Cooper's July Photo
Happy 4th of July! For the 4th this year we had mommy's cousin Angela and her family visit us. Angela has 4 kids of her own so the Addie and Cooper were thrilled to have them all over for the week. We did the usual, sparklers, glow sticks, etc. But then Uncle Dillon set of a fireworks display to remember! We all hung out on our blankets and watched in amazement as one shot off after another. Awesome 4th! :)
All about Addie
Tubes - Addie had tubes put in her ears quite a while ago. We had a follow up appointment this month to make sure the tubes are in tact. According to her ENT, one tube is still in place and the other one is working it's way out. Luckily, they tested her ear and made sure that the loose tube did it's job and now it doesn't look like she needs one in that ear anymore.
Preschool - On the 22nd Addie started her first day of preschool. Since it's summertime, technically the curriculum doesn't start for a few more weeks. The first day wasn't too bad but she seemed very quiet and unsure of her surroundings. The second day was quite similar to the first but this time she seemed sad for us to leave. She didn't cry but I could tell she wanted mommy to stay. The next week she was out all week sick, so we started back the following Monday. This time, we saw tears and she was visibly upset about being left. She didn't throw any tantrums or try to go with to the car, but she cried. After about a week of breaking mommy and daddy's heart, we got the bright idea to let her bring a friend (fredbird). I think it helped quite a bit but she was still very reserved and unsure about being dropped off. It took at least another full week for her to warm up, but finally we stopped seeing tears.
Movie Theme Songs - Addison loves to sing theme songs to her favorite movies now. Her favorite right now is Wall-E's opening song from Hello Dolly "Out There". It's super cute to hear her sing this song when the movie starts up!
All about Cooper
Fireworks - Although Coop doesn't seem to love fireworks, he did sit through them at Uncle Dillon's. I'm thinking we were far enough from the action that he could turn away and not feel like the display was on top of him. Luckily, the 4th of July only comes once a year! :)
Stacking - Cooper loves to stack just about anything. He will get into the two drawers with the sippy cups, bowls and coozie's and stack them as high as he can. He will also find blocks in the toy bins and try to stack them. Once he has them to where he wants them, he will "oohhhh" and "ahhhh" at his creation.
Crawling & Walking - We're still not seeing a huge sign that Cooper will be walking freely anytime soon. In the meantime, he must be the fastest crawler in the world. I can't believe how quickly he can get from one room to the next. Even visitors at the house will comment on how quick he is on all fours. Occasionally he will pull up to furniture and cruise on his feet but mostly he likes crawling around.
