The Perfect Morning...
Yesterday morning was one of the most treasured times I have spent with Cooper so far. We woke up at 7ish and I got a cup of coffee and a bottle for him and we headed outdoors to the front yard. It was early but warm as the mornings have been the past couple of days. We put the futon out on the patio to enjoy so Cooper and I sat there. He snuggled into my neck and I just held him for a long time, he was so still I thought he had fallen asleep. Suddenly the yard came to life, so many birds and all their calls were heard.A hummingbird or two would buzz by us on the way to the feeder..to take a drink. We saw two baby gray squirrels chase each other up and down the trees and over to our seed feeder which startled a group of dove to fly flapping and cooing off, chickadees and robins joined the group and were eating the seed.. the chickens started clucking in the back. Cooper was fixated on one thing.... I may have not even have noticed. There were all these little bees,maybe 10, sucking nectar out of our soapwart bush.He was watching them so intently, listening to their soft buzzing sounds.We sat there cuddled up for at least an hour. He was acting tired rubbing his eyes so I scooped him up and went and laid in the hammock where I nursed him in the soft sunlight to a peaceful slumber. I laid there and watched more birds and squirrels and all the activity, very at peace. When I would look at my baby son with the sunlight beams peeking through the tops of the trees onto his white hair and beautiful face... my heart felt full,complete, this is where I wanted to be.

Coopers First River Trip & Other Happenings!
.. Today we went to the Deschutes River( all within about 30 min from us)where the Wickiup Reservoir spills in and went fishing. Tanner and Bucky were fishing.Buck caught a trout on like his first cast :) Lucky!Cooper and I hung out on the bank where it was real shallow. He played with rocks he found and splashed his feet and hands in the water. He didnt like it when I set him down in it- it is still pretty dang cold! We ate lunch out there and Cooper ate little bites of my turkey.
Last night as well as tonight ( leftovers!) he ate little bites of pork loin and potatoes and carrots that I cooked really soft in the crock pot( you know I am a choking freak!)LOL! It was a fun day and beautiful out.
Tonight when I bathed him in his baby bath ( in the shower)I added extra bubbles and he decided it would be really fun to keep putting his face in them and come up with bubble face! He did this over and over again happy that we were playing a game as each time I was shocked and laughed and wiped his bubbles off- he's so cute.

** Fourth of July **
Father's Day!
Buckys first Fathers Day with Cooper and Tanner turned out great! Despite Coop and I having a sniffle. We went to Red Robin for dinner then we went to the Merle Haggard concert at the Les Schwab Amphitheatre... It was really fun- we layed out the blankets and we sat on a grassy hill and Tanner and Cooper kept rolling down it.It was great to watch the two of them! Thank you Bucky for giving me such wonderful boys! I love all three of them!

Bucks 39th Birthday.....
Cooper Meets Cousin River :)
YAY!!! Cousins Elizabeth, Anthony and River ( and Aunt Linda) came over before we left Fri!
They drove up from Santa Barbara! I was so excited to meet River as Elizabeth and I were pregnant together and River and Coop are only 1 month apart( he's 1 month younger).
They are also really special to Tanner so it was great to see everyone!
They played great together and it was awesome! I cant wait to get together again soon, Liz and I have very similar philosophies on babies so its cool to chit chat. I miss them! Love you guys!!!!
Rivers so sweet and adorable!!:)
The Beach and Farmers Market Thurs!
We all went to Avila Beach- Mom, Me, Coop and Tan- it was fun! We went to the Port Pier and had Petes Pierside mmmm Fresh Fish Tacos! It was fun sitting on the patio enjoying it! Then we took Cooper briefly to the beach and Daddy helped him feel the water on his tootsies! Tanner went a little deeper as he and I started digging our fingers in the sand feeling for sand crabs- only he found one this time-drats! Its a competition of ours :)......
In the evening we went to Farmers Mkt- Tanner met up with a friend of his Nikki from Bishops Peak- we strolled around had hot chocolate, bought some beautiful purple sweet peas for Grandma and some fresh fruits/veggies- we watched a wonderful performance from an electric celloist- it was a nice time! Great Day!
9 1/2 Month Exam and Happenings!
Oh My! I cannot catch up!!!!!!!! Cooper is BUSY , Summer is BUSY! I am still trying to catch up Cali trip and June events... oh well!! I guess it will happen in due time! :) LOL
Wed. July 12th Cooper got his right front tooth, followed by Fri July 14th the second left front tooth popped out..
now he has 4 2 top, 2 bottom and hes working on the top 2 eye teeth..oh wow its been fuss city here lately!
As you can see in the photo he has been standing for moments without holding on to anything!
Here he got to use his special box from the bookshelf to try standing from!
Took this photo today!
Cooper and Tanner had a joint doc appt today. Cooper was 19.7 lbs (25th percentile) and 28.25"(40th percentile) and head was 90th percentile. They said its prob nothing but if it continues to rise and not level out by 12 months they want to ultrasound it- but the fact that hes great on everything meeting all milestones except playing peek a boo and waving bye bye- its prob no worry, he'll grow into it- we say big brain, smart baby!
Tanner was on 85th percentile for both height and weight. 5'7" and 140 lbs! He needs to drink more water though!!! Tanner had 3 shots but didnt flinch that big shot!!:)
Coops been rocking out on the floor with or without music lately but definately likes reggae!!! We dance to that! I gave him little bit of angel hair pasta w/parmesan and butter tonight he did good with it- Iam still scared to death of choking!
Cooper loves to throw his rings and toys and plays a game with himself throwing and going and getting them. He loves a little finger puppet "chick" that was Tanners and loves on it. He likes his animal feel book especially the chick and dog! He is getting a real personality!
He's still nursing good, poor moms getting chomped on now and then! And he stills sleeps with me and is up at least 4 x a night!~He loves Woody and Lulu. Tanner and Buck have given him lots of naps in the hammock lately. We got a baby pool and he likes splashing around!
Tans been going to the pool here and there and going to teen dances- and lifting weights for football- since the house is so small they've been clearing him a hangout area on the side of the barn- he put up a speed bag- and has a radio..a real teen! LOL! Love the Boys so much!

Grandma Lilas Funeral..
Hello blog old friend. Well Grandma Lilas funeral was a hard day. I still miss her so much. It was the same place Grandpa Elmers was held. I went early to be there when they sealed her casket and we had a family prayer. It was hard to see the old friends, Art and Marge really choked me up. It was a beautiful funeral. I will post pictures of some things when I get some later.
Jennifer arranged a beautiful heart Grandmother floral arrangement to be delivred from us grandkids and her great grandchildren.I was sad she couldnt come due to pregnancy complications and other stressful things, but I am now glad as more problems have arisen and it is good she did not travel. Grandma would not have wanted her to. At the burial we stayed behind and watched her be lowered, I was gladto do it.After the funeral we went out to the hitching post. It was good to see family and old friends and let them meet Cooper.Wewent back to Grams house and it was surreal. Way too much to mention here. I miss her so much.I layed on her bed and nurded Cooper andjust looked around and took it all in, as I knew I would never see this same sight again.It still keeps me awake every night, the longing to see her, and not getting za real good chance to say goodbye, no closure to alot of things. I love her.
