I’m missing right now. I’m so caught up in wishing Cooper was talking that I am missing the special moments. Time is a funny thing to any parent. On one hand you want it to stop. You want to enjoy this little, perfect baby forever. You want to soak up every second so you never forget it. And then on the other hand there are moments when you need time to go faster. Like when your sweet baby doesn’t sleep more than two hours at a time. Or they are teething…
Read MoreAnother great weekend for Cooper! Well, minus his church skills. Wow. Let’s just say that kid CANNOT sit still. We took Cooper to a McDonald’s Play Palace on Saturday. Big night. We have brutal cabin fever at our house so any outing sounded great. This was our first time at a play place so we didn’t know what Coop would do. Well, I am pretty sure he died and went to heaven. He ran and jumped and loved every sensory overload part of it. I climbed in the tunnels for…
Read More(Warning: Many overshares in this part. I assume we are all parents though so hopefully poop talk won’t shock you.) I know I have mentioned on here before that Cooper has issues going poop. A little back story. Cooper had 1 meconium poop in the hospital after he was born and then didn’t poop again for 10 days. I shit you not! (I crack myself up!) I breastfed Cooper for the first 11 months of his life and I remember I tried everything with my diet to help with the constipation. No go.…

I am a very sentimental person. Always have been always will. (Sorry hubs, not going to change!) I take way too many pictures and keep way to many souvenirs. I am a sucker for mushy lovey dovey stuff. So, I have been feeling like a real slacker lately because I am way behind on Sawyer’s baby book. My boys are growing up so fast. Heck, I am even behind on developing pictures. And this is so not me. I’d like to blame it on the fact that I have two extremely active kids,…
Read MoreI am well aware that this is a creepy ass picture. So please disregard that part and pay attention to the information. I knew nothing of Sensory Issues before I had Cooper. Let me rephrase that, I never knew that it was an actual disorder. I can think of so many kids that can’t stand tags on their clothes or struggle with different types of socks or shoes. Or kids that don’t like to finger-paint or get their hands dirty. Heck, I even know some adults like this! I guess I didn’t…
Read MoreI am pretty sure the world may be ending. I’m actually a little nervous about it. We let Cooper watch a Thomas video downstairs today in our family room. This is a HUGE treat for Cooper. Watching movies is a coveted thing around here. We moved our only DVD player downstairs 6 months ago because Cooper couldn’t handle having it upstairs. Translation…we couldn’t handle Cooper’s whining to watch a video constantly. He would carry the remotes around in hopes that it was movie time. (It was actually kind of cute but don’t…
Read MoreI don’t have any updates to share. Boo. Because of the epic deep freeze in Minnesota right now we had to cancel Cooper’s appointment with the psychologist. Apparently Minnesota shuts down at -25 degrees. Weak. We rescheduled her visit to daycare for next Tuesday, February 4th. Talk about prolonging the stress. One thing this mama does not need. But honestly, it’s for the best. Cooper had a cold yesterday and stayed home from daycare with mom and dad. And I learned two things: 1. Having one child is EASY! Wow! Sawyer…
Read MoreCooper had a great weekend. We worked on potty training again. Gong show I tell you. Jamie had Cooper sit on the potty for 60 minutes and he didn’t pee. We fed him juice and milk in hopes that he would eventually just pee so he would understand what he was supposed to do on there. That little stinker held it the whole time. I dug out his little potty and set it in the living room and put Cooper in underwear. And then I pulled out everything I had…
