A little early to be dressing him up don't you think??? And Birthday pictures.

That's right. I'm that mom. The mom who went and bought my son a cute little Halloween costume at Old Navy today and actually came home and put him in it and took tons of pictures :). I couldn't help myself he was such a cutie, I grabbed my camera and now I'm posting them. 2 whole months before Halloween! So I guess it won't be any big surprise what Cooper is going to be this year. A Dragon :) It goes very well with his fiery personality lately. He's been awfully feisty lately.

Is that costume not the cutest ever. I mean SERIOUSLY!

Here is a family picture we had my cousin take for Cooper's one year shots. This is just one, I should be getting a CD of the rest soon. :)

I am also posting some of the pictures from Julian's big Julianfest party we had a couple weekends ago. Only a few pics though, It could go on for days if I post them all.





And here's Julian at the end of the night. He was all partied out.



To finish this post off, I am posting some Cooper pics of him just playing around this past week. He has been so funny, he dances and I believe he's trying to sing because he starts making noises in the car and they just go and go and I think he's trying to sing along with us. He bends his knees and does the bounce dance all the time, anytime a toy starts to sing or music comes on anywhere. He is cracking us up with his moves.


Oh and check out this lovely mess

The first picture is a chair that is an antique that my great grandmother passed onto my grandmother who passed it onto my mother who passed it to me.
The second picture is the white area rug in my bedroom.
Cooper was in my room with me while I was getting ready Saturday and I saw him walk towards my makeup area. I went to stop him and caught him just in time to see him pick up my bronzer (which had no lid on it because I'm an idiot and didn't put the lid on). He literally drops tons of the bronzer on the floor steps right in it and walks over to the chair with it in his hand. Meanwhile I'm running toward him to stop him. He dumps more all over the chair. AWESOME! I grab it from him, look over and notice the perfect little footprint of bronzer on my carpet. Luckily I was able to get most of it out. But I was so worried that the chair was ruined. Maybe I should get a cover for it until all my kids are born and raised.????
