Photos of Cooper & Waverly Van Buren

Pair my belly dancing scarf with Cooper’s new found love of spinning and let the jingling begin! Check out the style, the grace, I see Dancing with the Stars in his future. (more…)

With temps soaring into the 80’s on Wed. Cooper and I spent the whole day outside. Check out the super cool hairdo you can get with just a little sunscreen. (more…)

We woke up Sat. morning to a very foggy day. We could barely see the geese out on the sandbar. Lucky for Cooper it’s not so bad to be inside if you have a Grandpa to play with! (more…)

We met up with Jeannie and Ellie and Lauren and Oliver to end the week with coffees for moms and sandbox time for the kids. For the most part the kids played nicely but, check out the face Cooper gave me when he mistook me for the paparazzi. Good thing Ellie has such an on the ball bodyguard. (more…)

The Pattersons joined us for dinner and to celebrate St. Patrick’s day and Jeannie was kind enough to take over storytime before we put the kids to bed. We’re still not sure what they’re conspiring about at the window… (more…)

Sometime around Thanksgiving Cooper decided he wanted to try an onion. So we let him…
You’d think he’d stop after the first bite but, no not Cooper he kept eating, even through the tears. He still comes into the kitchen when I’m cooking saying, “onion? onion?” and I give him a piece to munch on. (more…)

Quicktime version

I swear he was saying water or, actually, ‘wa wa puddle’ right up until the time the camera started rolling

With temps in the 60’s and Ellie over to play we couldn’t think of anything more fun than checking out the puddles in the backyard. (more…)
