Pumpkin Patch

We went to a pumpkin patch in Sauvie Island with Aunt Holly.  We had a great time.  Cooper loved throwing dirt clods with mama and running around the pumpkins.  He also saw several trucks and tractors.

Playing with Uncle Susan

Cooper was put in the blue recycling bin at Uncle Susan's house.  He played peek-a-boo with her and then we wheeled him around.

Out and About

Cooper and I walked to the library this morning.  We stopped at a school to walk around before heading to the apple tasting event at Portland Nursery.

Words and first haircut

Cooper is increasing his vocabulary everyday.  He continues to say "go gos" for dogs and Yukon.  He says "rye rye" for Riley (his other dog), he says "goker" for his friend Parker, "caker" for cracker, "bu bye", "ditty" for kitty, "ba" for ball, "bo" for book, "ba ba" or "brr brr" for truck, "bu" for bus. 

Cooper is obsessed with trucks, buses, equipment, trains, planes, basically anything that is loud and moves.  After babysitting we often drive home on Columbia Blvd so he can see all the equipment at rental places and semi trucks cruising around.  He loves it.

Cooper had his first haircut on Saturday.  Our neighbor is a hairdresser and she offered to cut his hair for us.  It was awesome because she and her kids came to our house.  Cooper sat on my lap and was pretty good.  Here is some video of the event: before the cut, middle and end.

Cooper chasing the geese at Westmoreland

Cooper and Parker

I started babysitting for a 15-month old, Parker, last week.  It's two hours a day, 3-4 days a week.  The boys have a blast together, giving hugs, kisses and sharing toys. Parker is quite a talker and loves to tell Cooper "no-no".  They are similar in size, it's so cute to watch them mimic each other.

Cooper and the Fountain

We had a playdate at the Beaverton Library park last week.  The weather was beautiful and there was a fountain there.  Cooper loves water and had a blast in the fountain.  All the kids had fun (although the scary ventriloquist guy scared the babies).

This is what Cooper does at Midnight-1am

When you see the dogs walk to the door, that is their way of asking to go to bed.  I was the only one sleeping at this hour and I was very appreciative!

Recent Pictures

Here are some pictures from last week.  Cooper and I had a playdate with Anna and Elliott, and Jessica and Xander.  Cooper is the oldest at 6 months, Elliott is almost 5 months and Xander is 4 months.  It was a lot of fun and I'm excited to do that more often.


Saturday Sharon, Cooper and I went to the Mothertree Winter Tea Party.  Mothertree is our doula service and it was fun to see all the babies.  Our entire birth class was at the event and all our babies are between 6 months and 8 months old.  It was awesome to see everyone and to see all the different stages and how each baby gets to them on their own time.  There were babies at eight months moving like maniacs and some at 9 months that were still stationary.  Cooper had a blast playing with the babies although he did get a bit overstimulated and that was our cue to leave.

More Maui Pictures

 

Cooper was exhausted yesterday after walking all over Kihei and Wailea.  He took a long afternoon nap.

Today we made it to the beach and sat for several hours playing and napping.  We decided to rest on the grassy area of the park, not on the sand for lack of an umbrella. 

The waves were big and loud.  We watched the surfers and boggie boarders.
