Well, we returned from our Southern adventure on Friday, July 11th. The trip was wonderful and very relaxing. We had a great time showing off our sweet boy and seeing old friends and family. We really needed more time because we didn't get to see everyone we wanted to. The past 2 weeks have been jam packed for me as I have finished my summer course (submitted my final exam yesterday, yea!). It was a hard one and very intense (most classes last 4 months, but this one was only 2), but I am glad I did it. I think I learned a lot. The next few weeks will be about Billy and I working on our fall class schedule (I did brag on the new Professor of Criminal Justice, Billy M. Lones, JD, right?!) and spending as much time with Cooper as possible. Right now we are all on the front porch and Billy is scraping the porch floor so we can repaint it next weekend. It looks like hard work! :)Well, here are a few pictures (Grandparents, great Grandparents, cousins, and Uncle Drew)...
Today was Cooper's 4 month birthday and it marked 2 big milestones. First, this afternoon Coop put his big toe in his mouth. :) We knew it was coming... he has been playing with his feet for weeks, so we got a big laugh out of his new found flexibility. Second, today he rolled over for the first time from his back to his tummy. I nearly missed it, but the motion of his roll caught my eye and so I got to see him go from his side to his tummy. He was QUICK!!! Unfortunately, Billy was outside stripping the porch (we are doing some home improvement), but we know it will happen again. The "naked" picture is just after he rolled. He knew I was SO proud of him and he smiled for about 20 minutes straight. He was pretty proud of himself. Happy Birthday little man!!!!
