March 2010

Mama turned 31 years old this month so we all went to Timberlodge to celebrate her birthday. Cooper loved all the animals and Cole enjoyed looking at the baby sitting near us.




Cole loves spending time with Cooper. But the feeling isn't always mutual...especially when Cole wants to wrestle with Cooper.






Cole has been practicing using a spoon and does pretty well at it. But he also enjoys using his fingers ;)




Cooper had his first "playtime" outside with Daddy near the end of the month. They checked out the "woods" behind the house.

February 2010

Cole is learning to climb, climb, climb. He will use anything he can get his hands on in order to get himself to an elevated position. We thought Cooper was adventurous but he was nothing compared to Cole!

We had a "tiny" scare one morning when Cole got his thumb stuck in a toy camera. He was just fine as long as Mama didn't try to pull it off - that's when he screamed. But we couldn't just leave it on there so Mama called for backup. Daddy ended up having to use a pliers and rip apart the entire thing to get Cole's thumb out of it. His thumb was huge and swollen but once it got back to it's original size, it only had few scratches which healed quickly.

Cooper LOVES puzzles. And he is really good at putting them together. He also really likes "reading" books lately, especially his picture books. He loves to point to pictures and have Mama and Daddy tell him what the picture is. He really loves the animals, especially when Daddy makes animal noises.
