Cupcake
Cupcake is very special to me, my grandma made it for me when I was little. A side note, yes the name confirms I have had a sweet tooth my entire life. It has spent every night of Cooper’s life under his crib. Recently he has been dragging it out to play with it and…

14 Months
Development: Nicholas mastered 5 signs in just a week. He can now say: more, all done, change (diaper changes), milk and eat. He quickly put his pulling-up skills to the test and started using a walker to walk the entire length of the living room. Nicholas has started climbing the stairs, but is still working…

Getting Dressed
Cooper is starting to enter the “do it all by myself” phase of toddler hood, but it is still moving at a very slow rate. He can now put his own undies and pants on and take his shoes off. He used to take his undies and pants completely off every time he used the potty,…

School Pictures
It was Cooper’s second school picture and Nicholas’ first this year at Toddler group. We were able to get both of these pictures taken on the first attempt with some heavy negotiating leading up to it.

PEPS Hikes

Walker
Like with many milestones Nicholas continues to impress us with his early mastery. His first time using the walker he cruised across the entire living room floor. No single or couple steps for this guy. Once he pulled up for the first time that day he was able to pull up on everything and did…

Children’s Museum
Still one of Cooper’s very favorite parts of the museum is getting to drive the bus. It has been just a few months since we were last at the Children’s museum and it was amazing how much more interactive Nicholas was with the exhibits. Above he is displaying the baby treadmill as he continuously tried…
