Pictures

Not much new is going on in the Hanson household lately. Our corn was combined last week so that's great to have completed. Cooper still has not rolled from his belly to his back for me, but I suspect it might be hard to do on wood floors. Here is a hodgepodge of pictures from the last month.

Cooper ready for the cold weather with a hat that is too small.

Josie enjoying a giant pickle at the Vernon County Fair. She loved all of the animals and the Ferris Wheel, although she wouldn't go for a ride.

Josie playing in the Baking Soda she dumped all over the floor when mommy was busy in the other room. Atleast she was having fun:)

Cooper smiling for the camera for once!

More big smiles from Cooper!

Rolling...all the way over and Potty!!!

Well, yesterday and today Josie and Cooper got to spend some time over at our neighbor Jack and Janet's house. Luke cut hay this last weekend and it was my job to rake it up, as long as I had a babysitter. Luckily Jack and Janet love the kids and couldn't wait to spend some alone time with them. Well, I went to pick up the kids yesterday and was told that Cooper was rolling all over the place at their house. Then when I picked them up today I heard the same thing. Unfortunately I have not seen this happen myself yet. I guess he was tired of mommy seeing all of his firsts!!

Josie also decided that she wanted to pee on the potty on Tuesday. After she got up from nap she insisted on having her diaper off. So I took her diaper off and just a few minutes later she was trying to put a clean diaper back on. I went over and put the diaper on Josie and as soon as it was on she started crying like crazy. I asked her what was wrong and she told me "diaper off...pee on potty." So, I told her to take the diaper off and to sit down on the potty. Needless to say she took the diaper off and sat on the potty and a few seconds later she was standing next to the potty and pointing to it saying "pee. pee." and when I went over to look there was actually pee in it. As she is only just over 2 years old I'm not pushing the potty to hard, but I do hope that she keeps at the potty and will hopefully soon be potty trained!!!

Cooper is 4 months old!!!

Cooper turned 4 months old last Tuesday!!! Unfortunately, I have had lots going on this last week. Cooper has been rolling over from back to belly for almost a month. He can sit supported for short periods of time. He loves to find his toes. He is just about outgrowing his 3-6 month clothes and will be getting into the 6-9 month clothes within the next several weeks. He has also started eating spoonfed cereal and baby food. So far, he seems to like everything that he has tried. He has not been sleeping to well that last week or so, so mommy is very tired! Here are his stats:

Weight - 16 pounds 6 ounces - 80th percentile

Height - 24 inches - 40th percentile

Head Circumference - 42.5 cm

Josie also met with the pediatric orthopedic surgeon last week because her leg is slightly bent and she toes in. The doctor confirmed that it was normal and she should outrgow it. If by 1st grade she is still toeing, we are to bring her back in for another consult.

Josie is 2!!!

I still can't believe that my baby girl is 2 already!!! Her birthday was last Monday 8/29. On the day of her birthday we spent the evening together where she got presents from mommy and daddy and Cooper. She also got to have a cake and some ice cream. We celebrated this last Saturday with a big party with our extended families. Josie got lots of wonderful presents and of course had more cake and ice cream. Since her birthday we catch her several times a day singing Happy Birthday to You!!! It is so cute!

She has been talking our ears off the last several months. Ever since her tubes were put in she has been learning so many more words and she is even starting to put phrases together.

She loves to hold her baby brother and has even started to try and feed him a bottle on occasion.

This last weekend she decided that she wanted to sleep in Cooper's crib and she figured out how to crawl in and out of his crib. Of course, this is only if the crib side is down. So now Luke and I have to remember to keep the crib side up.

The big roll!!!

Cooper officially rolled over last night. He was on his playmat and he rolled from his back to his belly. He has also rolled over 2 times already today. Yeah!!!

Nothin much...

Not much has changed here in the Hanson household in the last several weeks. Last week would have been my 1st week back to work, if I had gone back. Boy, am I sure glad that we chose for me to stay home. Our garden has been fruitful this summer and we have been out picking most days. Josie loved to pick the peas. Unfortunately, she didn't know which ones to pick so a lot of the times she would just pick the pods with no peas in them yet. She also loved to eat the peas!!

Cooper has started to giggle when being played with and talked to. He rolled from his back to his belly last week while laying on the couch. I should also state the the couch cushion does not lay perfectly flat so he did have some help from gravity. He is also sleeping pretty consistently 9-10 hours at night. I sure am spoiled by kids that like to sleep. He does not sleep much during the day though.

Josie loves to play by her little brother. Enjoy the pictures of the kids!

Baptism

This last Sunday was Cooper's baptism. We chose to have the baptism after mass with just our families. Brett and Kendra are Cooper's godparents and we can't thank them enough. Here are some of the pictures from the baptism.Enjoy!
