9 months

This morning after dropping Cooper off at school, I took Hank to the Dr for his 9 month check up. He weighed 21 pounds and is 28 inches long. He didn't get any shots but had to get his toe stuck to check his iron. After that I came home and cleaned out the refrigerator and hung some pictures. We picked Cooper up at 2 and then went to Sam's to see what kind of t.v cabinets they have. The boys both rode in the buggy side by side. After we came  home, I opened Cooper's school folder and it had frowney faces in it. He had told his teacher no several times when she told him to sit down.

Some of these pictures are random because I uploaded them off of my phone and just threw them all into one blog post.

This was at Chick Filet- Cooper was rocking Hank to keep him happy

 These pictures are from MLK day. Cooper was out of school and I took him to play.

Off to Sparta with 4 Boys

Yesterday I picked Cooper up from school and we headed straight to Manchester to spend the night at moms. We got there and Cooper immediately started chasing the cats and signing cat. We all sat around and ate pizza and mom made cookies. We pigged out. Cooper and Greg played most of the night. Cooper says Papa so clear and loves playing. I kept asking Cooper if he was ready to go to bed and he told me no every time. Hank went to bed and then Cooper, Greg, mom and i played in their bedroom. Cooper loves to play on beds. This morning we got up and drove to Sparta to see papa and granny. Erin and her boys met us there and the rest of the family came when they heard we were there. Hank reached for papa the minute we got there and sat in his lap for a good 30 minutes just so calm and content. Cooper was funny, he gave Sadie, Anna and I his famous "running hug". It was really cute when he hugged Sadie, it's almost like he knew to be more gentle since she was more of his size. After playing for awhile and awing over Sam, we all sat down to eat. I decided the day before to make some chicken pot pies and bring them for lunch. papa and Granny always buy our lunch and I wanted to do something for them. We also took a great grandchild picture. There are now 7 great grand kids and 7 grand kids. So our kids have tied us already. Mama must have take all the pictures because I noticed she is not in any of them, sorry mama.

 Hanks underoos on Cooper's head. I love the look on his face.

 Cooper wanted to take the post off and put it back on a million times. He was so proud of himself.

 He also loved playing in the big bed.

 We watched Zac's testimony from deacon ordination and Cooper was glued to his daddy on the t.v

 This evening mom sent me these photos and we are seeing so much resemblance in Hank and my uncle David. These are David's baby picture's. I was looking through them and Zac walked in and said Hey that looks like Hank.

The other day I was upstairs cleaning or folding laundry or something and Hank was downstairs playing. I noticed how quiet he was so I went downstairs to see......he was in the office and had found an old wheat thin on the floor and was eating it. At first I grabbed it and said gross and then of course I thought nope I'll give it back to him and take his picture. Now to Zac and I, this is amazing that Hank eats stuff, especially something like a wheat thin that is really crunchy. We are just amazed at how he progresses.

He Slept

Well I have not picked up Coop from school yet, but today was his first day going all day long at preschool. I just got an email from his teacher and she sent me a picture. At nap time, he went right to sleep!!! I'm so proud of that little sweetie.

Monday

Last night Zac went to church to watch the movie courageous. The boys and I stayed home since the movie wouldn't be over until about 8:00. Around 8:30 Zac called me and asked me to come pick him up because his truck had broken down. Uggggg, I'm so sick of car troubles. His truck has to last us at least until we can save up for a down payment on a newer vehicle. Anyways, he ended up crediting that disaster to Satan trying to distract him and make him mad and miss the movie. He ended up just saying forget it, I'm going to church to see the movie and then I'll deal with the truck later. He loved the movie which is great. I hate that I missed it. Now that Cooper is in school though, Zac had to skip out on rounds this morning and let us take Cooper to school then Zac could have the car to go to work. Cooper was very excited that Zac came with us to drop him off. After that Zac dropped off Hank and I at home and went to meet the tow truck.
