Look What I Can Do

Cooper is sitting up. I have been working with Cooper on sitting up for a couple of days now and so tonight was no different except that he did it. I am so proud of him. He stayed up for a while so I had to share pics of the big event.

4 months

We had Cooper's 4 month checkup and he got an A+. He weighed in at 15lbs 2 oz and is 25.75 inches long. He is in the 50th percentile for weight and still the 90th for height. He once again got 4 shots. He did really good again this time around thank goodness. He is rolling all over this place and reaching out and trying to grab everything. We are working on sitting up now. Cooper and I go to yoga on Tuesdays and he just loves it. It is good for me too. I get all stretched out and get to exercise a little bit. Then on Thursdays we started doing Playwisely which is a class to help Cooper cognitive skills along with his physical development. So on those days when we get home Cooper is sleeps so good. I dont know if yall watch the TV show Yes Dear, but my bother in law Randy said that I am like Kim on that show with my mommy and me classes and stuff. So then I said well then that makes yall Jimmy and Christine. Ha Ha. it was pretty funny if you have seen the show.


Lets see what else has gone on over the past couple of weeks besides work because that is just no fun to talk about.

Our house is still on the market and still no offers. It does not help when 5 other houses are for sale on your street. There for a while we were not having any showings but this past week it has picked up and we have had a lot. We are still praying that God will bring someone along that will love the house and make an offer. The other house is going to get some foundation this week so things are moving along over there.

Trey and I went to the Rangers game last weekend with my cousin Amos and his soon to be wife and we had a really good time. Then on that Sunday my sisters and my mom and I went to the Dallas bridal show. For those that do not know my sister Sara the youngest is engaged to Jacob and so we get to have another wedding in the family. She just got engaged so she had not made any decisions yet, it is still early. They are thinking next summer sometime. I am so happy for her. She is going to be such a pretty bride.




Well that is about all that has happened. This coming week is just a busy work week so I am going to be extra tired.


hope yall have a good week

He is sooooo SWEET

Fireworks

Cooper got to see his first fireworks show this year. We went down to Midlothian and had a cookout with the family and our good friends and then went and watched to fireworks show. Cooper did pretty good. I know that I have said this several times but Cooper gets pretty irritated if he is not to bed around his bed time. So with that said the fireworks did not start until after dark so he was a little upset at the beginning but then when the show started he was watching in amazement. We had a lot of fun. We got to hang out with family and also Shelley, Jeremy, and Jax.

Cooper is now 4 months old and as active as can be. We have his 4 month appt this week so we will get to see how much he weighs. Cooper is almost rolling over. He tries everyday, I think he is going to get is by the end of this week. He also just talks and talks and talks. Trey put him down to bed one night and he said that Cooper talked to himself for 45 minutes. He is just like his daddy :) We also tried rice cereal for the first time. It was fun, he did not know what was going on. He mostly just spit it all out.

So that is Cooper news. Now lets see what exciting things I can tell you about Trey and I. The house we are building is coming along. Coming along a little to fast since we have not sold our house yet. They have made the frame to pour the foundation. We have had like 8 lookers for our house but no offers yet. It does not help that there is like 3 other houses for sale on our block. So if we do not sell our house we will be staying right here for the time being.

Other than the house stuff and work we have not had much going on. Just been hanging out with all of our great friends that we love so much. So as always here are some pics.

Our first Date

YEAH!!!! Trey and I finally went out on a date without Cooper. My youngest sister turned 21 on June 19th and so we took her out with my sister Alicia and her husband, Emilie my sister in law and Sara's good friend Reagan. We went to Pete's Piano bar and we had a really good time.

So Cooper got to go stay the night at my moms house. It was of course his first time to be away from us. It was kind of hard to wake up this morning and him not be there. But on the other hand I went like 42 hours with no sleep because I had worked Friday night and then had a lot going on on Saturday and then went out Saturday night so it was nice to be able to sleep in this morning a little. But i still got up earlier than i thought i would. I was anxious to go get Cooper.

