2 new things!

Yesterday before naptime, I was cleaning up the kitchen from lunch and decided to turn on a movie for the girls to watch. Now, most of the time, this is only for Kendall - Cooper has never really had any interest in sitting and watching anything on t.v. This is new for us because Kendall loved anything on t.v. from about 9 months on! Cooper is just too busy though and doesn't want to take the time to sit still for long enough to watch it.

Yesterday Kendall chose one of the Baby Einstein movies we have for them to watch. It's about seasons and we've watched it before, but she was never interested. Today was different though - she loved it! She kept talking to the t.v. and her favorite part were the little zebra puppets that pop up every once in awhile.

I thought maybe if she had somewhere to sit that she might stay still for awhile, so I asked Kendall to go get her pink Pottery Barn chair for Coop to sit in. Kendall decided she wanted it, though, so I got the little rocking chair and put it next to Kendall's chair and Cooper loved it! I love these pictures of her playing with her sister, watching t.v., and sitting in the chairs. I know - I'm easily entertained. :)

Here's some video of Cooper talking to the t.v.

And this next one cracks me up - I ask Cooper to wave, blow a kiss, and Kendall does it all. My favorite is how she blows a kiss. She always adds this little thing on the end where she puts her hands on her heart and then throws them out. She's pretty cute.

Books!

One of Cooper's favorite activities lately is reading books! She gathers them up from all over the house and brings them to us to read to her. If I am sitting down, she walks over to me, turns around and plops down into my lap. I love it so much!

 I tried to take some pictures of her this morning bringing me her books. It's hard to take pictures of her - she moves so fast!

 Most of the time, we open the book, start reading a page or two, and then she is off to do something else. She doesn't sit still for long.

I love how much she loves books! And I love those big blue eyes!

Swinging Girl!

Last week when the weather was so pretty, we went outside several afternoons to swing! This was the first time Cooper had really been in the swing since she's been bigger, and she loved it! Kendall had fun pushing her.

 After the first afternoon that I took her out there, she woke up from her afternoon nap for several days after that and would walk to the back door and point up at the door knob. I would pick her up and walk outside and she pointed to the swing and said, "Uh! Uh!" She started associating waking up from nap with getting to go outside and swing! So cute!

It's hot again now, so we haven't been able to swing for a few days, but hopefully it will cool down a little soon and we'll be able to spend more time outside....and hopefully without mosquitoes! I think this swinging girl would enjoy that!

Laughing at Daddy

She loves that guy. :)

Ring Pops!

Cooper has a new-found love: ring pops! Anytime she sees anyone eating or drinking something, she fusses until we give her something to eat or drink. You may not be able to tell by looking at her, but she is serious about her food! :)

One day Kendall had a ring pop from something, and Cooper was riding next to her in the backseat, watching her eat it. She was fussing off and on, so we told Kendall to let her have a lick. Well, she put it in her mouth like a pacifier and didn't want to let go! She didn't take it in and out - she just left it in her mouth. We were sure she probably was thinking "This is the best sass ever!!"

For her birthday, Holly gave her Cooper a ring pop in her present, and she sat and played with it in the wrapper the whole time I was opening the rest of her presents. We finally opened it and gave it to her the other day and I took some pictures. :)

She was a mess after this! She had to go straight in the tub! But she had a lot of fun!!

Class of 2032

 Randy was asked to speak at the Aggie Moms Club meeting tonight about some Aggie traditions! Our friends Kathy and Debbie are officers, and Kathy is in charge of programming, so she introduced him. They invited the girls and me to come, too, so we all wore our A&M clothes and came to watch Dad! 

The girls were so funny during the meeting. We only stayed for the first part, because I think they were a bit of a distraction. Cooper was so funny....she kept walking around the tables saying her favorite thing to say: "Ahh.....do!" and raising her dress up just smiling at all the ladies! She's such a ham. Much like her older sister. Here we were trying to get some pictures at the fountains outside after we left:

It's so difficult to get a good picture with both girls in it! Oh well....love my little class of 2030 and 2032!!!

Welcome!

Welcome to our new blog! Eventually this will be our ONLY blog...for our whole family. Until February though, when Kendall has her fourth birthday, we will keep her blog and write on this one about Cooper. It's all about making the blog books work. It's complicated. :)
Check back soon for more updates!
