Picassocooper




We got some artwork to show off from our little Pablo Picassocooper. He's been doing some really cool stuff at daycare and here at home and our basement door has become our own Institute of Arts! Coop did all the work here including his life-size Christmas Cookie Gingerbreadman, of course at 2 and 1/2 he still gets some help but he's been doing really well at getting the hang of making his own art projects and having fun at it too.

PS: Colby has his own little project, its the brown house in the upper left with his handprints on the top of the roof!

Colby's Cruising

Well its been so long since I filled you all in on how Colby is doing. He is doing awesome. We're thrilled at his progress. In mid Dec Colby finally finished up being cycled off Phenobarbital, the pink nightmare as we like to call it. Imagine giving your 6 month old a vial of strawberry syrup, twice a day, NOT FUN! Try keeping that off your clothes, his clothes, the furniture, etc while your little guy fights you as he takes down each drop. Ugh, we were so glad to see that stuff go, not to mention what it did to the Big Cheese. About a week after he was fully off the Pheno, Colby was a totally different baby. He was smiling more, interacting more and started to eat! He just would not eat solid foods while on the Pheno. But now he chows down, just like he was before the accident. He's been progressing in many other things too. He now crawls like a champ, just cruising allover as fast as Usain Bolt. One second he's in the living room, next second he's across the kitchen. Colby started clapping the other day too. Colby continues to love his daycare and has some good friends there that he crawls and hangs with all day. The little guy also continues his weekly visits with the early-on crew who continue to evaluate and work with Colby on his overall development. Team Colby is going strong!

So much to say!

Wow! Its been over two months since my last post and boy do I have alot to write about. I'll be filling you in throughout the week about a crawling Colby, a singing Cooper, a busy Jessica, my busted knee (yes I couldn't make it out of 2009 without my own trip to the hospital), kiddie- sniffles, coughs, pink eye and throw up, a new year, new hope, and lots more. I'll be posting as much as I can throughout this next week and hopefully getting back on the blogging wagon.
For the time being here's a few photos of the Big Cheese and Super Dooper from the holidays, more pics to come too.
Blog to ya later!
