The Big 2-8!

Aren't Cousins the Best?

Cooper loves playing with his cousins, especially now that he can crawl to wherever they are and then crawl all over them. Elizabeth is so funny because she let's Cooper crawl all over her and if she starts to get annoyed, she pretends like she's asleep. I think she learned this from Logan (he pretends like he's sleeping whenever Elizabeth wants him to do something he doesn't want to). Below is Elizabeth, Thatcher (Cody's cousin's son...would that be Cooper's second cousin?), and Cooper.

By the way, Cooper had his 6 month check up about a week and a half ago and all the shots that came with it. He weighs 18 1/2 pounds (75%) and is 28 inches tall (95%). I don't think I'll ever know what it's like to have a "petite" baby.

Update on the Home...

I decided I better update you all on our home since the post "The Pleasures of Owning a Home". The water softener's circuit board ended up not being blown; Cody just had to jiggle a few parts to get it up and running. Yeah! We don't have to buy a new water softener. The roof is still leaking, but our home owners insurance is paying to have a new roof put on as well as the dry wall replaced where it leaked into our bedroom (Cody actually did a little "happy dance" when the agent from our insurance told us the good news) and Monday our house will be de-termited (did I forget to mention we had termites?). Hopefully this takes care of all the big expenses our house could incure for the next few years (knock on wood).
