So, clearly I took a brief sabbatical from blogging during the fall. A lot of interesting things were happening in the Wells household! After much prodding from friends and relatives, I will now catch you up on the last three or so months of our lives!
When last we blogged, Cooper had turned into tailgater extraordinaire and was crawling and pulling up on almost anything he could find. His favorite activity, and still to this day, is getting into the cabinets and playing the symbols with the pot lids.
We ventured out to the pumpkin patch in Watkinsville to pick out Cooper's very first pumpkin. He was more concerned with trying to eat them than anything else!
Halloween was a fun time for us. Cooper was a pumpkin and had a party at his then daycare and a party at his friend Junah's house. He played so well with the other kids and liked going from house to house and listening to people tell him what a cute 'punkin' he was!
(Caption: Feeling extremely nauseated; especially since David had fed me a tofu meatball earlier in the evening without knowing it would taste like garbage. Yum.)
It was around this time that David and I found out that we would have a new addition to our family in June! A baby (sex yet to be determined) will be making its arrival around June 22nd. To answer your questions: yes we know what causes it, yes we wanted another child and no we are not crazy. It was a good thing that Cooper started to walk also during this time- he is getting ready to get out of the way for a little sister or brother!
Cooper did really well with walking. He started taking his first brave little steps at daycare and then David and I worked with him at home at night. After a few days he was completely independent! Having him walk in shoes was a different story- he did fine, but it was like a cat walking on wet grass at first- just a little awkward.
We took Cooper to ride the Pink Pig before Christmas at Lenox Mall. He didn't really know what was going on, but he liked looking at all of the colorful displays!
Finally, Christmas was upon us and Cooper had a nice time playing with all of the boxes that the toys came in. Kidding, he did like the boxes, but has also been steady at play with all of his new toys.
Normally I have great New Year's resolutions. Most of the time they include things like being more healthy, spending less money, etc. This year, my only goal is to survive. I recently realized that having children close in age comes naturally in my family- my grandmother had my aunt and uncle on my dad's side 10 months apart; my mom's sister had two of her kids about 16 months apart; my two cousins on my dad's side are 12 months apart. They all survived and so can we! This will be a great year for the Wells Family. We will soon find out what baby number 2 is sometime in February. We will keep you posted. Also, stay tuned for pics from 'First Haircut' from this past weekend!
