Splendor in the grass

We were able to spend Memorial Day with Lorraine's family. The weather was gorgeous, and we enjoyed a delicious BBQ outside. Here are some pictures from the afternoon.

Examining Mama's nose

Still trying to get that great cousins picture!

Happy Cooper

Cousins!

This past weekend, we got together with many of Lorraine's cousins in Maryland. Many thanks to cousins Bree and Steve for hosting - we had a lot of fun!

Cooper found the trampoline to be great fun!

Cooling down with Dada


Walking back to the house with Pop Pop


A dual diaper change!


One of many failed attempts for a group shot - Cooper wanted nothing to do with it!


Charlotte and Tegan were more willing participants

Getting really sleepy now...

One last attempt at a cousins' shot...maybe next time!

Cheese!

Cooper has started hamming it up for the camera...when he feels like it. Here are a few recent shots we've captured.

Hanging out at Nordstrom's


Enjoying some avocado


With juice and a balloon


And not smiling..but eating cheese like a big boy - no booster seat for this boy!

Our little bruiser

A few weeks ago, we had a little accident - our face met a step. Which resulted in a not-so-pretty shiner. Here are a few pictures of the eye...

Right after it happened, enjoying some juice


Playing with Dada in the tub


Bubbles!!!




Putting "flowers" in Mama's hair


Chilling out on my chair


Enjoying Elmo!


As you can see, Cooper did just fine. Mama and Dada, not so much!
