26 weeks and another tooth!

Cooper cut another tooth this week and this tooth didn't come in as gently as the last. He was very fussy this week and needed his mom and dad... ALOT! Now that Timmy the tooth is in he is a much happier boy.

We took Coop to the park for his inagural ride in the swing. He absolutely loved it and had a huge smile on his face the entire time. Once it cools down and isn't 115 in the shade here we will start going on a regular basis. :)

Coop has learned some new tricks and I am quickly realizing that not a day goes by now where he doesn't discover something new!
He has started to bend in half and stick his toes in his mouth! Yum, yum!
He kicks and splashes with his arms in both the pool and the tub. He loves the pool now and gets so excited when we bring him in.

We hope everyone has a great week!

6 months old and Cooper gets his first tooth!

We are very excited to announce that the little guy has gotten his first tooth! It came in on the morning of August 11th and it is a beautiful pearly white. He did great and aside from A LOT of drooling, he didn't experience a lot of fussiness while teething. 1 down...many more to go!

We can't believe that Coop is already 6 months! The time sure has flown by and we have enjoyed every second of it. He is developing such a personality and we love all of his accomplishments.

He is officially wearing all 12 months clothes and is working on his scoot while on his tummy. I'm sure it won't be long before we are really baby proofing the house and preparing for crawling!

We love you sweet baby Cooper and happy 1/2 birthday!

24 weeks and Grandma and Pops come to visit!

Grandma and Pops Riley came to visit last week and we had a great time! It was a crazy schedule and we gave them the grand tour of Arizona! I had to work all week and attend a sales meeting in Scottsdale so we packed up the family and we all stayed at the hotel where the meeting was. Troy, Grandma, Pops and Cooper all relaxed at the pool and at the hotel while I stared longingly out the conference room window. Cruel and unusual punishment if you ask me!

We then made the trek down to Tucson where I had another meeting and stayed at a gorgeous resort up in the Tucson mountains. We made a mini vacation out of it and enjoyed the hotel pool, lazy river and happy hour overlooking the Tucson valley. On our way home we stopped by the Pima Air and Space Musuem and toured the 80 acre lot! It was very interesting and Pops had a good time checking out all of the planes. Troy had to work that day and we missed him alot.

Coop did great with us carting him all around Arizona and I was so proud of him adjusting so well. He can now sit up virtually unsupported (he still wobbles from time to time) and eats all kinds of baby food. His favorites believe it or not are green beans, sweet peas and mixed veggies! My little vegetarian. ;) He giggles and smiles from ear to ear all of the time now. His favorite expressions are AAAhhhhh, Eeeeeeehhh and Ah Goooooo. His new favorites toys are kitchen tools. Spatulas and tupperware seem to be the toy of the moment.

Cooper also gets excited when mommy and daddy come home from work. He jumps in your arms and puts the biggest smile on his face. I think this is especially nice for Daddy to see since he has to go 4 days at a time without seeing his little boy.

Thanks for coming out to visit Grandma and Pops! We love you very much and wish our visits weren't so few and far between!
