November iPhone Rewind


Cooper decided he wanted to go on a pretend camping trip.  So he packed up all his blankets, pillows, and stuffed animals and pretended to sleep on the back patio one morning while we played.

Tummy time outside!

My mom and I took the boys to check out Little Elm Beach.  It was cool outside but Cooper still wanted to play in the water.  It was a great activity for social distancing because in November there aren't many people at the beach.

COOPER IS DONE WITH PACIS (that deserved all caps).  After 3.5 years of being attached (**addicted**) to his pacifiers, he traded them all in for a surprise-- a Paw Patrol Lookout Tower which is getting lots of playtime.

Our friend Mrs Anne led "corn school" for our little preschool co-op and the kids got to paint with corn cobs.

We walked to the park about a mile from us and had the playground all to ourselves! Cooper has only been on a playground once or twice since March, so this was a huge treat.

Cooper got all decked out in his OU jersey (on the right) and I pulled up the picture of the first time he wore it last Christmas--he's grown so much!

Cooper's thankful tree complete with Daddy, Twisty Roads, Tape, Bibleman, Monkeys, and toilet paper.  Miles, grandparents, cousins, aunts and uncles eventually made the list.  I never did, but he did tell me he's thankful for me (when I shamelessly asked him about not being on the tree he acted like it was a give he was thankful for me and said "Well you're the one who does everything for me, mommy!")

Miles is loving trying out some solid foods!


We spent an afternoon at my brother's new Lakehouse.  Miles loved rolling around outside.

My Baylor boy.

We are so excited for Christmas Pajama Season!

2 little Thanksgiving Turkeys

The day after Thanksgiving we finished up our 12 weeks of Superhero School.  Cooper named all of the traits on his badges and recited all of his verses.  Now we'll do a few weeks of "Christmas School" and then see what January brings.

Added Miles to our snowman family.

Sweet boy on a walk.

Months of Miles: 6 Months

 


Weight: 20 lbs 10.5 oz

Diaper Size: 4 (but about to move up to size 5!)

Clothes size: Mostly 6-9/9 months now.

Things you love: your brother, being talked or sung to, peek-a-boo, eating, teething toys, your thumb, being outside, rolling all around the room

Things you don't love: being put down alone, waiting to eat in the mornings (if I try to change your diaper first you lose it!), us telling you to say "Ahh!" while eating (this immediately triggers big tears)

Milestones: You started eating some pureed foods in the past week!  You're rolling all over and can now sit up for a short amount of time without toppling over.  You are chewing on all kinds of toys and foods.  You are still growing like crazy.



My sweet little Miles-a-moo you are just so much fun.  You laugh and smile so big and it melts me.  I love rocking you for naps and bedtime and just watching you smile so big at me to get out of going to sleep (although you usually fall asleep pretty quickly!).  I love watching you and your brother-- he loves to entertain you and you think he is just the funniest.  I can't believe we're halfway through your first year (and what a year this one is!).  I am treasuring all of our time at home together and just soaking up my days with you my sweet baby boy.
