Wow! I can't believe how beautiful it was today. Everyone woke up with the sun shining and in great moods. The boys were all smiles and we just hung out together for much of the morning. Cooper decided he was more grown up than he really is and was awake for most of the morning and on into the afternoon with only one or two power cat naps. Seriously, MAYBE 10-20 minutes each between waking up at 8:00 this morning until close to 2:00 this afternoon. After this point, he's been awake a great deal, but has at least gotten a few longer naps in there as well.
Since it was so beautiful outside, Jess finally got the Christmas lights off the house while Eli rode around on his scooter and then his bike. After Cooper had a full belly, wrangled into his little "bear suit," a bear themed infant coat thing, and strapped into the stroller, he and I headed out to join the big boys. While Jess finished putting lights and decorations away, the boys and I went around the block a few times. Jess was finally able to join us for two laps before heading inside for some lunch.
The rest of the afternoon was pretty low key. There was a little football throwing action by the big boys, lots of eating and snoozing from the littlest boy, a little Cars2 on the XBox, wrestling and tickling, giggling and smiling, and of course seeing as though Cooper is only 7 weeks old, there was some screaming and crying too. What day goes by without at least a little of that? Nothing out of the ordinary...sometimes that Momma is just a little too slow getting the buffet out and ready for his liking. Patience little man. Patience.
I even got to go to the grocery store today. Alone. Just me, my list, and the shopping cart. Ahhhhh. Sometimes it's the little things that can top your day. I was able to zip up and down the aisles without skipping or forgetting anything. I started at one end and made my way aisle by aisle to the other end getting everything I needed along the way. No one asked me for anything. I didn't have to backtrack because I missed something. In and out. It was glorious.
I still need to post about last weekend when Jess's brother and his family came to visit. I will get around to it one of these days. I hope. Just in case, we had a lot of fun seeing them and watching Eli and Brooklyn play and Brook watching Cooper. She's going to make a good big sister in May.
On a side note: it is official. Cooper is mostly out of newborn sized clothes. Well, he still wears newborn sized pants. And some of the onesies. I guess there are some of the sleepers too that he is still wearing. Clearly, I need to recant my statement. He is out of SOME of his newborn sized clothes and fitting into SOME of his 0-3 month clothes. Can you believe that at 7+ weeks, he is still in his newborn clothes? We have such a small little (adorable) peanut! Eli was so much bigger and moved through his clothes at a much quicker rate. This time we get to actually USE his clothes. Have I mentioned lately how much I love my boys? :)
Now....the dryer seems to be beckoning me. I am off!!
