Pumpkin Patch Pictures

Catching up from September

Here are a few pictures of what we've been up to the last month and a half...

All smiles!

Fun with butterfly wings!

Just flying around

We've been cheering for the Tigers!  #1!

Sometimes it's that not easy getting a good picture of the two of them!

Cooper's slowly getting around more and more.  He rolls himself all around the mat, can push up and will reach and pull to get what he wants.  It's not going to be long before he's crawling, but I'm not wishing for that to happen just yet...

He's also cutting his top 2 teeth.  He had a rough night last week.  He was running a mild fever and was up every few hours (which is not like him), but he woke up smiling the next morning and they haven't seemed to bother him since. 

Over the weekend we attended Creek Fest at the museum and library down the road from us.  It was fun.  We met up with Kate (Aubrey's friend from school) and her family.  There were games, face painting, and crafts.

Getting a butterfly.

This is the only picture I got of Kate.  She never stands still!

Cooper and Claire had fun, too!  Claire is Kate's little sister and is also in
Cooper's class.  They are 2 &1/2 months apart.

Last one... I asked Aubrey to make a card for Pops' birthday last week.  She's very good at writing her name, but I had no idea she could write so many letters!  I started spelling out the words and I looked down to see this...

A few more pictures from August

Cooper loves playing in his Exersaucer.

Especially when Aubrey is close by to entertain him!

Aubrey still asks to hold Cooper.  We try to oblige as much as possible.

French braids have become the new fashion statement in our house. 

Sitting Up

Look who's sitting up all by himself!!  It took a few weeks to get there, but it seemed like everyday he got a little stronger and could hold himself better. 

This was right at 6 months and he still was holding himself up with his hands. 

Aubrey thought it was funny that he landed on her arm.

So did Cooper!

Doing everything he can to get that book in his mouth.

Slowly his balance got better and better.

Sitting straight and tall.

New toys to play with.

They are too sweet!

Aubrey practicing her teacher skills

Story time is a popular event in our house.

Labor Day Cold Front

After a 20+ days of greater than 100 degree temperatures and last Saturday's highest temperature ever recorded at the airport of 109 degrees, the cold front that blew in over Labor Day weekend was very much appreciated!  It was so nice to be able to spend some time outside and enjoy the cool, breezy weather.  We spent time outside all three days, which is something we haven't done in awhile. 

I love our double jogging stroller and that Cooper is finally old enough to sit up and enjoy the ride!

Cooper loved the swing!

So did Aubrey!

He's a cool dude!
