Has it really already been 6 MONTHS?!?!

Cooper's 1/2 Birthday can be summed up in a few words.  "Cooper sucks at shots!!" He got his shots Friday morning, and wasn't really back to "normal" until Sunday.  His appointment went well.   We saw a different doctor who laughed when I told him the other doc thought Coop was "malnourished" so we got off to a good start.  Cooper weighs 14lb 5 oz and is 26" long.  He is a little guy - kinda.  He is skinny, but long.  He eats a ton (we are up to 3 meals of solids a day) but he is 100 mph from the time his eyes open to the time he falls asleep!!  It is a hard job following Ady around all the time!

Here are a few of the pictures I took for his "6 months photoshoot" - there will be lots more on the Picasa web album shorty!!

The post it didn't last long, even though I put it where he couldn't see it. Sheesh!

Ady sure likes to hold Cooper, but he HATES sitting still!

This is his standard "where do I want to go next" pose... it never lasts long and he is off again in another direction.

Ady is FULL of it today!!!

Long story short, we have misplaced Adyson's bike helmet, but I am determined to find it.  In the meantime we went to Wal-Mart and bought a blue one that she can use until hers is found, then the blue on will wait for Coop to grow into it.  While I am searching through the disaster of unorganized helmets Adyson decides that she is going to take a bike for a spin.  When I asked her what she was doing the conversation went like this:

Me: Ady, what are you doing?
Ady: My just hop right on this bike and see what I can do.
Me: It isn't yours and we are not buying it so please park it.
Ady: Mom, put it in the basket.
Me: No, Adyson.  We're not buying a bike today.
Ady: My DADDY will buy me a new big girl bike.  He will buy me one with sparkles when he comes home.
Me: Are you sure about that?
Ady: Yes.  My Daddy  will buy me new big girl bike.  Let's call him

Geez.  She is a nut.  Maybe it is the blue finger/toe nails??

So we get home, cook a pizza for lunch (which Ady refused to eat), put Cooper down for a nap, and then we went outside to mow the yard. 

We come back in and now she suddenly wants her pizza.  I heat some up for her and after about 5 bites:

Ady: Mommy, I don't want to eat pizza.  I want REAL food.
Me: Ok, what do you want?
Ady: M&Ms!!
Me: That is not real food
Ady: But the are REAL good!!!

Sheesh.  I did make her eat more pizza and then gave her M&Ms.  She is so crazy sometimes.  Once she had the M&Ms she decided to start acting a fool again since she had gotten what she wanted.  Here she is "stuck" in her chair which miraculously fell to the floor as soon as I tried to help her out of it.... 

and for Cooper, he is just as wacky as ever :)

Keeping me busy...

I have fallen a little behind in blogging, but here are the highs of the last couple weeks.

Cooper LOVES avocado!!! LOVES it!!  He gobbled it up faster than I could spoon it into his mouth!!  This was the very first bite!

Cooper is rolling around and into everything...

During a diaper change, between "diaper off" and "diaper on" something like this usually happens.  He gets himself "stuck" quite a bit... Mommy to the rescue!

They do eat at the table together now that I bought Coop a hook on highchair.  This is the only time they sit still (well, kinda sit still) without being asleep!

Carrot sticks are great teethers...

Sippy cups are confusing...

Bananas are Cooper's FAVORITE!!!  Especially real ones in a mesh feeder...

Oh, Adyson...

Beauty Queen!!

Footies are a good snack...

Cooper really DOES have hair on top of his head...

and, finally, baby lotion makes great hair gel...

  Cooper is STILL sporting this mohawk today (after two nights of sleep!!)

OK - New Plan.

I took 112 pictures of the kids in the last few days.  There is no way I can share them all easily, except on the web so here is my new plan:

I started using Picasa to help organize all the zillions of picturs that I have and it has a "web albums" feature where I can post the albums to the web share that way.  That is the new plan.  I haven't ironed all the details out just yet, but the address where you can find the web albums is:

  http://picasaweb.google.com/jackie.l.lease/April2010?feat=directlink

Please let meknow if that doesn't work...

I will post a new link every month for the new month's album.

Warning - this is ALL the pictres I take, so there are bound to be some blurry, off center, or "what the heck is that" moments, but that is what you get when you are taking pictures of a 3 year old and a 5 month old!!
