When Cooper was born I didn’t post much to this here blog about his birth story. For the most part that was intentional. I tend to be very private in some ways and very open in other ways (don’t ask how I decide to categorize things, there isn’t much rhyme or reason) and at the [...]
I don’t profess to know anything about parenting. I basically go with the flow, do what feels right, and rely on Google for everything else. As we prepare for Ellen’s arrival, we’re doing our best to prep Cooper. We’ve read books about new babies and my parents brought [...]
As Cooper likes to say, he likes to “go, go!” He’s hard to keep up with no matter what, but with me putting so much energy into growing a baby I think he gets away with more stuff than he normally would. Here are some of his recent shenanigans.
Cooper is doing an excellent job of making us want to pull our hair out one minute and having us collapse in laughter the next. Luckily, the funny moments almost always overshadow the frustrations. He loves shoes and he isn’t too particular about whose they are or what they look like. (Although Noel’s [...]
Cooper hit the 18 month mark last week. When we took him to nursery, his eyes got really big when he saw all the toys and he looked at us as if to say, “How come you’ve never taken me here before? This is way better than sitting through two hours of those boring meetings [...]
Saturday night Cooper wore his Max suit and made mischief of one kind and another.
When he escaped from our church building not once, but twice and was hightailing it to the road, we called him “WILD THING!” But, we didn’t send him to bed without any dinner.

It’s crazy to me how much Cooper is growing. I feel like he learns 10 new things everyday, which puts me to shame since I’m lucky to remember anything I’ve learned in the past 10 months He’s got a few words under his belt (tree, shoes, this, dog, and of course mom and dad) [...]
Last night we got back home from a trip to Utah. Somewhere in our travels, Cooper and I both managed to catch some sort of a head cold. Between not feeling so hot and trying to cut the remainder of his teeth simultaneously, last night was a bit rough. Funny thing is though, as I [...]
The other day Noel and I were hanging pictures in our living room. To make sure everything was even and centered we measured and then made marks on the wall with a pencil. Unfortunately, Cooper was watching and now thinks you are supposed to draw on the wall with pencil . . .
Since moving, we’ve made friends with a handful of families with young kids. We’ve been able to be more social with park dates and family friendly parties, but best of all we’ve been able to swap kids and go on dates. We went on a date two weeks ago, so last [...]
