Growing Up, Too Fast!

I can't believe Parker just turned 8 months old! Where does the time go? He started crawling a few weeks ago and just pulled himself up to a standing position today, all by himself.  He now has 8 teeth, hopefully we are done for a little while! Bob and I are tired of getting up in the middle of the night!!

Aunt Kim and Uncle Greg came to visit this past week. Cooper had SO much fun with his cousin Elise and was excited to meet his new cousin's Charlotte & Caroline. Each morning Cooper would wake up and the first thing he'd say was "can I see Elise now?" My Mom and Elise would drive over on the golf cart and pick him up. It was really cute how well they got along. He misses her a lot. The funny thing though, he'd get confused and call Elise, Tinsley.  I'd say that's Elise, not Tinsley and he'd say "that's right...Tinsley is in Arizona".  Guess it's hard for him to keep those two fun cousins straight!  

Cooper will be starting swim lessons next week and we cannot wait for him to swim on his own.  From what we hear, he will be able to after the intense, crazy 3 weeks of lessons.  As you can see from the pictures below, he loves to be in the pool.

Say cheese!

Who wants a hug?

My 1st haircut!  Well Daddy's 1st attempt at cutting it. Good try, but I prefer the salon next time please!

Parker loves to watch Cooper take a bath! He crawls from his room into the bathroom each night when he hears the water turn on. 

About to stand up on my own! 

And I did it, a few days later!
