Variation on a theme

Where's Daddy?

Peek-a-boo!

Engaged!

My baby sister Kelly and the fabulously cute and charming Sylvester!

Swinging

Cheerios

Cooper's working on his pincer grip, on hand-to-mouth coordination, and on eating things with texture. As much as he loves to eat, he's not a big fan of things that require gumming/chewing.

Where's Cooper?

Peek-a-boo!

More new things

Beautiful!

It's been interesting to see Cooper next to Baby Parker. Coop looks so big! And then I dressed him in jeans one day, and he looks like he's almost 12 years old. Good grief!

This is the face he makes when a new tooth is almost here.

And here it is! From this angle, the new tooth is just to the right of the bigger, more visible tooth. Yay!

The Labor Day Edition

Mikey snoozing in the carseat.

This clever gizmo has a mesh pouch on the end, so we put in a piece of watermelon (or banana or whatever) and let Coop suck on it. Nifty!

Maybe you can't tell, but Coop was less than thrilled about the jogging stroller on the country roads. He doesn't seem to enjoy his front-row seat to the traffic. Yet.

At long last, Coop's friend Parker arrived this weekend (fittingly enough, on Labor Day). Here's Kristen holding the two boys. I think they're going to be trouble in the future...
