Dexter's very first modeling job
The picture finally appeared! It's scrolling across the front page at the website for Personal Creations.

Cooper on the World Wide Web
Another Cooper sighting on the One Step Ahead website (here).
Cooper & Dexter have been working lots lately in preparation for Christmas catalogs. Also, Dexter may be appearing in a Sears catalog or Sears or K-Mart circular in the near future so keep your eyes open (& let me know if you see him!).

Dexter's big day
Yesterday Dexter 3 months old and had his first modeling job! It was actually his first acting job too because he played a girl. The job was for Personal Creations catalog & he had to lay on a pink personalized quilt on a bed & smile & look cute. (The link to the quilt is on the right under "Dexter's modeling jobs".) He did a fabulous job & Cooper came along & was an angel; I couldn't have asked for better behavior from either of them.
You would think that would be a full enough day, but no. Before bath time, Dexter was laying the bed on his back & he leaned... leaned... leaned... and rolled over onto his belly. (Side note: John witnessed it & I missed it. Again. I'm with my babies 24 hours a day 7 days a week & both of them have rolled over for the first time when John was watching & I wasn't. I'm not really complaining - I love that John gets to witness these firsts.) As John & I talked about how surprised we were, Dexter pushed with his feet, stuck his butt in the air, leaned... and rolled over onto his back. Woo hoo Dexter! Of course, now mommy can't leave him alone for a second on the couch & we're discontinuing his swaddle. I can't believe he's such a big boy already!

Cooper's latest work
I just mentioned in my previous post that Cooper's been working a lot lately & while I was updating the sidebar I discovered some new photos of him online!
Until I can figure out how to copy the pictures, you can see them here.

Our little surprise
Cooper & I were shopping in Wal-Mart yesterday & came across Cooper on a toy box! And he was at Target too!
Look at me!
Shopping at Target. Hey, that kid looks familiar!
Cooper would never endorse anything he doesn't really like himself.

New haircut, new adventure, new job
Cooper's hair has been getting longer & wispier by the minute & we've had several people assume he was a girl, so when his agent called us about a casting call I figured I should bite the bullet & get him a real haircut. It's not his first haircut, but I really didn't let the girl cut anything the first time, so this was the first real one. It looks like a boy haircut instead of just trimmed baby hair (insert mommy sobs here).
The casting call was for Carter's and there were at least a hundred billion kids there. Okay, it was probably only about 30 while we were there, but it sure seemed like more. And they had 4 outfits (two for girls, two for boys) that we all had to take turns with to meet the client so it was a bit chaotic. We were there for about an hour and a half before Cooper got his turn; we put on the outfit, went onto the set, the photographer clicked the camera 3 times & we were out of there. There was no smiling or posing; Cooper just stood there like a deer in headlights (not that I blame him - I felt like that too).
We got the call later that night & Cooper got the job so we were back early the next morning. He loves all the attention, but I think sometimes he gets a little freaked out by all the lights & stuff & doesn't really understand why he can't just sit with me the whole time. There were multiple kids in the same outfits so I'm not sure that Cooper will appear, but I was told the pictures should be in a circular in March.

Cooper in print
We got the One Step Ahead catalog (one of my favorites, even before Cooper graced its pages) and Cooper's all over it! There are the two pictures I posted about before (the traveller & the sensory balls), plus the elongate.

Modeling debut for Cooper's face
You saw the cute butt, now here's his face!
Cooper had another modeling job today for V-Tech toys. He got to pose with a Winnie-the-Pooh stacker, a carousel top, and Skippy the puppy and he loved them all. As we were leaving we saw Malia, Cooper's modeling buddy and Malia's dad let us know he saw Cooper on the One Step Ahead website. You can check it out here if you want to see the actual site: Phil & Ted's Traveller and Edushape Sensory Balls. Cooper's in the second picture for each; the first picture of the Traveller is Malia's dad, & the first picture for the Edushape balls is Malia. Cooper looks pretty relaxed and serene in the ball picture, but he was not, as you can see in the original post from late August.

New modeling work
I just added to the "Cooper's modeling work" section. He had a job last week for Bon Ton (I'm told Carson Pirie Scott is the parent company). It didn't go well; Cooper's got molars coming in, and I had to wake him to get there, and the set up was weird, etc. They took one picture of him with a little girl before his melt down & that was it. They took pictures of the little girl alone too, but Cooper was done. The one picture they did get looked good, but I don't know if we'll ever see it.
(By the way, if you do check out the link to Bon Ton, click on the "baby girl" section; the cutey that appears in the picture at the top of that page is another Ford model & she's been Cooper's competition for a while.)

Cooper's famous!
Look here!
It's just his backside, but it's him! I personally thought the ones of him looking back over his shoulder were better, but I guess this one is cute too.

