From a few months ago...

I was going through my pictures and found these cute ones of Cooper from October that I never shared! I just love this little smile--and those CHUNKY, CHUNKY legs!

I can't believe how much he's changed already--he has 4 teeth now, more hair, and is getting ready to walk! To think that he will be a year next month just kills me! My baby is growing up! :)

Have a great day! :)

It's OOOOOZE!!

We've been having so much fun with some of the kids crafts I found on Pinterest! We got this recipe for Gak-- we call it Oooze. Well, Landen calls it Ninja Turtle Ooze! ;) It's a blast to play with-- and the best part: it's cheap and lasts a long time! I just make sure my kids wash their hands before they play with it so that it will last longer. Here's some pics of the boys having fun:
