Too Cute Tuesday!

You have to admit...these are the cutest kids you've ever seen!

Doesn't Tennyson look like a little girl...definitely not a 3 month old...in this pic

Tennyson is quite the trooper...Coop is a crazy ball of energy and she usually just sits there and laughs at him...even when he pokes and tries to feed her with his sippy cup.

punkin' patch

last weekend we visited the local punkin' patch...it wasn't quite the pumpkin patch experience i remember growing up...but it was close to home...free... and had lots of pumpkins for cooper to touch and "try to eat"...he didn't know what to do with so many pumpkins!  Thanks Papa for keeping up with him!  Tennyson didn't have as much fun...it was super windy and caught her breath most of the time...but when it wasn't windy...she loved just being outside trailing brother in the stroller.

we ALL wished the fall lasted all year 'round!

sleep

WE LOVE SLEEP!!!

last night tennyson slept through the night!!!  she ate at 7:30...was asleep and in bed by 8...i snuck in a few ounces (sleep and feed) at 10...and she slept till 7:00am!!!  unfortunately, mama didn't sleep well...had a few weird dreams and kept waking up thinking she was screaming.  anyway...we are on our way to full nights sleep for mama and baby!

this is a picture of tennyson sleeping in her swing...woohoo!!!  we had the swing out when she was first born...she would swing all the time...then with the onset of the reflux at 2 weeks...she hated being put into anything other than her bed...or someone's arms....so we put the swing away.  this weekend in the nursery at church...she swung in their swing most of the time and even slept in it...so, i decided to bust out the swing and try it again.  she loved it.  she would sit and swing content in front of the window... and even fell asleep a few times.  the only thing we have to work on is getting cooper to keep his hands off "T-T".  he likes to swing her...which is a little rough...but she doesn't mind only when he "pokes" her.  

So, bring on the sleep!!!

My little girl is 2 Months

Tennyson is 2 months old!!! Time sure flies...she is growing up fast. As you can see from the pics...she is a happy little baby when her tummy isn't bothering her. She is a joy and life is getting a little easier each day.


If you haven't noticed...she favors Daniel in more ways than me. Those are Daniel's white legs and she blends in. She is completely opposite to Cooper's features. She is white...long...skinny. Cooper is dark...stubby...not fat...but stocky! ;)

Big Brother+Little Sister= LOVE!!!

Just had to share some pics of Cooper and Tennyson. Tennyson actually laid on the floor quietly this morning under her play gym while I got Cooper up and he drank him morning milk. Once Coop was done...he wanted to "play" with "T-T"...mommy supervised of course. I couldn't resist a photo op.
As you can see...Cooper is more excited about playtime than Tennyson.


This is why it would be hard to wean coop off the pacifier at this time...he'll find one to borrow!

playing in the "IKE" rain

saturday it rained ALL day...being in the indirect path of hurricane IKE...we got tons of rain this weekend...but the good thing was there was no lightening or thunder...and it was relatively warm.  so, coop and i took full advantage of the perfect "play in the rain" opportunity.  i remembered cooper had a raincoat which fit perfectly.  Cooper at first didn't know what to think...and for a time...just stood there frozen like a statue...but once i got out there with him...he started having a blast.
