Monday, Monday...so good to me.

Another awesome day with my two awesome kids. Craig headed out the door early to hit the books and Kylie, Cooper and I headed to do some jumping at Big Air. We had a great time running and jumping, ate a yummy lunch and headed home just in time for our friends Taralyn and Max to come over (their power was out today). Cooper was a trooper this morning and played hard, made it through lunch and was asleep about 3 minutes after I put him in the car to drive him home. Kylie has been trucking along without taking a nap most days. Today she had some relaxing time and nursed when we got home, but as soon as cute little Max arrived she kicked into her babysitter/pretend to be Max's mommy mode. My parents had been out of town for the weekend so they came over when they got home, we had a big family dinner and enjoyed a nice walk around the block after we ate. Cooper has been talking more and more, today he was saying "Ma" for Max, it was SO sweet. Coop seems to really like having a baby around (Max is 6 months), he hugs Max and hands him toys, but he is also very jealous. Any time I am holding Max, reading to Max or even just talking to him, Cooper is right in the middle, wanting to be held, read to and talked to also. It is interesting to see this side of him. I made sure to give him lots of extra attention this evening and he seemed to do a little better.

Tomorrow is an early morning for both Craig and I, I am hoping to get some good sleep, I have a huge knot under my shoulder blade and it has been very hard to get comfortable, especially when I am nursing the Coop. Anyway good night for now :)

Actually playing TOGETHER at Big Air, yay!

 Coopers idea of helping with the folding. he got in to the empty basket then pulled all the clothes on top of himself, silly boy.

 Sporting his new outfit and shoes, thank you Raquel for passing down more of Alexander's clothes!

 Kylie got to try and wear Max today, he was a little fussy so she decided to wear Carly instead.

 Full dinner table = full heart

 Ky wanted a photo of her piggy tails now that her hair is short.

 Yesterday morning the kids got to help daddy in the kitchen. They made pancake muffins. Kylie pretty much did it all on her own, Craig just measured out the ingredients and placed then in front of her, she cracked the eggs, added everything together and mixed it all up. She loves to cook! She certainly didn't get that from me :)
