Caged Naps
Cooper successfully takes naps in his crib at daycare, so we are now trying this at home, too. Previously he could sleep for an hour if held, but only 20-30 minutes if he was put down in his crib. We have already been lucky enough to get an hour+ long nap on the weekend, which is fantastic for everyone as Cooper…

Roly Poly
The next big milestone has been reached: Cooper rolled over! It happened on Dad’s watch while I was gone for a pedicure with a girlfriend. Before returning home I checked my phone to see this picture of one very smiley Cooper on his belly. While I was gone he rolled over 5 times in a row from back to…

PEPS Party
At Cooper’s school they had the infants finger-paint so I wanted to try it out when we hosted PEPS. Cooper’s friends Nolan, Madeleine and Luca and their moms came over for the fun. I must admit it didn’t go nearly as well as I thought it would (not much color on the paper with the finger-paint),…

This evening the whole family made the big trek to Seattle to see Grandpa (my dad) be inducted into the DECA (high school marketing program) hall of fame. It was fun to get everyone dressed up and see my dad so surprised to get the award and have so many friends and family in the…

Giggles
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kb-agHgnxSg It finally happened with Daddy. Rob was able to make Cooper giggle. I have tried for months and have not had success, but tonight on the changing table Rob got Cooper to giggle and it was repeated many times. It was so cute to watch them. I look forward to a lifetime full of…
