side of his mouth (if you're facing him). This tooth has been a little more of a struggle coming in ~ he didn't want to eat as much and was just a little grumpier than normal. Looks like the right side is ready to pop through any day now!

Cooper vs Sweet Potatoes

What else can you say? I think the sweet potatoes may have won!! Cooper likes to feed himself nowadays, and sweet potatoes aren't finger foods!!

What a mess! You probably can't tell by the picture, but there is enough green beans, squash, zucchini and sweet potatoes on the floor to feed a small army!
Gotta love him!
Can you see the sweet potatoes in his eye lashes?

Saturday

It was a nice day outside (although a little windy), so we decided to take advantage of it and play outside.
First, a snack must be had
Cooper playing soccer with daddy
Fun in the sun!
We came inside and played a little game of baseball on the Wii
Reagan was a very good pitcher
Greg taking a few swings

Date with Daddy

Today, Reagan and Greg had their 2nd daddy/daughter date. They had breakfast at McDonald's and enjoyed lots of good conversation!!

Wii Love It!

I've casually been looking for a Wii Fit for a couple of months now. I happened upon one Friday and thought it must be fate ~ I should buy it now. Normally, I'm not an impulse buyer, but I was on Friday! Since I don't have time to go to the gym, I'm bringing the gym into my house! Reagan has had a fun time with it too! Hopefully, this will get me in shape for our upcoming beach trip in May!!

Dinner with Cooper

This is what dinner time is like at our house...
Cooper finds a few new toys to entertain himself
Who knew shaking up Coke bottles could be so much fun?
If only he could get this bottle open
If he can't have a Coke, how about a Sprite?
This is why dinner takes so long ~ a few words between every bite

But he's just so cute!
And now a few words while eating his fruit
His appetite is back. Tonight he ate 3/4 of a grilled cheese sandwich, 2 adult sized helpings of fruit salad, and 2 Nilla wafers.

Snow Day

School was closed again today ~ this time for snow. We had less than an inch of snow on the ground, but any excuse to close school and stay home and play, right? When Reagan saw the snow this morning, she asked, "is it Christmas again?". When I told her no, it's just snow, she asked, "is it a holiday?". Well, kind of ~ they are out of school!

Had to get a picture before the snow was disturbed too much
She couldn't wait to go outside
Doesn't that look like fun?
When can we go outside?
Getting their 1st look at the snow
Cooper's not to sure about all this stuff.
Try not to notice the pink gloves on him that he had to borrow from Reagan
Shoveling the snow off her slide
Can I help?
Are you freezing out here like I am?
Helping Reagan clean off the slide
Whoopsie!!
She had a great time playing in the snow
Her main goal was to fill up her bucket with snow My snow bunny
Boots are in ~ feet are warm again!
30 minutes of dressing in layers of shirts, pants, socks, boots, hats and gloves...
20 minutes of play in the snow!!

No School Today

Reagan and Cooper were out of school today for the MLK holiday. This is how we spent most of our day.

...Having a party. (Reagan is practicing for her own birthday party in 3 months!)
... Eating raisins while riding on the dump truck.
...Watching TV with the baby, back pack and purse
...Having deep conversations over technical issues with the computer
...Being a princess (she got a new crown this weekend ~ don't know if you can tell by the picture, but it's purple)
...Being cute!
...Loading the dump truck to make a mess in another part of the house

The Purse

Ever wonder what's in the little purse that Reagan carries everywhere with her?
A pair of sunglasses, 2 wallets, a star, a game, a copy of mom's college diploma, 3 bracelets, 2 necklaces, 2 rings, 3 ponytail holders, a watch, 2 make up sponges, an ink pen, 3 tubes of lipstick, a color crayon wheel, an Easter egg, a cookie, a spoon, and a light up pumpkin
What more could a girl need?

So Cute Sunday

Just a couple of pictures from our day on Sunday.

Cooper looking dapper in his sweater he got from mamaw and papaw
Reagan's all ready to go to Jesus' house
A rock star joined us for lunch
For some reason, he loves the broom. I think we're going to have to invest in a child size one!

Dad's Dates

Greg had a big day on Saturday - 2 dates in one day!

He and Reagan went out for pancakes. He hopes to have a weekly daddy/daughter date.
That evening, Greg and I had a date night. Ms Deb offered to watch Reagan and Cooper for us. She even prepared dinner for them and put them to bed so we wouldn't have to worry about anything or come home too early. We are so blessed to have this special lady in our lives. I know Reagan and Cooper feel the same way ~ she treats them as if they are her own grandchildren!
