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!!!

A Day in the Life

A glimpse into Cooper's day at school.

Napping ~ very important for a growing boy
Look how sweet he is on this cot
Playing with some of his friends (Cooper, Max, & Caitlyn)
And his friend Noah ~ Cooper and Noah have been friends since the infant room...they go way back!

More Valentine's Gifts

Reagan and Cooper received a package from Gigi and Papaw today full of gifts for Valentine's Day. Reagan couldn't wait to open them!

A stamping book
More crafts to paint
What else is in here?
A new outfit
She needed a better look at the stamp kit
If Cooper wasn't going to open his gift, Reagan would do it for him!
Maybe he'll try to open it himself
What's in here?
Tags are always the best presents!
They even taste good!
Showing off his card
Reagan had to stamp right away
Thank You!
When Reagan found the card in her bag, I told her to open it and she said, "no it's just mail. I don't need it"

Date Day

Reagan looks forward to Saturdays so she can have her "special daughter date" with Greg. They have such a good time! She told me I couldn't come with them because it is "just for Reagans and daddys". Guess I'll have to start having a mother/son breakfast date!!

Saturday at the Park

We had beautiful weather (72 degrees) here on Saturday, so we decided it would be the perfect day to go to the park and expend some energy!!!

They're all running toward the slides
"What should we do 1st?"
Cooper loved the slide
Whee!

He thought he'd try to slide by himself
Reagan's favorite is the swings ~ she likes to go "higher, higher"
Cooper enjoyed them too
Reagan's turn to slide
Nice Hair!!
Of course, no trip to the park would be complete without a snack break
More fun on the slide
Climbing up to the top

Christmas in February

Carolyn is a sweet lady that works with my mom who is so thoughtful to send Reagan and Cooper gifts for Christmas. They just got to open them today because of our timing of being home around the holidays.

Reagan loved the Mickey Mouse wrapping paper
She couldn't wait to rip of the paperReagan got a Cabbage Patch Doll named Tatum
Cooper received a dump truck
I know how this works
Thank you Ms Carolyn
Reagan played with Tatum all evening
She carried her around everywhere
Tatum even joined us at the dinner table

Reagan says it best...

Pitiful

This is how Cooper spent most of the day on Friday ~ sleeping. I was called to come get him from school both Thursday and Friday. Looks like he needed some additional snooze time. He's still not eating well, but his thirst hasn't diminished!

The Wait

Every evening, Cooper and Reagan wait anxiously by the window for Greg to come home. They love to hear the garage door open and run to the window to see who it is!

Waiting on daddy
Who will see him first?
Patiently waiting
And then, the wait is over!
How sweet is that? Don't you wish you had someone so excited to see you when you got home every day?
