January's End

I can not believe January of 2009 is already gone. Here are a few things we have been up to rounding out the month...... First of all, Carter James is becoming more and more devilishly handsome (yes, slightly partial)- he looks just like his handsome father but has all the dark features that are incredibly charming. Now seeing Carter look more and more like Patrick I am wondering who Cooper looks like (because the two of them show no resemblance of each other)....I think it's my sister (he acts like her too, ha ha, always testing those boundaries).

These are from the night we had laundry basket races

We put him in the high chair to see if he was big enough and Cooper put his rattle on the tray for him to have something to play with. Gosh, he is big enough, and so happy to let us all play with him.

Cooper just has my heart these days- he has some excellent manners, he is an awesome eater, is the best helper, and still has the best laugh in the world. Example: Patrick is in -2 degrees Michigan this week, he called to talk to us and he and Cooper had about a 10 minute phone conversation, it was so awesome. Don't let me fool you though, he is quite the dare devil and can be quite the crazy man at times, but he is still a very good boy.

Other things:

We had a fun Super Bowl party - about 20 people came with a few kids Cooper's age. The crowd was a mix of new friends we have made from Patrick's work, new neighbors, old neighbors, and old friends from my young days in Savannah. It was a good time!

Lastly, there have been a number of things going on with my job. All positive, but a lot of changes to come in the next month or so. I even had to make a quick overnight trip to Atlanta for a meeting...so Patrick had his first night all alone with his boys.
