19 weeks!

My darling boy and I went to spend the day at Wild Horse Pass resort with our friends The Stuart Family. He had a wonderful time at the pool and laughed and smiled the whole time he was in the water. I took this picture as we were about to leave the house and couldn't resist posting. He has such a great personality and he was in such a good mood. I love this little guy SO much! Cooper makes my heart melt on a very regular basis. :) We are an incredibly lucky family.

Cooper's Baptism and Curtis' 70th Birthday Weekend!

I apologize for the delay in posts...between traveling to Atlanta and work, we have had an incredibly busy couple of weeks!
We had a wonderful visit to Atlanta several weeks ago. Not only did we get to celebrate Curtis' (PawPaw) 70th birthday with family and friends but we also got to celebrate Cooper's baptism. It was such a great weekend filled with so many memories and a lot of love.
We also had the luxury of having our resident family photographer Mandy take professional photos of Cooper while we were in town. She captured his loving spirit beautifully and we are so grateful. Thank you Mandy!!

Cooper at 15 and 16 weeks!

Our little angel has been a busy little boy! We had our friends in town, Austin and Molly, from Baltimore and we were very busy. We went for a drive in Scottsdale, visited Daddy and Austin at the golf course, went to Rawhide western town and spent the day at the pool! We also had Eli Stuart's 1st birthday party. It was a crazy and wild weekend but alot of fun. Thanks for coming to visit Austin and Molly. We can't wait to see you in December!

Rice cereal! Yum yum yum!

Cooper's Firsts!

We have had a very busy week with Cooper experiencing rice cereal, rolling over, grabbing for toys and laughing his first laugh. We have had such a great time seeing him reach these milestones and are constantly amazed at his abilities. Enjoy the video of his first laugh, I had tears running down my face I was laughing so hard. Love this little boy!

He also experienced his first time with both his mommy and daddy away. I had to fly to Pittsburgh for a sales meeting and Troy had to work. We flew Grandma Riley out to help out and we cannot thank her enough. Cooper went through a brief adjustment period but overall did great. He even got to go to the Phoenician ( a resort in Scottsdale) for tea! What a guy!!

Cooper's first experience with rice cereal!!

Because Cooper is such a ravenous child we decided to try the rice cereal this weekend. I swear this child cannot get enough food as evidenced by his chunky legs and cheeks! :) He did REALLY well and took to the rice cereal extremely well. We are going to try a thicker version tomorrow and see how that goes but we are thrilled with his first reaction. Our little boy is growing up fast!

I'm really hungry mom and dad!

Yummy! I like rice cereal!

Cooper chatting with Grandma and Gramps

Grandma and Gramps Townsend came to visit today and Cooper was chatting them up big time! He carries on his "conversations" all of the time now and makes us laugh so hard. We love talking to him and really enjoy this stage of baby talk. Thanks for coming to visit Grandma and Gramps!
