Johnson Baby Update: Swimming and shopping, perfect activities for a 104 degree day.

Kylie and Cooper had a good day in Porterville. Kylie woke up early and got in lots of good play time. She got to swing to the moon, and got to partake in her other favorite Ammy and Papa's house activity: she got to go see the cows. She LOVES walking over to the neighbor's house to see the cows, sheep, mean sheep, the doggies, and the horse. It was very hot on our walk to see the animals, so when we got back we decided to go swimming. Kylie, Lala, Timmy, and Jilly had some fun playing in the pool while mommy was having a fun trip to Target and Marshall's. Natalie was so excited to get the chance to get to Target while Kylie was sleeping, so she went with Tay Tay and Cooper with the hopes of getting back before Kylie woke up. That didn't happen, but Kylie was happy to go see the animals and go swimming with her uncle and aunties. Cooper continues to be a very happy baby. He eats, sleeps, pees, poops, and smiles. What more could we expect from him? He's precious. The kiddos are going to keep everyone busy the next few days, so it's off to bed for me.

Love,
Lala

P.S. Craig took a nice long bike ride to Riverside this morning, when he was just about ready to turn around and head back (25 miles from home) his back tire popped, he looked back to see what happened and he hit a bump and crashed. Luckily he was not going to fast and didn't get hurt, besides a little scrape on his leg. After unsuccessfully trying to patch the hole he walked 2.5 miles to the nearest bike shop, they got him all fixed up and he headed back home. By the time he got home, his 2 hour bike ride had turned in to a 6 hour adventure. I am glad he didn't get to badly hurt and I am glad he made it back home safe and sound, and I am really glad his work didn't end up calling him in while he was stuck 25 miles from home with a broken bike. We got to skype with him this evening, but we still miss him a lot.

Cooper is up on Taylor's blog! http://wp.me/p3Ct4v-eo

Cooper was a happy boy during our shopping trip.

" You got decaf coffee at this Starbucks, right mom?"

"Look at how strong I am in my Super Cooper outfit."

Smiles for Uncle Timmy.

After waking up at 2:30 with Cooper who had soaked through his diaper and pjs, waking up at 4:30 with Kylie who soaked through her diaper and pjs, and again waking up wet with Cooper pee at 6:30 (he also spit up all over my chest when we sat up), we decided to take a little early morning nap while Kylie played with her aunties. He also wet through during this nap and so I ended up peed on again. My shower felt extra wonderful today (and I am starting to think that my extensive diaper stripping yesterday did not work well).

We got Kylie some silver sparkly goggles in hopes that they might make bath time hair a little easier since she complains about the water in her eyes. She wore the goggles on her eyes and as a head band almost all evening but refused to put them on in the bath.
