{6 months}

Just posting these pictures of the last 6 months I see through them how his personality has developed. He thankfully continues to be the "happy baby" we have always called him. It is such a joy to watch him throughout the day just smile and smile and smile. The true joy of childhood.

6 months....I can't believe it. I am so excited for Cooper as he is growing and developing every day. He is more aware of his surroundings watching everything and everyone. He is trying to be as mobile as he can be, scooting, pushing, rolling and turning to maneuver himself where he wants to be. He likes to play in his jumperoo and bounce around while grabbing at his toys. He continues to find his voice, especially enjoying talking in his highest octave when Daddy is trying to sleep in. He is a great eater, devouring his fruits and veggies at each meal, hopefully this healthy appetite will stay. And we are expecting any day now for this first tooth to officially break through.

Today, rather than be sad about the fact that the last 6 months have flown by I have found myself anticipating what the next 6 months will bring!

{snow dayz}

Cooper got to see more snow than Mommy and Daddy have ever seen in their lives! True fact: this 14 inch snow storm is the most in Dallas in years and years and years. Thursday night when Cooper was sound asleep we lost power at our house so Aunt Farrah came to the rescue and then we spent a couple of nights with her. Brandon rigged the house to a generator so we could come back home and finally on Sunday we got our power back. It was fun seeing all the snow, but we are glad to be home and warm and be thawing out:)

{Wordless Wednesday}

{January RaNdOmNeSs}

I feel very guilty that I did not take many pictures this past month, so I will be sure to make up for it next week. I was down with a yucky cold for a week on top of 1st trimester pregnancy yuckiness, then C got a lil cold and now B has it. I think we were all worn out from the holiday maddness;)

Here are a few random shots of C hanging at the house (we have stayed close to home this month):

He loves playing in his exersaucer. He pulls on all the toys and plays the piano...

He is making friends with Gizzy and Gizzy gets so excited to play...Here is a picture of C after he had scooted of his mate in search of new and better toys, we will be chasing him around the house soon!

I forgot to take pictures, but I have started making C's food. So far I have made his pears and nectarines. They smell so much better and taste so good too! This next week we are going to start eating some veggies, so I plan to make sweet potatoes, butternut squash and sweet peas. So far C has had apples, bananas, prunes, pears and nectarines. I will post pics as we venture into new foods. It is so fun seeing his facial expressions at new foods.

February forcasts a major change in the Johnson household...B's work schedule is changing so he will be home in the mornings and working in the evenings. Thankfully he has the same days off, so my work schedule did not have to change as well, but needless to say it will be very different for all of us. I hope and pray that he will be back to mornings soon.

I will also be in my 2nd trimester in a little over a week. This pregnancy seems to be flying by, August 10th will be here in no time. We should find out the sex of the baby mid March, so until then we just wait and wait and wait and....

I am looking forward to C's 6th month, I have heard mom's talk about how exciting the 6th month is...so hears to many pics to come!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

{that face}

that face is the reason I get up every morning.
that face motivates me to get out of bed when my body wants just 5 more minutes of sleep
that face makes me smile the second our eyes meet
that face lights up my heart daily
that face makes everyday worth it all
that face makes me thank God for you every moment I pause
that face is perfect

{5 months}

I know I say it as every month tics by, "WOW, I can't believe lil C is 5 months old!"

We don't go back to the doctor will the end of February so I don't have any stats, but obviously C keeps on growing. This is such an amazing experience watching him change every day.

C is getting much better eating food. Now that we have started giving him fruit with his cereal, he likes it much better. No, he's not talking yet, but he is 'communicating' to us through smiling, laughing, spitting, reaching, grabbing, shaking, scooting, pushing and pulling. He prefers to be helped to sit up or play in his exersaucer so he can see the world from a better vantage point than the floor. He is also much more aware of his surroundings, watching the dogs as they move around, noticing when you leave the room, reacting to various voices as people come and go. Thankfully, he continues to be such a "happy baby" and as B often says to him, "I hope you stay this happy." Of course I do too, but I have started warning C of high school already:)

{Happy Birthday}

And baby makes 4!!!!

Yep, you read that right!

Brandon and I were VERY SURPRISED to find out that Baby Johnson#2 is on the way and YES! Due to arrive on August 10, 2010. No, your mind is not playing tricks on you, Cooper will not quite be 1 yet!!

As of today, I am 10 weeks along and doing well. As you can imagine I am very tired and have been having some of those not so great pregnancy symptoms, that make some days hanging with Cooper more challenging than others. I thank God everyday that Cooper has such a good temperment, making things all over easier.

So in honor of my birthday today, I announce the upcoming birthday of Baby Johnson #2!
