First bath

Enjoying the last of the warm weather

It's definitely not warm now. In fact, yesterday we were blanketed in a bazillion inches of snow so this is just a distant memory. We went to Grandma & Grandpa's in November & Cooper helped with to rake & then redistribute the leaves.






And Dexter napped. Here his is in the Moby wrap:

Dexter did some more napping. Lots of growing going on!

Wrestling with Grandpa

Random thing I love

Just have to say that I love this:
"Up" inspired cardboard playhouse
I especially love it because this is the EXACT conversation John & I would have (including the use of the word "Crazytown"):

Now, husband will tell you, "I just wanted to stick a couple of boxes together, cut a couple of holes in them for windows, and call it her Up house. *YOU* took it to Crazytown."

Brothers

"It's okay baby Deser."

Cooper, 2 going on 14, talking on the cell phone to Daddy

"I nursing the baby!" Makes my heart melt!

Beautiful!

Yes, I should be putting a stop to this, but instead I'm taking the picture. Don't even ask about what they're wearing.. I'll post more on that later.


Both equally entranced by the baby mobile.

First smile

The title is a lie. Of course I didn't catch the first smile on camera, but these are some early ones & they're just so cute! :)

Thanksgiving

We spent Thanksgiving with John's family.

Cooper cuddling with Papa Fred

Most of the gang (trying not to fall into a post-feast coma)

Dexter, in a post-feast coma

Dexter's first trip to the zoo

And our first zoo trip with Grandma & Grandpa! Everyone had a lot of fun, & Dexter had a long snuggly nap in his car seat.
