Pool Time

Miles and Cooper have been doing so many fun things. Miles is growing bigger and bigger, 'talking' more everyday and becoming more expressive. Throughout the day and at Cooper's bedtime, we've been reading together as a family and Miles gets so excited looking at the pictures and listening to the story. The video is of Miles cooing and making some other fun noises.



While Miles seems to be growing so fast and changing everyday, Cooper's vocabulary is exploding. It seems that everyday he is coming up with new phrases and using his imagination to tell funny stories. Here are a few of the things he has said in the last few days:
1. He was playing with his Thomas trains on the floor and had a lot of them connected (via their magnets). He lifted one end up and the other was hanging below and he exclaimed - 'I caught a fish!'
2. Carey and Cooper were playing outside and Cooper found a pinto bean in his tractor. (It was left over from playing with his tractor in his pool of beans.) He had his milk cup with him outside, and he set the bean right by his cup and said, "Here, Bean. Here's your milk."
3. Keeping with the milk theme, if he has his milk cup in or out of the house, he has to have a coaster under his cup. We were out in the grass and we looked over and he had found a flat rock to put his cup on - way to save the dirt from sweat rings!
4. For those of you who know about his love of Cookie Monster, he calls him 'Cookie TaTa' for some reason. In the past, he has always been able to say Cookie and Monster, but when he puts them together they have been Cookie TaTa. Well, as of tonight, Cookie TaTa is no more. We were eating dinner and he looked at his food mat and said - 'What's Elmo doing with Cookie Monster?' - our little man is growing up!

The boys enjoyed the cooler weather today by spending a little time outside.
