Cooper has a big family. Most of that comes from my side of the family but he has so many people who love him and want to spend time with him. This past weekend we drove up to Tallahassee for my cousin’s 4th birthday party. It was so important to us to travel up there […]
Visiting the Manatees for the First Time
We are incredibly lucky to live in Florida especially this time of year. We can enjoy the sunshine in January and February without freezing or scorching temps. Even though we are moving back to the Midwest (hopefully within the next year!), we want to take advantage of everything that we can while we are living […]
The Cutest Valentine
Yesterday was Cooper’s 2nd Valentine’s day! He was only 1 month old for his first Valentine’s day so he was much more active yesterday. He was very sweet all day and even got a rose for his Valentine! Unfortunately, he wasn’t able to see his Valentine yesterday but he is hoping to see her soon […]
Coop’s 1st Birthday Celebration!
Time really is a thief. I cannot believe that I have a 1 year old now! Cooper has grown so quickly this year that it blows my mind that a full 365 days have passed. It really is true what they say: the days go slow but the years go fast. I want to freeze […]
Coop’s First Christmas
I cannot believe that we are already finishing up another calendar year. This time of year is so magical and full of love that it is wonderful to be able to see it through a child’s eyes. Because Cooper is a January baby, he was able to really enjoy Christmas. He could open the presents […]
Coop’s First Date <3
As if time isn’t flying by fast enough, Cooper went on his first date last night. Of course, it was chaperoned by parents, but it didn’t stop him from giving his date a kiss. Cooper is going to be a heartbreaker when he grows up, and he is already taking his girl out to great […]
First trip to the Children’s Museum
One of the best things about being a mom is watching your child experience the world. The Children’s Museum is a great place to do that. In Tampa, the Glazer Children’s Museum has free admission on the first Tuesday of every month so Cooper and I went yesterday. I know he is still so little […]
ALERT: Cooper is officially WALKING!
Wow. Time has flown by. I cannot believe that Cooper is almost 11 months old. It really feels like yesterday that we were driving home from the hospital. Throughout all of his milestones, I have had a sense of pride and joy. Even though I didn’t want to rush his process of growing up, I […]
Coop’s First Thanksgiving
It’s that time of year again. The holiday season is upon us and we are kicking it off strong for Cooper. We decided that instead of staying home by ourselves for Thanksgiving we would go visit some of my family in Tallahassee. We made it a day trip since Seth has to work on Black […]
Pool Day!
Cooper LOVES the water! Living in FL, we wanted to make sure that he wasn’t scared of water and wanted to be in it. He has been in the water since he was about 2 months old and it did take some getting used to, but now, he’s like a little fish! At the beginning, […]
