For the first time in probably 8 years or so I was away from my hubby for New Year's Eve. It was weird. I think next year we will celebrate together! I was still in MS on our extended Christmas break (Cooper & I) when the ball dropped. But that 2 weeks we were there brought lots of changes in my growing boy. As I posted earlier, he is now walking - really well - and trying to mimic us more. He is growing too large for his onesies and jammies, he got his first real pair of shoes and is breaking them in quickly, and we are weaning from bottles in anticipation of his first birthday. He's changing so fast that I have to really sit down and think to remember it all!
The new year also brought another change. Pink will be added to our household soon! We found out that we are having a baby GIRL! I'm still adjusting to the news, and as it sinks in I am getting more and more excited. Cooper will be a great big brother. He loves other kids and even likes to "pat" his cousin Julie's baby dolls on the head (quite roughly, we'll have to work on that).
Other changes in our house:
cleaning out every closet in the house
rearranging furniture (some in each room) to make room for new baby
a new playroom upstairs for the kiddos
plans to replace all doorknobs with brushed nickel ones
a work-in-progress kitchen painting project
new knobs & pulls for the kitchen
and, of course, a new pinterest addiction!
