Independant Cooper

Cooper is soo independant lately. He wants to do everything all by himself like a big boy. He will not let me buckle him. When he goes potty, he shuts the door and does not want me to help him. Today we took him to the doctors office. It was so cute to see what a big boy he was. He did everything the doctor asked, and then they did a nebulizer breathing treatment on him and he sat so still and held it himself right up to his nostrils. He did that for over 5 minutes until the treatment was done.

I have been slightly concerned about him lately. She is showing a few signs of his heart weakening. Last night he was moaning and tossing and turning in the night. I brought him in my bed and I could hear his breathing sound pretty strained. I instantly though that it was a sickness or his heart was having problems. I made a doc appointment in the morning and brought him in and it turns out that it was his asthma. He was having an asthma attack. I can't beleive that I TOTALLY forgot that Cooper has asthma. It never occured to me to get out the nebulizer. Yikes!

Baby Songs - Shapes and Songs

WARNING - this posting is not suitable for kids.

The kids were listening to baby songs in the car, and there was a song about shapes and body parts (example - head circle, arm rectangle etc..). Anyway from the back seat in a very serious, not joking voice, taylor shouted, "I know, a penis is a circle".

Cooper got a haircut

Cooper got a haircut (I will post a pic soon). Anyway when I told taylor that she needs to go look at Cooper because he has a new haircut, she asked me if his voice has changed too.

I think Taylor really likes it. She kept asking him to look at her so that she can see it again. Today she told him that she is so sorry that she cannot marry him because "you can't marry your brother".

"Hi"

Mason's favorite word to day is "Hi" he says it all the time. So cute. Here is a video.

Mason Turns 1

Mason had a great bday today. I also thought I would never get him off breastfeeding, and surprise surprise he started taking the bottle just fine about 2 days ago and today he did perfectly! Hurray for Mason.

The coolest thing that happened for his birthday was that he learned the work "stinky". So so so funny. He was on my lap and passed gas and then smiled and said "stinky". I laughed so hard. Then it happened again, and he said "stinky" again. I am so proud of my little boy.

For his birthday he got a wagon (thank-you Grandma Grandpa mission). I think Taylor and Cooper love it just as much as he does. We went on a fun walk to the park in it, and everyone was fighting over turns (including some neighbourhood kids). He also got a really cool train that shoots ball out, and a gift card to GAP (thanks Grandma Grandpa Moyer).

We had a great day. We went out for lunch, played at the house, and tomorrow we are going to see a 3D movie.

Happy Birthday Mason!!!

Taylor's Bedtime Prayer

Here are a couple of the things Taylor said in her bedtime prayer tonight:

Please bless that no one will be allergic to cats, bunnies, doggies and birdies.

Please bless that Mason will learn to walk tomorrow.

Welcoming Committee - The Angelic Cat

Our actual moving date is next on Saturday, but we have been going over to our new house to paint and get things ready. Taylor has been a little hesitant to move. She says she will miss her friends. The other day she woke up and told me she had been crying in her bed because she will miss her preschool and primary.

We stopped by the new house yesterday to visit Jason who was painting. It was like a picture perfect neighbourhood. There were kids running up and down the street, and our neighbour stopped by to introduce himself. He has a 3 year old son, a 5 year old daughter, an 11 year old, and a 14 year old who babysit. The house across from us lives twin 3 year old boys. Best of all, a kitty came over to welcome Taylor and Cooper. This is the friendliest kitty I have ever seen. It came right up to Taylor and Cooper. It kissed cooper and layed her head on his lap.

As Annie would say, "I think I'm Gonna Like it Here"
