HELP ME DECIDE!! :)

I decided that today was the day to go and take some photos for our Christmas card this year.

- - - - -

A friend told me about a fun red wall and since I already had the outfits...

Off we went!

- - - - -

The only problem is now there are so many cute ones I dunno what to do!

AHHH

- - - - -

Here is where you come in...I think I will use 3 to 4 pics...

Which ones are your faves?

Lemme know what you think!

Big Week for Coopie

This weekend Matt put the pedals back on Cooper's bike.

- - - - -

 We have learned that taking the pedals and teaching them balance first is pretty helpful.

- - - - -

Coop had been spending a ton of time riding down the driveway practicing his balance all week.

- - - - -

The minute Matt put the pedals back on, he was OFF

FEARLESS!!!

Matt ran behind him for all of 30 seconds and he was OFF

- - - - -

He had his balance and had ABSOLUTELY no troubles doing it himself!

To say he was THRILLED  and PROUD would be an understatement!

Way to go buddy!

- - - - -

We are SUPER proud of you Coopman!

Cooper's First Lost Tooth

Yesterday Cooper was eating lunch and wiggling his front tooth with his tongue when all the sudden it just FELL RIGHT OUT!

- - - - -

At first he was excited but then he touched the empty spot where his tooth had been and noticed the slightest trickle of blood...

IMMEDIATELY his face turned from thrilled to

THIS

After lots of pep talk, he became re-excited

And then we got our first TOOTHLESS GRIN!

Yeah for Cooper! I bet the next one will be any day now!

Halloween Party at Mom's

For Halloween we also had a big family party at my Mom's!
