I've been doing a lot of that lately.   Cracking up as in laughing my head off, and "cracking up" as in oh my goodness I've done five loads of laundry in the last ten hours and Kenny still doesn't have a clean pair of shorts that fit him to wear to church.   And then Casey does something innocent like turn the sprinkler on at noon on a 90…

Cooper is an addict.   A very adorable and sweet addict, but an addict all the same.   In the evenings, it's all I can do to get five minutes without him crying so desperately for milk that you'd think I hadn't fed him all day.   The trade-off is that he's been sleeping 5 to 6 hour stretches, then another 2 hour stretch at night, so the binging is…

Well, we found the camera.   After ransacking the house, making a list of theft possibilities (we'd had a cleaning service and two construction workers in the house on the day the camera disappeared), we finally thought to ask Kenny.   He said, "I know where it is," then gave us a bunch of bogus locations.   But it did trigger us to look on his level, in some of…

Cooper's still adorable and STILL only waking once a night.   Kenny is still a loveable rascal and I STILL don't have time to write!   And we can't find the camera... so no new pictures at the moment. Hm... there's a little baby doing an impressive impersonation of a woodpecker on my shoulder... guess that's my cue...

Cooper has surfer dude hair.   It is so cool.   I think it's my favorite feature about him so far.   When he first emerged from the womb, it was curly and sticky and looked like it had frosted tips.   Now it's downy and  some lays softly against his head and the rest sticks up  and still has wild sun-bleached highlights.   Maybe I spent too much time…

Having a new baby in the house, with a post-surgery mamma, means lots of time with Daddy and the grandparents! Casey and Kenny and Papa spent some time fishing on the dock yesterday...   ...and they caught a record FIFTEEN (yes, that's 15!) fish!   Kenny is doing very well, considering that his whole world has been rocked!   He's had a couple moments of whining and obvious jealousy, but…

So far so good.   Cooper and I came home Wednesday at lunchtime.   He is a great little sleeper (so far!) and a pretty vigorous eater, too.   Kenny is happy to have him home to stay... ... and Casey is already prepping him on rooting for the home team. I'm having some wicked side effects from the surgery, namely horrid headaches and overall swelling.   In fact, I…