My mom said he did good thru the night for her, but he did not go to sleep until almost midnight for her. He gets so distracted in places he had not been alot.

So how about that 2 postings in one day. Does that make up for me missing a couple of weeks?

Father's Day June 15th

Sorry I have not posted in a while. I really dont know how I let this many weeks go by without posting. Well lets see what I can excite yall with this time. We have been busy but not a lot has gone on. Does that make sense?

We have picked everything out for the new house. That was a little overwhelming but it helped that I had a pretty good idea of things that I wanted. It was just hard to stay within budget. Who was it that came up with the concept of a budget anyways :) ? I did the same color scheme as our house now. It just works with everything. As for selling our house, we have had several lookers but no one has made an offer yet. Can I just tell you that it always seem that they want to come look at this house at the worst times for us. It is just hard to get me and Cooper and the dogs out of the house in 15 minutes. But we have managed. And keeping the house clean and ready for showings at anytime, oh my. So that is what is happening with all that.

As for our little man. He is so great. Trey got to have his first fathers day and so we took a trip down to Houston to see my friend Kristi and took Cooper to his first Baseball game. Trey is a Yankees fan and they were playing the Astros so that was his gift to go to the game with Cooper. It was a little interesting being at the game at Cooper's bed time. He was trying to sleep at the game but then the crowd would get loud and he would get upset. Understandable! Didn't the crowd know that I had a sleeping baby and they need to use their whisper voice :)

Then we stayed until Sunday and on Sunday went to my friend Kristi's church. She went to Africa this past friday on a mission trip and so they had a commissioning for her and her friend Shala before they left. I was glad we got to be there for that.

Here are pics

Cooper's Best Friend

On May 27th my best friend Shelley had her little boy Jax. Cooper and Jax are like 2 1/2 months apart in age so Shelley and I got to be pregnant together. Then we found out we were both having boys and decided that they have to be best friends. Even when Cooper was in utero he got to hear about Jax. So on Tuesday Cooper and I went down to welcome Jax into the world. Wednesday Cooper got to meet him for the first time. It was the cutest thing. They both look like their dads. It is going to be so much fun to watch them grow up together like Shelley and I did. Even though we dont live real close they will still get to be good friends, how can they not :)?

This outfit came all the way from NYC from Kristi

Cooper is 3 Months on June 2nd. Oh time goes by so fast.

Memorial Weekend

To travel or not to travel that has been the question. So we decided to take the plunge and travel with Cooper down to Trey's parents house in Georgetown for the weekend. So this is how it went.

I worked Wednesday night and then came home and only got to sleep for about and hour and a half before Cooper could take no more of laying in bed and so I got up. Well we wanted to leave Thursday afternoon so we could miss traffic so I was like well I am up so I better pack. Oh my goodness. We were packed down like the Clampets. I felt like I could not pack enough. So then Trey got home and we were off. Well my mom calls and she wanted us to meet here in Waxahachie and eat lunch so that she could see us. Ok lets get real she did not want to see us she just wanted some Cooper lovin. So we stopped. Something had blown in and Trey's allergies were going crazy so he just did not feel good. So he could not drive anymore so I was up. Know remember when I said I only had 1 1/2 hours of sleep. That was in a 24 hours period. And I was going to drive us down 35, drivers look out. I was the better of us to drive. Isnt that scary. Trey and I just argued the whole day pretty much because we were both exhausted. I was sooooo not happy about having to drive because I had already made a point about not going to be able to drive and so he better be able to drive the whole way. I was actually more awake than I thought I would be. We made it to his parents house safe and sound. Cooper did great the whole trip down. He just slept like the little angel he is.

We got to see family that have not gotten to meet Cooper yet so that was fun. The weekend was really rough on Cooper. He did not sleep well at all. His naps were non existent and he slept so bad at night. When Cooper sleeps bad guess who else sleeps bad. He did not sleep good for 3 nights and neither did I. I guess him just not being in his own bed just thru him all off. We tried to keep his bedtime routine.

Cooper did though get to go swimming in the pool and he had a good time doing that. I took some pics so here you go.

Isnt he the cutest little boy ever
