Valentines Day
Cooper had a wonderful first Valentines Day and enjoyed eating the paper heart we made together.

Yesterday, we attended Cooper’s…

Walking Buddies Again
Yesterday we went on a walk with my friend Loreen along the slough. We went on a few walks when I was on leave so it was nice to catch up again. For the first time Cooper started to cry in the stroller when we were walking back. I ended up carrying him part of the…

Room Updates
On my first day of staying home with Cooper we updated his room. Changing the comforter helped give his room more of a kid look and tie everything together.
