{Memorial Day}

In celebration of a lazy day off we decided to relax by the pool, ahhhh....our "ghetto plastic pool." C was excited playing the water outside for the first time.

He even tried to swim a few times, but I think we will leave that for the big pool and maybe some swim lessons. B has been working on getting the backyard 'boy' ready and there is still much more to do, but it was fun enjoying our new yard today.

{wild flowers}

Aunt Rara and I took C out to take pics in his new wagon, but since C was so fasinated by all the wildflowers we would barely get him to look at the camera. Here are a couple pics to share and after I go through the 100+ we took in hopes of a good one I hope to post a couple more.

{9 month check up}

The stats:

{playin ball!}

As you look at these pics just image Cooper screaming

laughing
kicking his legs

in pure excitement

His new #1 favorite thing is playing ball with Daddy. He gets so excited you can't help stopping to watch him play, this is what childhood is all about, pure joyful happiness!

{9 months}

At 9months Cooper is frustratingly ready to crawl, but is still working on accomplishing it. He will pull up on all fours and rick back and forth, he just doesn't have the coordination to move forward yet. But, as I said last month, he can successfully get across the room by pushing, rolling and rotating in belly circles. He also likes us to help him stand up.
He has 6 teeth now and is beginning to try finger foods and chew. We gave him cheese for the first time recently and he loved it, so once again, he's just like his Daddy.
Brandon keeps saying he needs a hair cut and I disagree. He does have alot of hair and it is starting to show some curl, but we are not cutting it anytime soon.
C continues to make friends with the dogs, when they come in the room he screaches in excitement and tried to get closer to them.

{swings!}

I've been wanting to take C to the park to try out the toddler swings for a while now and we finally were able to make it today. I'm not too sure C really knew or cared about swinging, I was the one excited. I guess soon enough C will be able to enjoy the park.

{28 weeks}

The math is simple, in 12 weekish baby Dillion will be here. Yep, we finally decided on a name. Dillon Lawerence Johnson

I am hoping he gets here if not on his due date, August 10th a few days earlier. I am feeling much bigger this time, but I am going to keep hoping he's not bigger than C. Suddenly the 3rd trimester tiredness has set in. I had been pretty energetic and productive, now all I want to do is sleep again. But that's not possible, I feel like there is so much to do, ugggh stress.

Since C was hangin with us when I was taking my pic I stole a photo opp...

{Monday is 'Daddy Day'}

Cooper has 'Daddy Day' every Monday while I go to work. Today B got all dressed up, aka no tee shirt, and ironically he dressed C to match. They were on their way down to visit Nana but I had to take a quick picture since they looked so cute!

{Mother's Day}

My first mother's day was a little bittersweet because B had to work. I was a little sad, but I know he is only working so much so that I can enjoy being a mom right now. I feel very blessed to have a hubby that would do anything for his family and blessed to have such a great baby. Yes, mommyhood can be stressfull and tiring, but every moment is worth it. Seeing C grow, develop, and discover is the most amazing thing I have witnessed in life. I look forward to all that mommyhood will present me with.

{L-O-V-E HIM!}

Do I have to say anything, he is just P-E-R-F-E-C-T.
