Happy Man 

So I have been super busy with raising a toddler and a newborn baby, but now have a quick minute to write some things about being a mommy to two wonderful boys.  Wow I thought raising one was hard did not know how hard it would be raising two little ones so close.  It is such a joy but pretty exhausting.  Carter was in the hospital for a week a 6 weeks with RSV,  then got an umbilical hernia which ended up needing surgery.  He had  his surgery a week ago and is back to being all smiles.  Cooper was such a trooper during all these events and got to have numerous sleep overs at the Grandparents.  Cooper started Preschool last week and seems to be warming up to it.  I am returning to work on Wednesday and I am not looking forward to stopping being a full time mommy to these boys.  It is truly the best job in the world.  All I can say is I am one lucky lady.

Planning Cooper's Birthday

Cooper's 1st birthday is on July 29, 2012 which is right around the Olympics.  Most babies 1st birthday's are about books, mickey mouse, or just a random animal.  Cooper is not interested in those things he is a child who is active and loves to swim, walk, climb and run.  What better way to celebrate an active child's birthday right.  So I decided with the help of my friend Jennifer, the perfect birthday party for Cooper would be the Olympics.  So at his party when he is running around falling climbing on things I can say, "oh he is just practicing for the Olympics."  I wanted to put a picture of Cooper on his invitations so I took him out to the park and took some pictures of him with his torch that I made and his baby rattle weight.  I of course had to put him in a head band because the outfit wouldn't be complete with out one.
