Play Time

It was another beautiful evening, so we didn't waste a minute of valuable play time!  

Trucks on the road!

 Rollin' along

 I don't know how she convinced him this was a fair race!

 tongue out = concentration

 JOY on her face

 Cooper was the "leaf man" and tried to pick up all the leaves in the yard

 after all that hard work, he needs a break!

 but, he's back at it in no time!

 A friend from down the street came to play

 he loves to be the center of attention

Happy Birthday to Me!!

Today is my 38th birthday. I told the kids all I wanted was for them to get their picture made with me. We took several pictures and these are the best I could get!

not too good!

Here is the front of Reagan's card

And the inside 

 the front of the card Cooper made me was too light to scan, but here are the stickers he put inside

Here's another of the 20 or so pictures we took!

The Great Outdoors

After dinner and homework were taken care of, we spent the rest of the evening outside ~ riding scooters, driving trucks, collecting leaves and drawing with chalk. 



a little unfair, but they raced each other for about 30 minutes

Weigh In

Cooper had his follow up appointment this afternoon.  The doctor wanted to see if he was able to maintain his weight from his last weight check before deciding what to do next. 

Thankfully, Cooper has gained 1.5 pounds...Praise the Lord! 

Dr B wants to do another weight check in 4 more weeks just to make sure, but he feels certain that there is absolutely no medical reason why Cooper dropped a few pounds.  He thinks it was just a phase of not eating.  As for his belly hurting, if his complaints get more frequent, we'll go for an ultrasound just to be thorough, but at this point, Dr B doesn't think it's necessary or that it would show anything.

my healthy baby big boy!

Get Outside

We went to church this morning, had lunch, and sadly, it was time for Gigi and Bubba to go back home.  So, we passed our time in the afternoon by playing outside again.

playing in the sandbox

 Meet Schneider ~ Cooper has discovered the loop on his pants and loves to have keys hanging on it!

 Cooper brought out the big trucks to play

 he really wanted to play in the neighbor's muddy yard
