I think he is teething. It feels like his top teeth are coming in. He has been so fun, learning new things all the time. My favorite thing is to watch him focus so hard on bringing his hands together to grab hold of a toy. It takes real concentration. He is getting so big.

So excited for Girl Scout Cookies!!

They don't make my favorite one anymore, it was a powdery Lemon flavored one. But I love Thin Mints, Tag-A-Longs, and just as of last year...Samoas. Al converted me on Samoas. I thought I didn't like them, but I was wrong. Al has converted me on many things including:

1) Samoas, and coconut in general

2) David Gray

3) Matta's (but only the cheese enchiladas, rice, and beans) I still hate their salsa.

But he'll never get me into the Bee Gee's. Guaranteed!

Well Hello There

I had propped him up against the pillow in the sitting position, when I turned around he had struck this sexy pose.

Valentime's

Valentine's Day

Baking cookies

Delivering cookies to family with my little Coopster

Smiling, cooing, laughing, burping

Making Coconut Shrimp, Mushroom Risotto, Asparagus, Heart shaped Chocolate Souffles

Getting beautiful yellow roses from my wonderful Valentine

Loving the Shrimp

Thinking the Risotto wasn't worth the time

Eating Chocolate Souffles that tasted like dirt . . . at least they looked cute.

It was a great day.

We got a BUMBO. His head is probably still a little wobbly for it, but it is good practice. He looks so funny in it.

Peace

At the 20 week ultrasound we got this shot of Cooper flashing a peace sign across his chest. See his little hand? Well he still does this same thing all the time. I've tried to get a picture of it but haven't yet succeeded. Same hand, always the left, and always in the same spot on his chest. I love it, crazy that they form habits that early.

February 4

Yesterday was a special day for two reasons:

1) Cooper's Blessing Day

2) Alan's 27th Birthday

Al gave Cooper a wonderful blessing in our ward (8:00 am) and then all our family met together at Grandma Evans and had a delicious birthday./blessing breakfast. Here are some pictures from the fun day.

Cooper and Grandma

3 Handsome Evans Boys

Dwight Schrute showed up for breakfast in a Christmas Elf Costume.

( look closely)

Cooper and Uncle Ben

9 weeks and 2 days

One of the many features that I hoped Cooper would inherit from his dad is dimples. When he was born, it didn't look like he had. To be frank, I was a little disappointed. But they have come!! He has a dimple.

(I highlighted it for you.)

Bye Bye, BINKY

Hello HAND

He has not figured out the thumb so he just tries to chew on the whole fist.
