Outside Baby!

There are 2 things Cooper loves the most.. is water and being outside. Every time we go on walks. He doesn't make a sound. He is so fascinated by the world around him.

Look what he found!

At the zoo. Coop waved to all the animals.

Camping.

We took Cooper camping for the first time not too long ago. My family every year gets together and heads up to emmigration campground. Camp overnight, then head to Bear Lake the next day.  He LOVED it.. He pretty much loves everything! We are that lucky. :)

When we first got there I was a little concerned because all he wanted to do was get down in the dirt and just play and play. I was fine with that. Daddy said NO!  But we were brought the  pack n' play for him to sleep in and to play with while we were visiting with all the family.

I was a little nervous how he would do overnight. Just because he has never been in that envornment before. He fell asleep cuddling my sister. While we were playing games. Which surprised me! I thought for sure that He would be wide awake all night. With everyone around. But later on as we all gathered around the fire. He must have seen it out of the corner of his eye. He woke right up!  Started sqeeling. He loved the fire.

He slept great! Only woke up about two times. (just for his bink)

The next morning he headed up to Bear Lake. Cooper is a little fish, He absoultly loves the water. I love taking Coop and doing new things with him. See how he reacts, and its always in a positive way. Hes happy as can be. Dancing when he hears music, Smiles whenever he sees someone he recognizes.  Gives loves.

Best little boy EVER!

Finger painting!

I like to get ideas of fun things that Cooper can do throughout the day. I was looking on pintrest and found......



A HOMEMADE FINGER PAINTING RECIEPE!

I was super excited about it because it was homemade and it was perfectly safe for coop to eat. (thats about all he does now a days) is put things in his mouth.

We tired it for the first time last night. Right before bath time.

P.S. If any of you have more fun ideas for children let me know!! :)

Count your blessings.

Ever since Cam and I have been back from Texas. We have been having a hard time finding a job for Cam as well as myself. Its so crazy how hard it is to get a job these days. But We have been blessed that Cameron now has 2 jobs. what a RELEIF! He sure stays busy. Working 49 plus hours. I feel super blessed to be staying home with our little boy while Cam works hard to provide for our family.  I have interviewed for a couple of jobs lately and no such luck! Maybe Im meant to be a stay at home mom :) No, I want to provide fincially as well! No such luck yet though. But being able to stay home with Cooper for now is the greatest thing. We do lots of fun things! His fav (just lately) is watching Blues Clues and Arther. I had him watch it for the first time just a couple days ago and he LOVED it! Wouldnt take his eyes off the screen. Every time it plays he just looks at me and smiles. My percious boy. Words cannot express how much we love him. I cant imagine my life without him! He loves to do it go for walks! As soon as he is in that stroller he is looking around, talking and just being so happy to be outdoors. BATH TIME! oh my.. He sure loves to take baths. When that water starts pouring in he knows exactly whats going to happen. Even the times when I am just cleaning the shower, he wants to get in, and when that doesnt happen he sure lets me know that he is angry at me for not letting him get in! My next goal is to try and teach him sign language. just a few signs so he can communicate with us. Wish me luck! If any of you have any suggestions on how let me know.

Cooper is almost 1! I cannot believe how this past year has flown on by. I have been planning to do a little birthday party for him. So I am just about to do CRAFTING for it. :) I have a few ideas on what we are going to do and the things I want to make for his special day.

Loves to play with his alphabet magnets.

So big

Baby Bum!

All of a sudden it was quiet.... I soon figured out why. 

Watching Daddy play Softball.

Summer fun

Here are some cute videos of our little guy!

Coop Loves Bubbles!

Gotta Love his Laugh. 

Silly boy.

These were taken a couple months ago. But I had to share!

Bear Lake Fun.

About a week ago. We went and took Coop to Bear Lake for the first time. It was so much fun. We had a bbq while we were there. Cam grilled some hot dogs and played in the sun all day. We have a floaty for Coop. So when the water gets super deep we just put him in it. He KICKS and KICKS. He is my little fishy. Luckily.. No one was sunburned too badly! Although I must have not gotten close enough to Coopers eye with the sunscreen because he sure had some racoon eyes when we got home!

First Fathers Day for Cam.

This past fathers day was the first for my Hubby. He is such a good dad to Coop. He loves that little boy so much and Cooper sure loves him. Cooper and I gave him a mug with Coopers hand print on it. :) Later that day we went down to Cams Grandparents house for a family get together. It was a good day!
