My Sick Baby

I forgot how awful it is to have a sick baby. With Mason it was always easy, ear infection-antibiotics-get better. Cooper has just been plain sick. We thought he might have an ear infection and took him to urgent care last Friday night (why do these things always happen at night or on the weekend) and after the earwax was cleared-no ear infection. As the weekend/week went on he got more snotty and started a nasty cough. I took him back to the Dr yesterday because I didn't feel like he was getting better and I didn't want to make another trip to urgent care on the weekend. Still just a nasty cold but one of his ears was a little red. We decided to treat with antibiotics hoping it would make a little bit of a difference for him. Now if we could only get him to take his medicine. I think he is the only child on the face of the earth that doesn't like the taste of amoxicillin. If Mason sees that we have it in the house he would probably ask for some, he always drank it right down. HAHA! :-)

urgent care last Friday

Of course he looks all happy and fine when we get there

Later in the week when he was feeling really crummy. 

Can you tell he just sneezed? 

Back at the doctor again, had fun ripping the paper.

This boy can make a mess!

Future Girlfriend?

We have some friends at the club who have a daughter Masons age. They love to play together and we decided that they definitely need to be together when they are older! They are just too cute together! Her mom and I took some pictures of them last week to use as blackmail when they are older. :-)

Thomas Lover?

We have recently been noticing that when Mason is watching Thomas, Cooper stops what he is doing and watches right along with his big brother. It isn't just the occasional glance, he stops playing with his toys and stares at the tv. Kinda funny and kinda scary all at the same time. Mason didn't' become a Thomas monster until much later.

Crib Time

Mason decided to climb in Cooper's crib when I pulled it out from the wall to change his sheets. He thought it was pretty fun to be in there and Cooper thought it was funny having his brother in there too! 

Really On The Move

So I wasn't joking when I said Cooper is rolling all over the place. Yesterday he was on the floor playing on his blanket, when all of the sudden I see him barrel rolling across the floor rolled up in the blanket! I would pay good money to go back and get it on video but it was all I could do to snap a few quick pictures. He rolled across the floor and into the wall and probably would have kept rolling if the wall weren't there. Soooooooo funny! This kid really can't wait to be mobile!

Hi Mommy

Progress

So, when Mason went to the dentist last year he wouldn't open his mouth and he screamed the entire time………not a great experience. However, with lots of teeth-brushing-practice and some bribery, (don't judge-you weren't there last year) we made it through the appointment! He definitely didn't get all of his teeth "cleaned", but she got a couple and the dentist was able to count all his teeth with no tears!!!!
Hopefully next time will be even easier!

Fun at the Park

We had Andy's company picnic this past weekend. The boys had so much fun on the swings!

Bucket Heads

Thought it would be fun to compare the boys at this age…….


Mason 6 months


Cooper 7 months

My Beautiful Boys

We were having a nice aftenoon on the deck and I decided to snap some pictures of the boys. Luckily Mason was willing to hold Cooper long enough for me to get some cute pictures!
I know I have a mother's bias, but my boys are pretty stinking cute!!!

On the Move

Cooper has been rolling all over the place and one day I found him under his jumparoo. He is going to be trouble before we know it!

Cooper so far……...

Breckenridge

We had a wonderful weekend in the mountains with the Buchholz family. We stayed right up near the base of the mountain where all the fun stuff was going on. We got to ride the gondola right from our condo over to the fun park and we could also ride it down to town too. Mason loved riding the gondola, so much to look at! The fun park was filled with stuff to do but of course Mason's favorite was the bouncy castle (even though he has one at home). Haha! He also got to go on the chairlift and ride the alpine slide down. Andy said he was laughing the entire way down! He kept talking about skiing too. It is going to be a fun winter with this kid! 

We had a great weekend and it was so nice to spend it with family!
