My first black eye.....

So we had our first black eye today......Cooper is very good about playing by himself in his room with the toys I scatter out and pick up each day (this is my way of showing him early that when we are finished playing with the toys we put them away).  His favorite thing now is his ball pit (pictures are shown) and he has learned how to climb in and out of it.  He also decided today was the day he was going to pull up on anything and everything and try to maneuver his way around the room.  Unfortunately, now that he can climb in and out of it I have to watch him a bit closer now because today he pushed the ball pit up next to his changing table and when climbing out of it he hit one of the shelves and gave himself a black eye.  I will have to be careful about taking him out in public because someone will probably think I abused him or something..... 

Memorial Day Weekend

Well we survived Memorial Day!  Cooper had a very fun-filled weekend of 1sts!  We took him to Rockport for his first time at the beach on Saturday.  He absolutely LOVED the water and sand.  It might have been the first time I have seen him actually stick something in his mouth...meaning seaweed!  We also took him to Canyon Lake for his first time in the boat!  I have to admit...I was a little leery of taking him in the boat because I wasn't sure how he would react to the movement and noise.....I should have known that I tend to overreact and think the worst of situations because again...he LOVED it!  The strangest thing happened....the movement of the boat actually put him to sleep....we had a harder time keeping him awake!  Experiencing something with your child that you love so much is priceless.....I don't know what I would do if he didn't like the water because we are such water people.  To see the joy in his face was amazing!
