On November 5, Cooper hit his half birthday! Can't believe he is already 6 months old! We're having so much fun with him. He has such a cute little personality now. It still continues to amaze us how quickly he changes & evolves. It just keeps getting better!
These pictures are pretty fitting for Cooper seeing he can't stand to have socks on anymore. As soon as we put them on, he pulls them off. He thinks it's game!
Cooper and his buddy Milo...
We took Cooper for his 6-month pictures yesterday. I was trying things on him & deciding on what he'd wear. He was all smiles the night I did this so I have to share....
Two weeks ago we made our 2nd trip to Liberty with Cooper to visit Dutch's family. It was a past due visit, but Dutch & I were both dreading putting Cooper in the car again for 4 hours each way. On our 1st trip down, he had a bit of a melt down on the way home & it added a good 1+ hour to the drive because we kept having to stop. However, we planned this trip much better & tried to coordinate it with Cooper's bedtime/nap schedule. We definitely succeeded seeing he slept 7 of the total 8 hours round trip. Cooper never woke up once on the way down and woke up the last hour on the way home. Dutch & I put in some kiddy music for that last hour and sang to Cooper. He was definitely entertained with his silly parents singing songs like "B-I-N-G-O" and "No More Monkeys (Jumping on the Bed)" to him! What we do for our kids!! ;)
We had a wonderful weekend and spent lots of time visiting with the family and catching up. Saturday was the perfect fall day too! It actually warmed up into the 70's and the leaves in Dutch's parent's yard were beautiful....

The Hughes family is growing by 1 more grand baby seeing my SIL Kelli (Travis' wife) is prego & due in February. And it's a girl!
Dutch with the newest addition to the Hughes family....our nephew Hagen! So cute!!
Cooper & Hagen are a little over 2 months apart...
We tried hard to get our 1st picture of all 3 grand babies together, but weren't so successful. This is the best one I took. Of course, Cooper is the only one not looking at the camera & smiling! ;)
Rhett telling Hallie another one of his infamous stories. Hallie loves to hear them & is always eager to ask "...and what's next!?". Love it!
Matthew (Dutch's cousin) & Cooper
We had a play date with Colten (Dutch's cousin Jess' baby). He is 6 weeks older than Cooper! So fun now that they are both sitting up!
I've been trying to upload this video to the blog over the past few weeks, but haven't had much luck. I finally got it to work by uploading it to YouTube. Thought it was too cute not to share! So many new things that Coooper is learning to do....
We sure had a busy Sunday! Cooper was baptized in the morning. We celebrated over lunch at my parent's house and then headed back home so Cooper could experience his first Trick-or-Treat in our neighborhood!
Rev. Roger, the same pastor who married me & Dutch 5 years ago, is who baptized Cooper.
Uncle Craig served as The Godfather!
As for our Halloween festivities, Dwight Schrute from The Office stopped by for a visit. Cooper was quite enamored with him!
Then it was time for Cooper to dress up... he sure was a cute, chunky monkey!
My fav part of the costume...the curly tail! :)
We put Cooper in the stroller & visited a few of the neighbors...
Gpa & Gma stopped by to see Cooper all dressed up for his 1st Halloween!
