1st year check up


Adam didn't know reindeers really existed


this horse was HUGE!!


talking to the horse.. giddy up!



train ride, I think he sucked down 20 oz of water/juice the 2 hours we were there!

Cooper passed his first year check up with flying colors. Unfortunately he has become a toddler, throwing fits, not eating, you name it! He weighs 23 lbs 7 oz, and is 31.25 in long. Crazy, right? He was so brave when it came to his shots. He just looked up at us with those innocent eyes while the nurse quickly stabbed him in each thigh. He let out a terrible scream, but dad scooped him up and calmed him down in a couple minutes.

airing out that bottom : )


asleep with his feet out of the crib.. too cute!

my little destroyer!
He isn't saying any words yet, I cannot wait for that first real momma! He is cruising around the house, though. He loves to run to the stairs and have me chase him, baby gates to come soon! Adam and I have found a great babysitter, and we went on a date night last night. A note to all parents.... go on date nights!!! Here are a few pictures of Coop from the county fair that we went to a few days ago. It was 99 degrees outside when we got back to the car, so if we look hot, we were! Cooper really enjoyed his first pony ride! He was talking ans singing through it. We have videos, but I cant get this site to upload them. Here are a few pics from playtime around Saratoga Springs.

Coop is one!











My little baby boy is now one year old. Although it's sad to see him leave that infant phase; it's so exciting to watch him grow and mature! On my end, I'm very excited to have nursed him for his first year, and even more excited to be done nursing. Cooper is walking so well now, he runs around the house, getting into anything and everything. He is tearing apart our bookshelf as I type. I'm really enjoying the little boy he is becoming. He is so happy to be alive. I love that I can be with him all of the time and watch him learn new things. On the family front, we are officially new yorkers. It's so beautiful here in the summer. We are renting a huge house in a nice neighborhood, and I'm meeting a lot of great people up here. I've posted a few pics of Coop's birthday, I'll try to keep up with this blog thing (for you, mommy!) More to come.
