Whitt's first haircut!

He obviously had no care in the world! Just happy to have a sucker!!



And here was Coop during his THIRD haircut! The very next haircut, I took Josh with me! Ummm....we ended up finishing the cut outside while Cooper was in some kind of headlock! The next time we went in, she shaved his head....without asking me!!! We told her we wanted it really short so that we didn't have to put him (and her) through such torture! I guess that was her way of getting rid of us!!! She really was so awesome; Coop just couldn't handle it!! So we found a place that catered to kids! He's now a champ at getting his haircut!




A couple of randoms!


As I was uploading pictures from Thanksgiving, I ran across a few random ones that never got posted!

Whitten loves to play in Cooper's room! He often goes in there by himself, closes the door and just goes to town with all of Coop's toys! Any time this little booger disappears, I usually know where to find him!


Whitt recently got his haircut, and his curls magically reappeared! I missed them!
Coop LOVES going to the deer lease with his daddy!!! He's gone several times this year! I keep Whitt at home and it's so nice to spend some one on one time with him. It reminds me how easy life was with just one kiddo...and how I used to think it was so hard! Ha!



Cooper is trying to give up his nap! It's crazy how for 4-5 months he was taking 3 hour naps every single day. I would have to wake him up or he would have slept through dinner! Then suddenly he decided he didn't need to take them anymore! He usually starts fading by 5:30 and if we are ever in the car at that time....his lights go out! See...

But what's funny is he has started finding "creative" things to do during nap time! One of them being changing his underwear! Who knows...but he's always so proud of himself. However, it's usually on backwards! I certainly don't care what he does during nap time....as long as momma gets some down time!

Thanksgiving

We spent Thanksgiving with Josh's family! As always, we had a great time!! Coop doesn't sit still for pictures very often these days, and as I was going through them, I realized that I don't have many of him...except for when he's really dirty and needs a bath...which is 90% of the time we are in East Texas!!!



Papa Love!




Judd and Jadi just bought some land and are building a house! We took a trip out there one day and roasted hotdogs and marshmallows...or as Coop would say, shmarshmallows!
Grumps Love!



Mr. Independent!!


Our campsite


Dirty face!
Really dirty face!
And I must not forget this precious beauty, Charli! This is Josh's sister's sweet baby girl!

Whitten walks...for real this time!

Of course he walked across the room right before I got the camera out! But, hey, it's still proof! However, I think it will be a while before he gives up his crawling. Sweet boy is speedy!

14 months

That stubborn second top tooth finally decided to make it's debut!
See...
So at 14 months, you have a whopping 3 teeth! There are no signs of any more bottom teeth coming in. But I do have hope! Your first bottom just kind of popped through, so maybe another one will just pop up soon!

-We finally got rid of bottles, well, almost! The only bottle you get is right before bed because that's the only milk you get all day long! You still don't like the taste of milk out of a sippy cup, but you will drink about 2 oz. from a straw with your breakfast. So for the time being, I'm still going to give you those 8 ounces right before bed until you start eating a little bit better!

-You are still not the best eater!! One day you will decide you want nothing to do with baby food, and the next day it is all you will eat!! You eat a piece of toast in the morning with some applesauce mixed with oatmeal. You have eaten chicken nuggets, but have recently decided you don't like them. You hate cheese and noodles. You love yogurt. You love baked beans....I just rinse the sugar off of them and you go to town! You like french fries...not very healthy, I know, but I'm just trying to get you used to eating real food. You won't touch veggies but for the time being you are still getting them through baby food! You still love banana and avocado puree! And....that's about it!!!! You drink plenty of water now, so the constipation issue has resolved itself!

-I've totally jinxed myself every time I bring up sleeping through the night! BUT....you are sleeping from 7:00 pm -7:30 am and have been very consistent for about 3 weeks! As soon as I stopped giving you a bottle in the middle of the night, you stopped waking up!!! Go figure! I knew that would be the case, but I wasn't ready to go full out until I knew you really weren't hungry. Every once in a while you wake up crying and I will rock you for a few minutes. But usually as soon as I pick you up, you are trying to dive back into the bed! You still take a 1 hour nap in the morning and a 1 hour nap in the afternoon!

-Still not walking, but you will walk on your knees all day long! It's so funny!!! You could totally walk if you really wanted to. You will walk beside me holding on to one finger. You're doing it all by yourself, you just don't realize it yet!

-You sign all done, more, and milk

-You can point to your belly and are really close to pointing to your nose. You can find Mommy's nose and Elmo's nose.

-Words: ba=ball, ca=car, mo=more, ba ba=bye bye, da da=all done, pple=apple. And still tons of jibber jabber.

-What does a cow say? Moo. What does a kitty say? Mow

-18-24 month clothes

-Size 4 diaper in huggies, size 5 in pampers

-You LOVE the abc song and always light up when you hear it. You try to sing to it and it's just so darn cute!

-You still suck on your lip/tongue for comfort.

-Your favorite time of day is putting on your pi's! It is so very soothing to you. You can be so fussy, and as soon as you see your pajama's, your whole face lights up. And as soon I as I slip one arm in, your mouth goes directly to it! You place your lips on the fabric and just suck away. You don't actually suck on the fabric....you just let your lips touch it. You have been doing this FOREVER.... it's an immediate comfort!!

-You love trucks, cars, balls and play with them correctly! Your big brother was never a fan of cars, but your a typical boy and LOVE them!!









Cooper at 14 months!
