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!
