Is It Really November???

Unbelievable! We all hear it and we all say it...time goes by SO fast. November 5th already. Wow! Our summer is over, however, you wouldn't know it here in Colorado - the weather has been AMAZING! Halloween is past and now we getting ready for Thanksgiving and Christmas. The leaves have fallen from the trees and Starbucks has now added Gingerbread Lattes to their menu (along with Pumpkin Spice - yum!). The sounds of football games on Sunday fill the house while a crock of Chili cooks throughout the day. Candles flicker and we cuddle up under warm blankets on the couch once we settle in for the evening to watch TV. Oh how I love this time of the year!

It's a little breezy in here...

This is what happens when mommy's not quick enough during a diaper change!

Notice the freckle on his bum? I love it!

Father's Day 2010

Father's Day has a new meaning this year. Instead of it being a day I get through with a heavy heart I was able to look at it in a new light. How fun is it that Cooper and I get to celebrate Jason on this day! Super cool! We started out the day at the Chop House downtown for brunch.

Then we made our way over to Coors Field to enjoy a game.

It was so much fun and a great day spent together!

I love you babe!

The Two Teeth...

Can you see them? Two pearly whites peeking through on the bottom!

He's a Morning Boy...

I love walking into Cooper's room in the morning to get him. He is always SO happy!

and as you can see in this next photo, he LOVES his binks and wubanubs! I try to only give them to him when it is nap time or bed time. I have a feeling that I am setting myself up for a hard habit to break!

I hate this day...

I dread this day every single year. This is the day that my dad died. This day is the first of 3 dreaded days that come right after another. His birthday is June 11th and then I am hit with Father's Day. Ugh. I can't believe that it has been 14 years since I lost him. Time does make the hurt better but life's milestones always sting. This year hurts a little more because of our beautiful Cooper. My dad would have loved him!

I love you Dad...and I miss you.

We have TEETH!!!

That's right...teeth - plural. Saturday night when Coop was getting ready to take his bath he had major drool from his mouth to the floor. I thought to myself that I should feel his gums and there was a tooth. One beautiful pearly white sliver on his bottom front gum.

When my mom stopped by yesterday she was looking in his mouth (which is a terribly difficult task!) and said there were two.

Sure enough. Right next to the first there was a second.

Our little man is getting teeth! Who ever thought that a teeth would be so exciting!?!
