Cooper's 4th Month

4 Month Stats: 16 lbs (75th%) 25 in (60th%)

Cooper has grown so much this past month. He's now sleeping 10-12 hours at night and drinks 6-8 oz and is very observant. He used to spit up a lot then he went through a phase where he didn't so much and now he's starting to do it more often again. I think it might do with the fact that he's starting to drink more formula than usual since my milk supply can't keep up with his appetite. :-) He loves his binki and he loves to smile, kick, squeal/talk, laugh, stick his tongue out, look at bright colors and lights, watch movies, play with his daddy, and play in his bouncer. He used to grunt a lot when he was younger, now he does this cute little chuckle laugh. He doesn't like to be on his tummy so he hasn't learned how to roll over yet but he has found his hands! And he consistently tries to stick his binki, blankets, and bibs in his mouth! :-) He also occasionally blows raspberries and bubbles. We love our little guy!!

He loves to suck on his fingers

I came home from work to find my two boys sleeping away

fell asleep on the love sac through all the noise of rock band
(check out those chunky thighs and wrists-so cute)

all snuggled up

Believe it or not-he is asleep in this picture!
Yes, he sleeps with his eyes open sometimes.

We bundled him up tight on the cold car ride home one night and I just had to take a picture of our cute little nun. :-)
(I couldn't stop laughing)

We LOVE you Cooper!!!

Scholle Family Pictures

Since Steve's brother BJ is heading off on his mission to Brazil this December, we decided it's time to take Scholle family pictures. We actually had two different picture taking sessions because the first ones didn't really turn out the way we had hoped. But we got some really cute ones. The Scholle boys really are a silly bunch. Enjoy...

It was hard to get good pics with Cooper at this point. Just after the big family pic he got really fussy and we had to go sit in the truck. I think he was just too cold and hungry to cooperate with the camera. :-)

He LOVED looking at the leaves on the trees

Our happy family

Thank you so much Jenny for taking the pictures!!! You're amazing!

Memories

It's always fun to get back together with old time friends....

With Danielle & Dasha Cahua at Dasha's baby shower this past Saturday.
(And Danielle's pregnant with #2.)

This was taken almost two years ago at Sadie's baby shower. These are a few of my ELEMENTARY school best friends. Jameson Hansen, Sadie Pimentel, & Dadre Mitchell.

Now I should go searching for a picture of us when we were kids and post it...

I also see one of my junior high friends Samantha Lawrence regularly because her foster kids go to the school where I teach. So I've seen her at pizza night, back to school night, parent teacher conferences, and Westmore family skate night.

Fun times!
