Super Mom
I am a very lucky lady who is surrounded by some incredible super moms and dads. Today we went to my old coworker Chelsea’s house to meet her twins and have a playdate. Madilyn and Cooper hit it off right away over their pumpkin shaped pb&j sandwiches with juice. Cooper loves going to play with older…

Spoon Ready?
It looks like Nicholas is not quite ready to use a spoon on his own yet. He really loves prunes so he tried very hard to get as many as he could in his mouth.

28 Months
Cooper’s verbal and social skills continue to blossom. He was very excited to prepare these quiches for his friends that were coming over. He continues to ask people “how you doing?” and saying hello to random people we cross throughout our day. A few of the funny word choices Cooper used for a long time…

Nana Time
Nana loved getting extra Nicholas time during this visit now that he is warming up to visitors more quickly. During the opening NFL game show Pharrell sang “Happy” and Cooper was hooked.

Cooper loved exploring the pumpkin patch and other activities with his buddy Madeleine. Special to this pumpkin patch was watching…

Tag Team Feeding
Nicholas is a super champ when it comes to flexibility with eating. He is very patient when his brother insists on “helping” and taking turns with me to feed him. Cooper signs “more” and “all done” to Nicholas. I am very excited when the day comes that Nicholas signs back to him.

Birthday Nana
Cooper loves when guests are in town and he finds out it is also their birthday. Nana requested a carrot cake and he was ecstatic to help make it for her. He super stirred the sifted powdered sugar for the frosting. It was a great distraction to help keep the cake ingredients in the bowl, but still giving…

First Tooth
Nicholas showed us why his finger and thumb have become so raw. Unfortunately, it wasn’t until after a 1.5 hour “cry it out” session at 2am in an effort by me to sleep train him last night. In the morning I found his first tooth and felt horrible about letting him cry so long in the…

Motorboat
Cooper and Daddy have started up swim lessons again. I think he likes swimming since he took the opportunity to practice blowing bubbles in the squash pan before I cooked them up to make food for Nicholas.
