snow in October??

Two weeks ago I was walking around in shorts thanking God for stretching out the summer, and now snow? Unfortunately, the snow was more sleety than fluffy and no good to play in, although we tried for a bit. Coop also came down with something yesterday (possibly the flu) and I didn't want to keep him outside for too long. When all was said and done, we only got about 1/2 inch at our house, and it was really heavy and icy. On another note, Coop had his 15 month well check up yesterday (no vaccines because of the fever) and everything looks good. After his first year of hanging out in the teens percentile for his weight, he shot up in to the 69th percentile.. and 81st for his height. My main concern for this appointment was that he does not have any single words yet. He jabbers a lot, but no momma, no dadda.. etc. The pediatrician feels comfortable waiting until his 18 month check up before referring him to a speech therapist because he is so social and he does communicate with a few signs. But, during the visit, Cooper let out his first word.. Dog! He says "dah, uh uh", the uhs are barks. Hopefully he learns fast from here. I'll try to get some photos up later of the snow!

Visit from T-Bop and Memae

Coop in his halloween costume

My parents came into town a couple weeks ago and we had so much fun! My mom brought up a costume for Cooper, and he is too cute in it! Adam and I took advantage of having babysitters while they were here and attended the navy ball and also a football game in New Jersey. Here are some great pictures by the one and only Tom Roskay.
Silly monkey!

It's fall here in upsate New York and Cooper and I are enjoying all that this wonderful season has to offer! The weather has been amazing, ranging from the 30s in the morning all the way up to the 70s in the afternoon. Coop needs to be outside everyday, he is such a boy. Clark doesn't complain because he loves it outside too! We play in the driveway pretty much everyday and usually end our playtime with a walk around the block, Coop rides in his carraige, aka his wagon. Today we went on a trip to Sunnyside Gardens, it's a big pumkin patch with other fun attractions. There are train and hay rides, a jack-o-lantern hall of fame, and familiar looking scarecrows (the widard of oz cast was my favorite!). Coop, although a little overwhelmed, had a great time, and even danced to the tunes of a bluegrass band before we left. Next week, my parents are coming up and I cant wait to have someone to habg out with! Adam has been at work a lot lately, and my good friend is out of town for a few weeks. That's all for now, here are a few pics of Coop and I enjoying God's masterpiece.
