A visit from Grandma & Grandpa Gorsuch

Matt's parents have been in town (from N. Carolina) and have absolutely spoiled Cooper rotten!!! That's what they're there for right?! We don't get to see them as much as we would like, but we try to make the most of the time we have!

Playing with Grandpa Ralph!
Cheezin' for the camera... or laughing at grandpa!
Playing with the cool new toy (for his birthday!) with Grandma Carrie!
And grandma's favorite time of day... snuggle time!


We had fun with you guys up here! Thanks for visiting and taking such good care of Cooper!!!

Strike has been called off!

Yes, I've been on a blogging strike. No reason, just needed a break! So here we are again.

This little guy wants to WALK so badly. He took his first step/dive to me on Friday night, followed by a huge bang into the coffee table.

Here he is, pushing his stroller at the fair. HAHA
Cooper's favorite thing at the fair... tractors!!! He loved the steering wheels!
We have been working SO hard to get this guy to feed himself. He wasn't putting toys in his mouth, let alone food, sippy cups, etc. He has come leaps & bounds in the last 6 weeks! Here he is with his yummy biter biscuit!
We also have his starting to hold his bottle! What a guy.


More updates are on the way, but just wanted to let ya'll know the strike is over. I'm baaaaack! {bwahahaha!} :)

The little guy's new 'do!

Matt & I took a big step the other day... Cooper got his first "official" haircut!

I say "official" because it was done by a professional.. we have buzzed and trimmed a little here and a little there... including the infamous baby mullet {not the mullet!!!}... but not until it became a huge mop on the top of his head {and my mother called him a hippy boy} and it was out of control did I allow my husband {hehe} to talk me into getting his hairs trimmed and evened out!

No worries... my watchful eye was there to make sure the curls were not taken away for good!

Before... Cooper looks worried!


Matt's long-time friend Casey did the honors
{who by the way JUST got engaged - congrats Casey!!!}
Our finished stud-muffin! He looked like such a little man.


Casey did a great job! Matt was laughing because neither he or Casey could have imagined the day that she would be cutting his {I know, ours, but for old-time friends sake, his} son's hair!

I am so freaked out to cut little Mr. Cooper's hair, so this is a huge step for me! I DO NOT want to lose the curls... I'm not quite ready to let go. No worries... I won't let it go too far so the poor kid will be haunted with a mullet, but I LOVE those stinkin' cute curls. {he's starting to get flippies on the back of his head too!!! yeah!!!} The best part about this haircut is that I think it's making it grow in faster :) - His daddy is LOVING that! haha!! Thankfully he got ONE trait from me {my hair is ridiculously super-fast growing - no I don't use miracle grow as shampoo - wow, that was way out there - I have no idea where that came from. wow.}... poor kid this trait may curse you...
