our happily ever after....: A day in the life.

I woke up feeling creative this morning. I decided I would take pictures of our normal day-to-day routines and activities and blog about it. Why not, right? It might be fun to look back and remember too.

In the mornings, after Cooper wakes up we have a bottle. Then we usually watch "The Price is Right" (depending on what time he wakes up) and we roll around on the floor and play with Daisy. We're still trying hard to crawl!

Daisy can still run away from him.... for now.

Time for a diaper change! Lately Cooper haaaates having his clothes taken off or put on. I don't know what it is. He seems pretty happy there though....

I started feeling "artsy" and I realized I haven't taken any pictures of Cooper's nursery with my new camera. A few seconds went buy and I look over to see this....

Ah!!! Ok, Cooper has figured out how to roll off the side of the changing table. *noted* I'm just glad he didn't fall!

Last but not least, the eye drops. He doesn't like the eye drops either, but he does pretty well with them. He doesn't cry or fuss about it like he used to.

Cooper wasn't taking a very good nap in the afternoon, so we decided to grab some lunch with daddy. I forgot my camera :( So, no pictures of that. When we got home from lunch Cooper decided to take a loooooong nap (2 1/2 hours). While Cooper was napping.... daddy came home from work!

Then it was dinner time for Cooper...

I caught that picture JUST as Cooper grabbed the spoon and got carrots all over his hands. haha.

Daddy helped me after that! He doesn't keep Cooper's face as clean as I try to... haha. Cooper doesn't care though. Nom nom nom nom.....

Daisy was patiently waiting for her turn to have some carrots.

We decided to 'hit the town' (<-- lol) as a family tonight so we went to BRU and the mall. Whoot. :-P

Is it time to think about Halloween already?! They had cute little costumes out at BRU. I found an adorable bumble bee for Cooper...

Philip said, "No - he needs to be something manly like a fire fighter!" (They had a fire fighter costume there too) hahaha. Cooper looks so tiny in that giant basket!

Then we headed out to the mall. I saw on TV Macy's was having a sale on their single-serving coffee makers. I've used this certain kind several times and I wanted to go buy one while they were on sale (I also have a gift card for $30!) I thought they might be like $50 or $60.... no. They were $169 ON SALE. Regularly $229 or something. Ridiculous. I was bummed, but oh well.

We were hungry, but knew Cooper wouldn't last in a restaurant... so we went to the food court and got chinese.

Cooper was getting frustrated that we were eating and he wasn't. I broke his puffs in half and put them on his stroller tray for him to pick up and eat. Well, he hasn't really gotten all that down yet. He spent the whole time while we were eating either attempting to get them into his mouth (and failing) or pushing them on the floor. lol

We were walked around the mall and passed the new LEGO store. Philip was has been dying to go inside... so we did :) Philip loved lego's as a kid and wanted to show Cooper around the store. Philip and I talked about how much fun it's going to be when Cooper is a little older and can really enjoy stuff like that. We're excited to take him fun places.