My week - a work in progress
Another busy week. But then again, I guess they all are.
Cooper's had a lot of work lately. Last week he had a job for the Personal Creations catalog. He modeled their red long john pajamas with "Jack's First Christmas" embroidered on the butt. The picture is for the cover of the Christmas catalog, which is due to mail out in late October. It's exciting, but they also used another model, so they may choose one of those pictures, and in most of the pictures you can only see him from behind. This week he had another job for One Step Ahead, this time for a travel seat thing. As you might have noticed, I added a list on the right of jobs Cooper's done so keep your eyes open & let me know if you see him anywhere.
John's working hard at two jobs. I feel terrible that he has to do that, but he insists he wants me home with Cooper (and I agree). Hopefully it won't have to be this way for too long; I know John misses Cooper when he's working.
Last week my brother Justin, along with Dayna, Zak, & Caycee, moved into their new house. It's huge & beautiful & so exciting for them. The very coolest thing about the house - the laundry room is upstairs! I love it (& I know Dayna does too)! Zak & Caycee have their own specially decorated rooms (even a big boy bed for Zak!) & they love running around & having their toys spread out EVERYWHERE. We visited with them this weekend & I brought my camera, but of course I only took pictures of the kids & not the house.
Cooper's experimenting with feeding himself more. It mostly winds up with him getting an oatmeal facial, generally followed by an oatmeal bath.
He's also walking constantly now, and climbing everything, so he's keeping me pretty busy. And when he's napping, I'm generally working on planning his first birthday party. I can't believe he's almost a year already!
Oh yeah, and I've been sick this week. Yuck. I had a fever Sunday & continued to feel crappy Monday & Tuesday. I think I'm finally over it now. Luckily, Cooper shows no signs of catching it.

Busy week - lots of work for everyone
We have been very busy around here!
Last week John started training for a second job as a Kaplan LSAT preparation class instructor. He's going to be teaching 3 nights a week for the next month, meaning he'll have less time with Cooper & me unfortunately. As you can imagine, it makes my nights a little more hectic too, without having John around to help out or play with Cooper.
Cooper's been working, too. He had a job (when our computer was down) for V-Tech toys, a hammer pad truck & a music box, that are due out in Spring of 2009. Then last week he had a job for the One Step Ahead catalog. He took pictures with the Phil & Ted's Traveler, Educare Sensory Balls, & the KidCo Elongate. When the agent called us about the booking, they wanted a picture of me & Cooper together because they needed a mom & baby, but later that day she told me they changed their minds & decided to use a dad instead. That was fine with me; I feel much more comfortable taking pictures than being in them. When we went to the booking, they had a model there to be Cooper's mom! Yikes. She was probably a size 0 & there was no way she could have actually have given birth to anything, but whatever! It was fun, & Cooper did a really good job. The only difficulty we had was for the sensory balls they wanted him to lay down for a massage with the ball (from the model mom), but before we could get him near the floor he was on his knees & crawling away. They did finally get some good pictures though.
So keep your eyes open & maybe you'll be seeing Cooper (with a stange mom!) in print soon.

Computer problems & another job for Cooper
We got the black screen of death on the computer the other day. Just a couple of white words saying something about the CPU temperature being excessive or something. Luckily, the computer's still under warranty (that never happens!) so they're sending us a new fan & hard drive & the Geek Squad is coming out next Wednesday to install them. I'm using our old laptop, but it's pratically an antique (I think it's 7 years old) & it doesn't have any of the programs I'm used to. I don't know if I'll be able to post any pictures while I'm using this computer; we'll see if I can figure it out.
Cooper had another modeling job today (& we never even went to the Shedd Aquarium this time!). This was for V-Tech. I was told the toys he was photographed with will be out in Spring of 2009 so keep your eyes open for Cooper. I don't really know anything about the toys, but he'll probably be too old to be interested in them by the time they're available to buy.

Cooper's first day of work
Cooper's first photo shoot was today! I was nervous because he usually naps for almost an hour (okay, not usually, but that's what I try to do & that's what puts him in a good mood) in the morning but I didn't put him down for a nap at home 'cause we had to go & I figured he'd nap in the car. He fell asleep 10 minutes before we went in (& that's only because I drove around extra!) so he had a very short nap. Luckily, he was in a good mood anyway! There were several other kids there so I don't know if they will choose pictures of Cooper, but he was very cute & loved it! He got to sit in the Radio Flyer Sport Coupe (see pictures here: http://www.radioflyer.com/rideon/rideon_74W.html). It must have been obvious Cooper is advanced - the recommended age is 1-3 years old! Some kids posed with a "mom" holding the handle, but Cooper did not. Everyone commented on how well he did (he smiled & posed!) and said he was probably the fastest shoot of all the kids they'd done so far. Hopefully we'll see the picture somewhere, but either way he gets paid for an hour of work.
We had so much fun! Cooper seems very pleased with his work (this is afterwards); notice his hair was done by the makeup/hair person.
First job complete!
Napping in the car - modeling is hard work!

Shedd Aquarium = Cooper's first modeling job!
Cooper & I went to the Shedd Aquarium with some of our nursing group. Cooper loves watching the fish & everything, but it was so crowded so we only stayed a few hours.
After we got home I got a call from Cooper's agent at Ford Modeling & he has his first modeling job tomorrow! It's for Radio Flyer. We had to go out & buy shoes for him today because he doesn't have any & they want him to have shoes. They asked if he could sit up on his own & I said yes; I didn't mention that he'll probably stand up in their wagon & try to do a swan dive out of it!
So I just realized something weird. Cooper was offered the modeling contract when I took my cousin Alyssa to a casting call at the agency. I picked Alyssa up from the Shedd Aquarium & took her to Ford & Cooper got his contract. Today we go to the Shedd & Cooper gets his first modeling job. (It's not like I go there regularly - I've only been there once before.) Coincidence? I don't know; maybe I'll have to consider getting a membership there!
