Blog On - Playing Catch Up

Well, we finally got broadband working in our new house. I hate going so long between posts, but using dial-up to blog (or do anything else for that matter) just knocks the wind out of a person. So now weeks have gone by and I've wanted to write so many things, but now that I'm sitting at the computer, I don't even know where to begin. I'll just let the pictures tell the story and fill in the blanks here and there.

Cooper's stocking. It's huge. We bought another one for the new baby.

Cooper's first time eating Cheerios was on Christmas Day. Those toy rings are usually not very far from Cooper. He gets up in the morning and goes right over and picks them up.

Santa was good to us this year. The dining room light in the pictures is just god awful. I can't wait to replace it.

It seems like every toy these days makes noise and blinks. When I was a kid we had to use our imagination and actually make the noises ourselves. I remember going "Vroom! Vroom!" a whole lot.

One day I caught him playing at the front door. He just loved to open it and then close it and then repeat the process, many, many times.

It took him a little while, but he has started to play with his toys. At first he just looked at them. If you put his blocks away he will almost immediately go over and empty them out on the floor.

From today. It was very nice out. A beautiful day. It would've been a much better day though if Carson Palmer hadn't blown his knee out on his second play from scrimmage.

Cooper loves Rachael Ray. One night he was sleeping in his mother's arms when the show came on. He woke up and crawled straight up to the television.

Welcome back! Now we know why you moved, to have room for all those toys! Dang! I thought we had a lot! Will Cooper be whipping up something a la Rachae Ray in the Mix Master?
