Gotta be Fair

To be fair I thought it would be good to post an adorable picture of Mason too! Can't believe he is going to be 3 in 1 week!


So handsome!

4 Months Old

Hard to believe it has been 4 months since Cooper joined our family. He is getting to be so much fun and getting bigger/stronger everyday! A big change from last month is that his mohawk is slowly going away (as is the rest of his hair). He started rolling over and is drooling like CRAZY. Lots of talking while chewing on his fists as well. He is still cute as a button (no mommy bias at all).

We go back to the pediatrician in about 2 weeks so I will update you on just how big his has gotten then.





This picture about sums it up. Silly boy!

Cooper Month by Month

So much fun to watch him change and grow!

Training This One Young

He only held it for about 30 seconds before the bottle went flying, but hopefully Cooper will hold his bottle sooner than Mason did.

New Toys

I started pulling out all the old "baby" toys and it was just in time becasue Cooper has been loving all of the new things (well, new to him at least).
He was very entertained last night with his spinny toy while Mason and I ate dinner.

Brotherly Love

Mason loves his brother so much and many times tries to share things with him. Yesterday he tried to share his juice with him (stuck his juice cup in his mouth and tried to get him to drink it). We explained that Cooper only drinks milk right now and that he could help give him his milk. I unfortunately wasn't quick enough with the camera to catch the juice picture but I did get a couple of him helping with his bottle. :-)

Mason's Tunnel

Mason likes to build "tunnels" and if I do say so his mom is pretty good at designing/building them. :-)
We had fun playing in this one yesterday until he decided it would be fun to climb on top of his tunnel…….oops, no more tunnel.








Really mom, another picture? HA!

Rolling Over

Cooper was playing nicely on his playmate making beautiful music with his feet when I walked in the living room to discover this. :-)

Getting so BIG

Cooper doesn't go back to the DR for another month so I did a weight check on him and the little chunker is 16lbs (at 4 months). The funny thing is that Mason was almost a pound bigger at the same point (16lb 14.5oz). How quickly I forget how big he was. Either way I think I am going to have 2 very big boys on my hands. Well, 3 if you include Andy. ;-)


He was sitting up by himself then slowly started falling over.


Such a happy boy (unless he is hungry, tired, or has a messy diaper). HA!

Mason & Porter Jumping

Here is a short little video of the boys jumping in. They did this over and over and over........

Arizona

Just got home from a fun week in Arizona. We went down last Friday to visit with Grandma and Grandpa then we met up with friends from residency and rented a house. Don't know what we were thinking when we thought it would be fun to put 6 kids in one house but somehow we survived. :-)

The kids all had a blast. Our house had a swing set and a great pool so there was lots of outside time. Mason was a fish and spent most of his time in the pool. Can't wait to get him in lessons this summer. He is so close to getting it on his own.


Mason and Porter swimming in the pool.


Cooper hanging out in the shade. No sunscreen yet for this baby!


Mason and Porter like jumping in the pool together.


Popsicle break. Mason, Owen, and Porter


The 3 boys getting some ipad time in the morning. It was so funny watching the 3 of them. And it was actually quiet.


Cooper hanging out in the shade by the pool in the morning.


Baby Travis playing by the pool.


Swimming with my boys!


Mommy and Cooper


Mason spent most of his time in the hot tub squirting water at things. (mostly people)


He also practiced his swimming.


Movie Night


Cooper and Grandma

Sneezing is Funny

I sneezed and Cooper thought it was funny so I kept on sneezing to make him laugh. The things we do............HA!

Brothers

Here are some of my recent favorites of both boys. Mason loves his little brother so much!

Happy Baby

Cooper is always such a happy baby in the morning.


He is starting to hold on to things better and play with certain toys.





After a little while on his playmat this is what I found…….played too hard and fell asleep. :-)

Happy Easter

We had a nice and relaxing Easter Sunday. Cooper had his first trip to church and only cried part of the time. :-)
Then we had brunch at my parents house and spent the rest of the day relaxing at home watching the Masters.


Me and my boys!


Cooper's face cracks me up in this one……..I feel like his thinking,"Why are you letting him hold me?" HA!


Looking very cute in his Easter outfit.


Playing with his new bubble gun from the Easter Bunny!
