Our Little Pumpkin

Or should I say BIG pumpkin!? ;)

A few weeks ago my mom & I took Cooper to the pumpkin patch. Cooper picked out the perfect pumpkin! Mom & I tried hard to get Cooper to smile in these photos, but he wasn't having it. I have to laugh though because he is ALL boy! He was more interested in picking up dirt/straw from the ground and trying to eat the stem of the pumpkin than anything else. Therefore, he was a bit distracted and didn't want to show off that cute smile. I sure hope he does better in his upcoming 6-month baby pictures!

5-Months Old!

On October 5th, Cooper was 5 months old! I look at him now & wonder where my baby is!? Cooper now has 2 teeth and is sitting up by himself. I feel like before we know it...he will be crawling...and then walking! Yikes!!

We thought we'd do this month's picture in his Halloween costume. Cooper makes for one chunky monkey! And the costume appears to add an extra 10 lbs. with it's round belly!

Cooper is still trying to get the food thing down. He's tried all the veggies & now we've moved on to fruits. I think his fav food so far has been sweet potatoes!


Daddy has already turned Cooper into a Bengals fan. This doesn't go over well in Browns country!


Cooper loves the Baby Bjorn so we use it a lot to tote him around. I love this expression on his face! Could his eyes be any bigger!?

Best Friends!

While it took Milo some time getting used to having Cooper around & not being the center of attention, I think he has finally adjusted. It's good timing too since Cooper has really just discovered Milo in the past few weeks & loves to interact with him. They are now best of buddies & seem to have so much fun together! Cooper loves to laugh & smile when he sees Milo. He constantly tries to reach out to pet Milo too. It's so cute!

I know Milo loves Cooper too because when he isn't around...I find Milo doing things like sitting on Cooper's pillow or lounging on his blanket waiting for Cooper to return! ;)
