Outside

The last several days have brought very warm weather and we have been able to spend a lot of time outside. Cooper got to play in the grass for the first time on Sunday and he loved it. Although, I did find him trying to eat grass, dirt, rocks, and anything else he found on the ground. Josie got to run around in just a long sleeved shirt so she was happy as could be. When we have cool days again, Josie will probably fight putting a jacket on. On Sunday, we were able to till our garden up. I don't think we have ever been this far ahead of the game on the garden.
Cooper is becoming a climber. Anytime the gate to the upstairs is left open he makes a bee line for them and starts climbing. Unfortunately he can be quite sneaky as he is a very quiet boy. He also likes to sneak into the bathroom and play in the toilet. We are having to be very careful about either putting the seat down or just shutting the door to the bathroom. Cooper also got to try finger painting for the first time last week and he wasn't so sure about it.
Josie loves being able to spend more time outside. She is getting so good at going up and down her swingset. She loves to be in her swing as well. Luckily, Cooper likes to swing a lot too. Otherwise I have a feeling I would have a hard time keeping him away from Josie swinging. She also is really starting to love to ride her bike. She is getting pretty good at peddaling as long as she is on the flat.

Well checks!

Both Josie and Cooper had well baby check ups today and everything went very well! Luckily neither kid needed shots today so it wasn't so bad taking both kids at the same time. When we were sitting in the waiting room Josie was super talkative and playful but as soon as we got back to our room and the doctor came in she clammed up and wouldn't hardly talk. Cooper on the other hand had lots to tell the doctor about as he didn't hardly stop babbling the entire time we were there.
Josie had her 2.5 year check up and here are her stats:
Weight - 31 lbs 11 oz (81st percentile)
Height - 36.46 in (68th percentile)
Head - 19.25 in (72nd percentile)
Cooper had his 9 month check up and here are his stats:
Weight - 21lbs 2oz (56th percentile)
Height - 27.95 in (33rd percentile)
Head - 18 in (67th percentile)
For some reason Cooper seems so much bigger although his stats don't say much for his age. Can you tell who Cooper looks like?
