Cooper's first Valentines!

sleepy little baby... so sweet!
I love my two brown eyed boys!
Happy Valentines day from little Cooper boy! Here he is all decked out in his Valentine outfit. He loves this little puppy stuffed animal, he especially likes to eat it. We had a good day just hanging out at home together and then Dev took me to dinner. K so we were having a good dinner of yummy salad, scones and steak. Talking about childhood valentines and having a great time. When I took a really big bite of steak and tried to swallow... AH panic. It won't go down! I take a drink of water and it goes down just far enough so that I can't breathe. but just wait it gets worse..It works its way down just far enough that I am still having a hard time breathing but can get a little bit of air through. But it still wont go up or down. at that point I leave the table to go to the bathroom. In the bathroom I am kneeling down with my finger down my throat trying to get myself to throw up so that I can breathe. That is when someone comes in the bathroom that only has one stall and apparantly I forgot to lock the door and she walks right in on me trying to make myself throw up! AAHHHHH talk about embarassing this girl prob thinks I am bulemic! I have never made myself throw up in my life except in this special circumstance where it is either throw up or have a hard time breathing! Anyway I get a little bit of the steak up and go back to the table. My appetite is ruined now and we get up to leave. Just as we are walking to the front I see the girl that walked in on me.. I try not to look at her but lo and behold her husband happens to be a good friend of Devin's from his college days and they come over to talk to us! So here I am talking to the girl that walked in on me! And in my mind I'm thinking do I tell her that steak was blocking my airway.... nope I don't say anything about it and we leave. Now the whole way home I am wondering if she is telling her husband its too bad that his friend married a girl that is bulemic! haha what a hoot! Never a dull moment.

BIG BOY!

He wasn't too happy about wearing that hat! but it looked so dang cute on him!
made me laugh- he looked so shocked when I put him in his bouncer!
Loves his daddy!

Going on a walk- we made it 2 blocks before he was ready to come home!

eating cereal.... not sure what to think yet.

I love that he got Daddy's beautiful brown eyes!

I know this is a lot of pictures but my momma wanted to see new pics of Cooper so here ya go Mom! Today Cooper is 5 months old! I can't believe my baby is already 5 months old. It seems like it has gone by so fast. We have so much fun. I spend my days playing with Cooper. He loves when I read books to him, dancing around the living room, and when I sing. It makes him laugh. Maybe that's not a good thing =) He is the best baby. He is always happy and has brought so much joy into my life. I love waking up to him talking and gooing in the monitor and when I go to pick him up in his crib he always smiles at me so big. I especially love that he is sleeping 9 hours at night, and I didn't even have to implement a crying it out method or any other method that i was uncomfortable with. Not that I'll be able to repeat it with the next baby, cause I have no clue what I did, he just did it on his own. What a sweet little boy. He truly has been our miracle in so many ways. He is rolling over now, but only front to back. He talks and smiles and laughs and is just getting so big! Devin has started clinicals at different hospitals and is loving it! that is a relief, he picked the right career! he comes home just so happy and loves what he does. I love that he is only gone 3 days a week and no studying! it is pure heaven compared to all the studying and tests and late nights last semester! I am sure going to love this nursing thing when 3 days a week is considered full time. We have been having a great time hanging out and playing with our sweet little boy. As for me, I am loving life! I love living in Gunnison and my house, our ward and neighborhood and the friends I have already made here and living close to Dev's family is the best. I am so completely grateful for my blessings. The other day his two brothers came over and hung out and I couldn't stop thinking how nice it is to finally be close to family and get to see them on a regular basis! I have also started a new hobby! Dev got me a guitar for my birthday 2 years ago and I am finally learning how to play, it has been so fun! Thanks Katy for giving me lessons!
