Let's Get Ready to Tumble!!

Reagan wanted to get her picture made before she went to school today. She has her tumbling class on Wednesdays and that gets her out the door in a hurry (it also helps her take a nap during the day for which we are forever grateful!)

New to Him!!

We brought out one of Reagan's favorite toys when she was Cooper's age and he loves it too. Although his feet can't touch the ground yet, he managed to get all the way around the circle to see all of the toys in the exersaucer!
He's trying to figure out exactly what this thing does!

Reagan's Got the Blues

The lady at the pharmacy gave Reagan a lollipop yesterday and it turned her blue. She loved showing off her blue lips, blue teeth and blue tongue. Fortunately, it all came off in the bath!

4 months...already?

Hard to believe, but our little man is already 4 months old. We went to the doctor today for a check up and he is the most perfect baby boy (Reagan is the most perfect girl, of course)! He now weighs 14lbs 15oz and is 26inches. He call roll over from his belly to his back, has started grabbing for his toys, and has the most precious smile that can melt anyone's heart!

Chewing on your thumb always makes the pain of shots go away!

This is a rare sight, Cooper with only 1 finger in his mouth, and it's his thumb

I've been told these are the same two fingers his dad sucked when he was a little boy

Still in a good mood after getting 3 shots today

Lazy Sunday Afternoon

Here are a few photos from the weekend. It was rainy here, so we just stayed inside and played.

Cooper's finally able to sit up in his BeBe Pod chair! I thought he'd like it more than he did yesterday, but he probably was having memories of not being able to sit up and falling over. Hopefully, in time, he'll like to sit in it enough so he can be an active part of the family! The boy is all smiles - unless, of course he's having one of his daily meltdowns (which he must have learned from watching Reagan!)
Aren't they the sweetest brother and sister in the world?? Reagan was explaining what she wanted on her birthday cake and whom she wanted to invite to the party! She can't wait for her birthday...we have to sing "Happy Birthday to Reagan" almost everyday

Snoozin'

Cooper has been sleeping through the night for about 2 months. Until last night...he woke up at 4am and wanted to play. That is of course until we brought him downstairs to our room so he wouldn't wake up Reagan. As soon as he got in our bed, he was out!!

Hoppy Easter

Here are a few photos from Easter. I also had a sweet video of Reagan saying "Happy Easter Bunny", but due to an infection that left her in her birthday suit all day, the video can't be posted due to obscene material!

Cooper and Reagan ready to go to "Jesus' House"

Cooper trying to call the grandparents to let them know what the Easter Bunny left

Reagan got a Dora jump rope in her basket - she's been asking for a jump rope for a few months now

She had a great time hunting Easter eggs - we hid & hunted eggs about 6 times, then she decided she would hide them and let me find them. Apparently I didn't find them fast enough, so she brought me the eggs I hadn't found by the time she was ready to eat her snack!!

Easter from Mamaw & Papaw Carpenter

Reagan and Cooper received an Easter box from mamaw & papaw - I also taped this on video, but for some reason, can't get it to post. Until I can get it uploaded, here are a few pictures.

Reagan opens the box as Cooper watches intently!

Reagan got some bunny ears

Reagan also got an apron, oven mitt, and chef's hat, but all she wanted to wear was her "glove"

Cooper got a stuffed frog, which Reagan quickly decided that it was hers (so, once again had to go spend a little time in time out, which unfortunately is becoming a nightly ritual in our house)

Cooper and all his loot!

Reagan wore her new Easter shirt from Mamaw & Papaw to school on Thursday, she was so festive for her class Easter Party

Easter basket from Gigi and Papaw

Reagan received the 1st of her Easter baskets on Sunday. This one is from Gigi and Papaw Sandidge. A little early, I know, but we need to space out the gift giving!!

Random photos of the week

Finally, a spring-like day where Reagan could go outside and play and burn off some energy!!! Every morning, this is how we find Coooper in his bed. He has this big 'ol bed all to himself, but he prefers to sleep in the corner. We actually get up several times a night to check on him and pull him back down to the other end of the bed, but no matter how many times we get up, he's always in the corner. He's sleeping 11+ hours a night, so he must like it!!!

Reagan spent the evening with Ms Deb on Monday while Greg, Cooper and I went to our small group at church. When we picked her up, she had "found" these flowers for us. Ms Deb was kind enough to put them in a vase and let us bring them home to enjoy at the table!

Cooper the Pterodactyl

Cooper is becoming quite the little conversationalist. He's found his voice and he loves to hear it. We joke that he sounds like a pterodactyl squealing!!

Kickin' It

Cooper has learned how to kick his bouncey seat to make the music play. He just lit up when he realized what he had done. He has the sweetest smile and I could watch him smile all day!!
