What a lovely day for a picnic!

I love being outside and Spring is my favorite season! The pollen count in Georgia is already crazy so I'm hoping to spend as much time outside before our world becomes yellow!

Cooper is still warming up to the eating outside bit :)

Cooper is into feeding himself these days which means one bite in his mouth and the other bite thrown wherever...
Smiling with a mouthful of food!

Cooper LOVES to read and we take books with us everywhere!

I love this kid!

We have Spring fever!

And, the cure is to eat lunch on the patio!

We made a homemade birdfeeder so that the birds can eat with us!

More St. Patty's day fun!

We went to a local St. Patrick's day festival and we had a blast!

I've never had a caricature done of myself and I'm 33 (next Saturday, yikes!) but Cooper has one and he's only 16 months! It was so much fun watching this picture come out and I think it fits Cooper perfectly!

Cooper and the green fountain!

Both of us and the green fountain!

I just thought this one was funny :)

We're just hanging out! The weather was so pretty yesterday!

Both of us in our green!

I hope everyone had a lot of fun yesterday! I bumped into a MOPS friend yesterday at the festival and we joked about how different St. Patrick's day is when you have kids! But, I had just as much fun, well, maybe even more :)

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Cooper is my gold at the end of the rainbow!

Erin go Braugh!

"Look at all my gold coins! I'm rich!"

"Hey mommy, have you seen this sign?"

Cooper is working so hard these days with using his legs for their intended purpose! He's awesome and knows that the stander means that he gets to watch cartoons (his tv time is very limited) and he loves helping me put his braces on! That hard work is starting to pay off...

Here is a short video of Cooper standing ALL BY HIMSELF at the coffee table! He's still not able to pull himself up (hence the coffee table not being child proofed yet) but he will stand for short periods of time. Oh, he's not whining when he falls to his bottom because he's hurt but because he wants the camera....

My sister took all of these pics from our day at Watson's Mill and they were too cute to not share!

Yesterday, we spent the day at Watson Mill State Park with my family. We had a lot of fun! Cooper played on the playground with his cousins, we had a picnic, we spent sometime on the covered bridge, and took a nature walk! The weather was awesome and it was such a blessing to spend the quality time with our extended family.

Also, this park is also where my hubby and I got married!

I only included this corny pic of me so that you could see the covered bridge and the water! Otherwise, I hate this pic of me!

Cooper playing among the rock steps (no worries, I'm always right there!)

I love this pic because it has my two favorite boys and you get a good look at the tattoo that my hubby got in honor of Lily :)
