Wrestlemania

The boys spend at least half of each day wrestling. Carter takes every opportunity to pin Cooper down. Sometimes in self-defense, Cooper pulls Carter's hair. It is kind of hard to know when to step in and referee...usually they seem to be enjoying themselves!

So Big!

Cooper gets a little help from Carter...

Carter and Dad Playing Catch

This video is from December...I just forgot to post it. It is so fun to watch Carter and Tim play together!!

Carter is 2 1/2 Years!!

Here are some more pictures from our dear friend Kendra! I love how she captures the boy's personalities.


And here are some of Carter's "latest":

-He will come up with a list of things to do and then say, "Does that sound like a good plan mom?"
-I was wrestling around with Cooper and nibbled on his ear. Carter looked at me very seriously and said, "No Mom! Don't bite my brother!"
-The night before our winter retreat Tim told Carter that the next day he would see his friends and eat some animal crackers and M&Ms that he bought for the students. The very first words out of Carter's mouth the next morning were, "Where are my friends, animal crackers and M&Ms?"
-Carter got the Sandra Boynton book, 15 Animals, for Christmas and loves it. We downloaded the song that goes with the book and he asks to listen to it most days.

-He is back in love with Dora the Explorer and is starting to really enjoy Veggie Tales.
-I put Carter down for a nap one day and I overheard him saying, "Am I Cooper? No. Am I Mommy? No. Am I Daddy? No. I'm just Carter." We had just read Are You My Mother? before bed. Hillarious!
-And finally, he keeps making these ridiculous, Picasso-like Mr. Potato Head creations. He will bring it to Tim or me and say with a crazy grin (see below), "Do you LIKE it??!!"

Cooper at One Year!

Our friend Kendra took some pictures of the boys while she was in town for Cooper's birthday. Cooper is such a cutie!!



And here is a quick video of our little "walker"...it won't be long!

Cooper's 1st Birthday!

It is hard to believe that our little man is ONE YEAR OLD!!


We kept things simple and just did a little celebration with our friends Kendra and Hadley. Cooper seemed to thoroughly enjoy his cupcake! Carter seems to be over his birthday jealousy and has been singing to Cooper all week:)
