Baby and Axl

I think we can say that Cooper has said her first word. Axl. Axl, Axl, Axl. We'll say it's because she loves him and not because she hears me yelling it all day. ;)

I usually put Ax and Coop to bed at the same time, but a few nights ago Axl was especially cheery and Coop was especially fussy, so I put her down first. A short while later Axl was playing with his vacuum and telling a story about the baby...he stopped abruptly and exclaimed, "UH-OH, where's the baby??". Love seeing that he was concerned and actually knows she exists.

Yesterday in the car I heard Cooper giggling in the backseat. I hardly ever hear from her in the car, so I turned around to investigate. Coop was still giggling heartily as Axl counted her fingers..."One, Two, Tree, Pour..." Love these babies.

I knew it was coming...

...I guess we couldn't get through infancy without Cooper trying to show up her brother...

Luckily there's no real story to tell as Cooper is proving every day that girls are way less gross than boys...case-in-point=they don't eat their poop. :)

Zebra Easter :)

Well, in my typical "Mom of the Year" fashion, I forgot the camera today when attending Axl's Easter party at school. Axl, by far, behaved the best he has in this type of situation (parents at school) so far. Though he didn't participate much in circle time, eat corn, green beans, or say thank you to anyone unprompted, I never had to drag him up off the floor, leave for a temper tantrum, or hang my head in shame as we walked out the door. :) He ate chicken nuggets and snickerdoodles galore, shared a yummy roll with me, drank lots of orange soda without spilling on the floor, dyed an egg blue, dyed his face blue with an Easter treat from a friend, and showed mom a wonderful time. When it was time to bless the food all the children were clasping their hands together waiting to pray and Axl folded his arms, and said about three of his prayers, "heavyfa, debache de oooooooooooooohman". He was SO hungry, it was adorable. Sure do love you, buddy! We enjoyed the one-on-one while Cooper napped at Aunt Cindy's. :)
