First food

 Oh geez the pictures are backward! Oh well...

Cooper had his first taste of food!! He had plain yogart. He was pretty sceptical of if and made a funny faces every time he had a bite but just kept eating it. He has now had spinach, avacado, brown rice and sweet potatoe. He still makes funny faces when he eats and gags because of the texture. He is so fun!!

Update

I am long over due for an update. Our computer is out if room to upload photos, so it feels weird doing updates w/o pictures. There will be a hole bundle of posts if when we get our new computer!

Here is a little update on what we have been up to....

Cody is still working as a financial rep and working so hard. It is not an easy job that comes with a lot of stress but he is so good! He is such a hard worker and really loves what he does. Im glad he is smart and knows what to do with money because if it was up to me I would have a checking account and savings account and thats all:) 

Our ward boundries changed and we got put into a new ward. I am a little sad to leave our ward but Im sure I will make friends in the new ward. And Ive already spotted some younger couples that should be our friends:) Cody got put in as a sunday school teacher for the youth and I got put back in the YW presidency. I wouldnt know what to do if they put me anywhere else:)

Im a still doing hair and I absolutely LOVE working from home.  Im doing about 2 -3 clients a day and staying very busy with it. Its a perfect balance for me to stay busy and not get to stir crazy staying home all day. 

(Here is my venting session) My body is falling apart! This week I found out I need glasses I cant see. Found out my back is very messed up and will need a lot of work done to fix it. Found out my jaw is crucked and I need braced (again) for two years to fix it:) FUN... Oh well hopefully I get it all fixed when im young and wont need anything else done when Im older.

Cooper is doing great!! We love being parents! I cant believe how smart he is getting. It seems like he learns a new trick every day. 

I hope to get caught up with post soon!!! 

911

Cody and I had our first experience calling 911 last week.

We were both fast asleep at 3am and got woken up to what I thought was a fire alarm. We both hopped out of bed and it stopped. It was definitely was going off but there was no fire. Then I realized it wasn't the fire alarm but the carbon monoxide detector. We figured it was no big deal sense it only went off for a minute and decided to go back to bed. But as I was laying there I had a bad feeling. I made Cody call the fire department and ask them what we should do. They asked a few questions and when they found out we had a little baby, they really thought it was best to come check the house out to make sure we didn't have a gas leak. So they asked us to hang up and call 911. We had to evacuate the house until the fire department came. Cooper was so good:) he just sat on my lap. He loved all the firemen, he even got a cute little stuffed animal. Anyways everything checked out fine, no gas leak. They left and we went back to bed. It was easier to sleep knowing we were safe. Coop was an angel, I put him back in bed and he went right to sleep. Such a good baby!

Then the next night the fire alarm went off at 1 am. We did not call the fire department. I went straight back to bed:) I hope this doesn't become a regular thing...

5 month update

I was going to skip the 5 month update because I thought who ever is reading my blog is probably getting tired of hearing all about Cooper. But then I remembered why I am doing a blog is for Cody and I to look back on what we were doing. So im sorry if my post are getting a little boring, I will try and spice it up, we have a few trip planned so there will be something new to post about in a few weeks!

Here are some pictures Cody took of Coop...

Cooper LOVES his feet!! He will play with them all day. He even sucks on his little toes:)

We went to the mall last week and forgot the stroller and Coop is one heavy kid. Cody ended up carrying him like a sack of potatoes over his shoulder. Coop loved it!

Mmmm, hands.....

1st of many four wheeler ride with grandpa Ed on the farm!!

Our little man is 5 months old!! I cant believe how big and smart he is getting. I am loving this age right now. Cooper is so much fun to be around. Some things I want to remember about this month are...

-He is getting so good at using his hands. It was like one day he woke up and realized "hey I can use these things and grad those toys." Each day he gets more and more coordinated.

-Rolling over! He finally did it. He can roll over both ways now. I was really working with him on rolling over from back to tummy and one day he just did it all by himself. He does it all the time now, one minute he will be on his back the next I will look over and he will be on his tummy.

-He is SO SMILEY!! He will smile at anyone and everyone. This is one of my favorite things about Cooper. I just love his smile!!

-His hair is CRAZY!! I get comments everywhere I go. It sticks straight up no matter what you do just like Codys.

-This month has been really busy with hair for me. I am taking clients Mon-Sat instead of just Thursday and Saturday and Coop has been so good with watching me do hair all day. And my client love to play with him. I enjoy being busier.

-He is nursing every 3-4 hours during the day and taking three 2 hour naps. He is going to bed and 7:30pm and waking up at 8am. And sleeps through "most nights"

-He is getting way distracted while eating. Most of the time he will nurse for a minute get bored and smile and talk then go back to nursing. I hope this is just a phase.

-He had his first "food". Rice Cereal YUM! He hatted it and it made him so gassy and uncomfortable. So we stopped and I decided to wait tell he was 6 months and go straight to veggies and skip cereal all together, I think....:)

-Cooper LOVES Cody!! Cody is such a great dad. He really is a natural. He has been watching Cooper a lot lately when I doing hair or doing YW stuff.

5 weeks old

These pictures are from when Cooper was 5 weeks old, he was so TINY!! My sister took them for me but my computer wouldnt read the disc she sent. So I finally got to put them up...
