Tennessee

This past weekend we met Jeremy's parents at Fall Creek Falls State Park in middle Tennessee.  It was a beautiful park with lots to do.  They had cabins (where we stayed), an inn, restaurant, swimming pools, hiking trails, waterfalls, nature center, and on and on.  We bought a hiking backpack for Cooper so he could join us in our adventures.  I think he loved it as much as we did!  It was a really fun weekend and great to see Cathy and Walt.  Cooper sure does love his me-maw and grandpa!  Here are a few pics from the trip.

My baby is 6 months old!

I can't believe my baby is 6 months old already!  Where has the time gone?  He is growing so fast and doing so many amazing things.  Cooper can sit up all by himself and play.  He can roll from tummy to back and baby to tummy.  He will even spin himself in circles when playing on his tummy...very funny to watch!  My favorite is all of the baby talk and giggling!  Nothing sweeter than my little guy giving me a big smile and then telling me story and laughing.  Cooper has recently started to lift his arms up toward me when he wants me to pick him up - I LOVE IT!  He is just so sweet and such a happy little guy.

We went to the doctor for his 6 month check-up on Monday.  Cooper is now 17 lbs, 4 oz. and 27 inches long.  He's 50th percentile for weight and 75th percentile for height.  He's going to be tall like grandpa and Uncle Chad!    Everything went great at his check-up, well except for the shots.  That's never a happy time.  So sad to watch :( 

Here are his 6 month photos:

Mother's Day

I had a WONDERFUL first Mother's Day!  My day started with daddy getting up with Coop and them presenting me with a diamand pendant followed by breakfast!  My necklace is beautiful (matches my earrings from Christmas a couple years ago).  I spent the morning primping (full shower, shave, make-up, hair...all things that never happen at once anymore :)).  We had brunch and mimosas at Park Tavern and then spent a few hours lounging at Piedmont Park with a few more mimosas.  The weather was beautiful, and we all had a great time.  I was sad when the day came to end.
