On the Move

We are on the move people! As of last night, Cooper has mastered the art of the scoot. He has been moving around for weeks now, but yesterday he was on a mission....a mission to get the remote control in his mouth. We originally tried to get him to try to move to his book, but I guess that wasn't flashy enough. As soon as we put the remote in front of him, that was all he wanted. I am hoping this is not a glimpse of things to come...remotes over books :)

Here is a picture we caught of him in on all fours tonight. Be on the look out, I have a feeling we will be posting videos of the first official crawl very soon!

Trip to Colorado

This past week Cooper and I spent the week in Colorado with my family. It was my first time to try to conquer the airport with Cooper by myself. I think Colt was more stressed about me navigating the airport and security than I was. I must say we made it through pretty seamlessly (except for almost missing our return flight, but that was my fault...running late as usual). Cooper was such a good traveler. He slept on both planes and only cried once. Luckily it was when we were exiting the plane.

We definitely missed Colt (he stayed at home to work), but I had plenty of helpers all week. Cooper is one lucky boy. His aunts and uncle love him so much. I don't know what I would have done without them (and Gaga and Grandpa of course). At one point they even fought over who was going to change his diaper.

This is one of my favorite pictures from the trip. We did a lot of shopping and Cooper was getting a little fussy so Monica and Meredith started playing with him. It was so sweet. They were making faces at him and he was just cracking up. They caught this picture of him laughing.

The kids were on fall break so my mom had lots of fun things planned for us to do throughout the week. On Monday, Melissa, Monica, Meredith, Chuck, Monica, my mom, Cooper and I went to the Denver Aquarium. It was Cooper's first time to go to an aquarium. He LOVED it! He is at that age where he likes to watch things move so he was completely captivated by the bright colored fishies swimming around. I was trying to get him to look at the camera for this picture but he wouldn't take his eyes off the sea horses.

On Friday the whole family went to the zoo. The weather was absolutely perfect and we had a blast.

The zoo had so many animals that I had never seen before. My personal favorite was the elephant shrew (google it). It is crazy looking. It was Cooper's first time to go to the zoo so we loved introducing him to all the animals. I think his favorite were the giraffes.

Friday night my mom watched Cooper and the rest of the family went to the Jason Aldean concert. It was so much fun! If you haven't listened to his music I would definitely recommend it.

We had the best week. I feel so fortunate to be able to go and see my family when I miss them! Luckily, we will be getting to see each other quite a bit over the next few months with the holidays coming up.

3 Years of Happiness

This week Colt and I celebrated our 3 year wedding anniversary!

Tuesday night we had my cousin Mary Pat come babysit Cooper and we went out to dinner. It was the first time we had gone out to dinner just the two of us since Cooper was born. We had such a great night enjoying wine, yummy food, and just relaxing. We had planned to go grab some drinks after dinner, but ended up coming home so we could put Cooper to bed. It's amazing how much we miss him after being away from him for just a couple of hours.

How sweet are my boys?

It is so crazy to think how fast these 3 years have flown by, yet how much things have changed. 3 years ago Colt and I had just bought our first house in Tulsa, 2 years ago we had just moved to Little Rock and found out we were pregnant, and this year we celebrated our first anniversary as parents. I can't wait to see what God has in store for us over this next year.
