Vacation at Papa & Bebe's

Mama and Daddy went to Washington, D.C. with Mama's work for a few days, so that meant that me and Cooper got to camp out at Papa & Bebe's while they were gone. We had a blast and made sure to keep Bebe on her toes - especially Cooper the Monkey. He is getting into everything all the time and is getting quick on all fours - it won't be long until we are running around and playing ball together!

We shared lots of fun days filled with games, meals, visitors, art and lots of laughs. Thank you for taking such sweet care of us and treating us like little Princes! We love you!

Cooper's like "What up?":

We realized that there were no crayons at Papa & Bebe's house, so we took a trip down to Wal-Mart to remedy that!

Cooper takes a 2.4 second pause for a couple of quick pictures:

Some of Papa & Bebe's friends came over to meet Cooper - here is Miss Vanessa with Cooper. Who knows what that face is for? What a character:

Mr. Scott said he needed a doctor, and luckily there was one in the house. I got out my Doctor Kit and got right to work:

I am getting tall!

And after 4 days with no accidents, I got a Spiderman Pop-Up as a prize! And it was too much fun helping Papa blow it up:

After about 47 rounds of Memory Game, Papa needed a change. So, he came up with a special game just for us and I loved it!

Have I mentioned how much I love my brother and how much I love making him laugh? It might be the best sound in the world.

The Circus!

Today me, Daddy and Mama played hooky and headed downtown for a treat - the Circus! I couldn't wait to see the tigers, elephants and clowns and to finally get to see what the Circus was all about. We even got to go down and meet some of the clowns before the show started - and one of them even gave me a tattoo!

The show was amazing - definitely not like anything my little eyes had ever seen before. We had a great time, but we did leave a little early because near the end of it I was getting punchy/overloaded/goofy and really, once I saw the tigers, I was done (I let them know by not-so-quietly saying "Mama, I am ready to get OUTTA HERE."). But what a great way to spend a Monday - I love you Mama & Daddy!

On the Move

Life just got a little more interesting and fun!

It started like this:




And less that 2 weeks later (and with some encouragement from me)...

Snow in Decatur!

So, one minute I'm at school playing with my friends, the next we are all running to the windows to watch the snow fall! I could hardly believe it - and it snowed so much that they even closed my school so that we could go home and play in it!

And that's just what we did. I talked about it the whole way home, and as soon as we got there we got bundled up and headed out for a walk. Cooper enjoyed it until the snow was falling right in his face, then he just wanted to go home. So we went back to the house and started on our snowman, complete with coal eyes and a carrot nose!

C: Does it have to land right in my eyeball?

Alright, let's put our best side to the camera while we start the snowman:

La-dee-dah, I'll just let Daddy do the actual work of building the snowman while I catch some snowflakes:

Now, let me supervise the finishing touches:

I think "we" did a pretty super job!

Molly & Hudson loved it too!

Bathtime with Mama

Bathtime is something that is near and dear to my little heart - I get undivided attention from my bath-giver, I get to be naked (my favorite!), I get to splash to my heart's content and come out smelling delicious! I know this because Mama is constantly eating my neck/cheeks/toes/belly after I'm out, so I must taste amazing! Plus, dang!, do I look cute fresh out of the water!
