It's been too long.

Since it's been almost three months since I posted, I figured I'd post again. Sadly, in the move I lost the cord to my camera, so until we get a new camera (Thank you tax returns) my posts will be picture-less. Pictures or no pictures, this blog does need an update!

What's been going on? Well, John has been growing like a weed, STILL. I can't believe how big he's gotten. He took his first steps around Christmas and has been on the move ever since. He absolutely loves playing chase with anyone who he can get to play, and he doesn't just walk, he runs. He loves animals, and calls anything that walks on four legs a "dog". It sounds more like he's saying "OG", but every once in a while you hear the full word in there. He likes the movie 'Despicable Me', dare I say, more than he likes 'Cars'. I can't complain since I was REALLY starting to get sick of watching Cars every morning. About a month ago I walked in John's room to get him after he woke up from his nap and he was half-way over the railing to his crib. Needless to say, we've converted his crib into a toddler bed. (To anyone crib hunting... I DEFINITELY recommend a convertible crib. It was SO easy to convert and John is familiar with it, so he's still sleeping like, well, a baby.) The little guy made out like I've never seen at Christmas, and his birthday is now less than two weeks away. To say that he's spoiled might be an understatement. His Aunt Kelli gave him his birthday present in JANUARY! He got a motorized Lightning McQueen that he's just now gotten the hang of driving. He still runs into EVERYTHING though since he hasn't quite grasped how to make it turn. It's crazy to think that in less than two weeks my little baby will officially be a toddler. It's so cliche, but they really do grow up so fast! Cade is still doing well at his job. They just moved warehouses, so we're living about a mile now from where he works which is awesome because we are saving a TON on gas! I am still doing the normal, Stay-at-home mom thing and still absolutely loving it.

John Firsts

Little John was a skeleton for his very first Halloween.



In other news...
John started giving kisses, pulls himself up on EVERYTHING, cruises along the furniture, fights sleep like no one's business, his favorite movie is Cars (STILL), and today he started saying "Ka" everytime he sees Lightning McQueen, who in our house is better known as Ka-chow Ka-chow.
(This boy is growing up way to fast for my liking!!)

GEORGIA!

I think the title of this post really does speak for itself. In the past two months so much really has changed...

1. I am now 22 years old! I can't believe I am 22. I can't wait to share this next year of life with my favorite two boys.

2. We have relocated ourselves. We made the move with 2 cars, all our belongings, and one 5-month-old baby from Provo, Utah back home to GEORGIA! It was a terribly long move and I was sick nearly the whole trip, but we made it. We are THRILLED to be back around both of our families. There's nothing like southern hospitality.

3. Our previously mentioned 5-month-old baby will be SEVEN months old in less than a week. John Cooper is starting to fall asleep for naps by himself. He has mastered rolling over from back to tummy and then from tummy to back. He can not only sit up all by himself, but he can go from laying down to sitting up all by himself. He is eating solids, drinking juice regularly, and is now drinking whole milk (Thanks to a serious intolerance to EVERY type of formula). As a result of the new diet, our little man is no longer spitting up! John has also started crawling, and just yesterday I caught him trying to pull himself up to stand.

John recently started laughing, but other than that, I don't really have a whole lot else to blog about. Since this is a new thing for John, I asked him how he feels about this new development.

Q: So, how does it feel to be able to laugh now?
A: 08ivhffgv btttggggggggggggggnjpkonjjjjjjjjjjjm o, tghjuik;.
(John did, in fact, type his answer. He also loved every second of pounding on the keyboard.)

A New Friend

Now that John has better hand coordination he's able to "play" with his toys, blankets, pretty much anything he can get his hands on. I have a feeling that these two will someday be an inseparable pair...



I sure do love that boy!
