Yummy!

Our town had a taste of food festival this past Sunday and we ate our way right into gluttony. I know it's a mortal sin but I enjoyed it!

Yes, he's eating grass...at a food festival.

My loves!

I could just eat him up!


Fried brownie...you're only allowed one of these every 10 years or so...

A certain somebody stole the fried brownie...

A shared a brazilian chicken kabob with mommy...

Party time!

One of Cooper's friends had his 2nd birthday party at Gym.boree last weekend and Coop had a blast! Seriously, this kid was in constant motion! He loves this place and I'll probably look into a membership of some sort when winter arrives and we'll be looking for some good indoor things to stay busy...

Here are some pics from the party....

Look at that smile, he's having a blast!

The cupcakes were delicious, as you can tell...I wouldn't know because he didn't give me the time to eat one myself!

He loved the parachute games and songs!

Seriously, this was a great place for us to work on some of our physical therapy!

It's arrived!

I just couldn't resist taking a pic of Cooper in his astronaut costume...and, sharing it with anyone willing to look ;)

Never trust a quiet toddler...

Cooper's room was quiet so I assumed he was asleep until a quick check of the video monitor showed me bare cheeks rolling around his crib...

Who can be burdened with a diaper and pants?

"Hi, Mom! Just be thankful that I didn't pee or poop!" Oh, thank God for small miracles ;)

Cooper's halloween outfit!

I ordered Cooper's halloween and birthday party attire tonight! I just love this outfit for his rocket/space theme party! He'll wear this for his party and I'm going to make astronaut badges for all the party guests :)

Adventures in Cooperworld

OH, Sunday started with such promise as we headed to my neice's birthday party with a side trip to Georgia's largest fleamarket. It ended with an ER visit and an official diagnosis of Asthma.

Cooper had an upper respiratory infection about 2 weeks ago (and Pneumonia 2 months ago!) and Asthma has been suspected for a few months because of Cooper's number of pulmonary infections and Sunday we had our first actual asthma attack. It was scary. Luckily, we live near an awesome children's hospital and our ped is equally awesome. He's on an oral steriod and an albuterol inhaler for this week and will also be on a maintenance medicine until Spring when we'll reevaluate the situation. He doesn't like the nebulizer machine but I was able to get a whole treatment done this morning while he watched Mickey Mouse Clubhouse which is my go to bribe!

Here's some pics of our day before things went crazy...

My neice's birthday party was at an arcade and Cooper loved this thing...I still don't know what it does, lol!

We bought Cooper his first big boy chair last weekend and let me tell you, this kid loves it! The very first night he drank his nightly cup of milk and watched Wheel of Fortune in it. Here's the thing, these are two things that he normally does in my lap every night. We've had this nightly ritual since like the day he came home from the hospital. Hmmm, I wonder if this makes me a bad mom? Hello, he's learning the alphabet! ;)

He's so excited!

Saturday morning cartoons!

Side note: Our living room is just a kid's play room now with some furniture in it. There's toys and book every where...but, it's a happy living room :)
