The time has come! I have made it over a year with two blogs for both kids, but it has taken quite a bit to keep both updated. I wanted to create a separate book for Cooper, detailing his first year and now it is time to combine the two. Hop on over to check out our new "family" blog.

We are SO proud of Josh! He got a call Thursday night from all of the equity shareholders at his firm announcing that he had just been voted in as PARTNER!! Josh has worked so hard for this and deserves every bit of it! I honestly do not know anyone else who deserves it more! </div>

Josh had me review his memo to the partners and it really made me honor being his wife! In the first paragraph of the write up he mentioned his family and that first and foremost he is a husband and father and he works so hard for his amazing family! Josh works a lot, but makes sure to be at every important event and always puts us first. He tries so hard to not work at night and always be home on the weekends. We celebrated the evening with some champagne!</div>

March was such a busy month for us and I honestly can not believe that it is over! We started things off with Grami coming to visit on March 1st. This is her annual "tax season" trip to get away for a little while during the time that my dad is swamped, but this year it was extra special because it was Cooper's birthday! We started off the visit with a trip to Canton for First Monday. I have been in Texas for quite a while, but never been so we finally planned a time where she would be here for the first weekend of the month. We had a great time and found a lot of treasures! Too many, in fact, that they did not fit in our car! :)</div>

Cooper had a big day on his actual BIRTH day! Daddy took the day off of work and we got the day started right! We had pancakes for breakfast and Caroline made sure we sang Happy Birthday again.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9kXFACF06DHdTVQ-U0_n0E3Bk4Qi_CLZ7bIVosNXXMXzTuqh060XUR2EewgaBJu-1yg4rH02pc76DtWGqKo-RlY56CR67grhBjnyA14oMjS8ePvntLsezlF4zze4iQ4QTzfN7yTReIGiU/s1600/DSC_0831.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9kXFACF06DHdTVQ-U0_n0E3Bk4Qi_CLZ7bIVosNXXMXzTuqh060XUR2EewgaBJu-1yg4rH02pc76DtWGqKo-RlY56CR67grhBjnyA14oMjS8ePvntLsezlF4zze4iQ4QTzfN7yTReIGiU/s640/DSC_0831.jpg" width="424" /></a></div>

Wow!! 12 months old!! We have made it! I'm really not sure why I have put off writing this post, but there are always the normal excuses and then there is a part of me that really just does not believe it. Looking at Cooper you clearly see that he is not a baby! Everything about him screams little boy and sometimes I just refuse to see it. However I am excited for him to grow up and experience him in his new stages! We had his 12 month check up last week and his percentages have changed a little bit:</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>weight: 22 lbs. 15 ounces (50th percentile)</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>height: 30.5 inches (70th percentile)</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>head circumference: 48 cm (98th percentile)</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We always refer to Cooper as such a big boy, but he has dropped down in weight and is really average. It is just so much different than Caroline and it is hard not to compare. His adorable {<i>little</i>} head is still up there in size and shows just how smart he is going to be! :)</div>

My sweet sweet boy! I know I continue to say it, but this boy just has a kind and gentle spirit. He can throw a tantrum with the best of them, but there is just something about how calm and all together sweet he is. He has developed a bit of stranger anxiety and prefers his mom quite often. There have been many times that we have been paged during church to come and pick him up because he just will not calm down. He knows what he wants and will not give up! I have to say that, although sometimes frustrating, I do love this about him and wouldn't have it any other way! If he's tired, I can say to him "Just lay your head down" and he will and just cuddle. I absolutely love it! He does not give kisses out freely, so I will take what I can get!</div>

Cooper is a great sleeper at night and goes down around 7:15pm and wakes up around 7:30am. Every night it is the same thing. He gets tired and gets upset right before we put him down. We pretty much do the same routine every night and he knows what's coming. We take baths, get pajamas on and brush teeth, then read a book and lastly pray. We usually do all of this in his room and then Caroline gets to stay up until 8. The second Josh says, "Okay, let's pray", like clockwork, Cooper begins to cry. It actually has become pretty funny! And because he doesn't use anything to pacify himself, he almost needs it to go to sleep. But he will usually only cry for a couple seconds and then go right to sleep. His favorite sleeping position is with his stuffed animals directly across his face! He has gone down to only one nap per day and sleeps around an hour and a half. This is something I am going to have to get used to because I have always had, and still do, 2 or 3 hours of down time with Caroline. The one good thing is that their naps have started to overlap some and I have started to have a little time to myself.</div>

We have continued therapy with Cooper and he has been doing great! He is full out army crawling and can get across the room pretty quickly! We play on our knees quite a bit and he is getting stronger every day. His desire to move has increased and he has started to want to be right where the action is... usually right by Caroline! Boy is her world about to change!! Just in the last couple of days I have heard a lot of "No Cooper! That's mine!" We will have to start working on sharing a whole lot more! His favorite thing seems to be opening and shutting doors and crawling to any open ones.<br />
<br />
Cooper's eating habits have stayed about the same and he continues to eat quite a bit for each meal. He definitely prefers meat over anything else and it takes several tries for him to eat vegetables. He is not a big fruit fan and normally just leaves these on his plate, however oranges are definitely his favorite thing! Just in the past 2 days we have stopped nursing all together and he has done well with drinking milk. He is a pro at a sippy cup and has drank out of all kinds. He surprised me about a month ago and just started drinking out of a straw the first time I ever gave him one. He will drink out of straws at restaurants and loves feeling so big.<br />
<br />
Cooper still isn't saying a whole lot and normally we just get a whole lot of Dada. He can say Mama too and this usually comes out when he's mad or really wants something. There really are no other recognizable words that he says, but occasionally he will sign more or all done. <br />

The top of Cooper's 1 year old molars popped through last week and have come through quite a bit! He sure has one mouth full of teeth, currently totally 10!!<br />
<br />
Again, life just would not be the same with out this little boy! I can't wait to experience him and Caroline running through the house together and playing by themselves. It truly is special to watch a bond between siblings as they learn to lean on one another. Happy 12 months Coopster! We love you!<br />

And finally, no more onesie pictures!! :) I did this all twelve months with Caroline and made a point to do it with Cooper. However he outgrew the onesie early on and really just looked silly. But it is still so much fun to look back and compare!</div>

We celebrated Cooper's birthday on March 10th with a small party. We used the theme "C is for Cooper" and centered the party around milk and cookies! Grami, Aunt Mimi, Emma and Ellie all came to celebrate and were a huge help with the party, making sure everything was so special! Unfortunately Cooper got sick and just did not feel well. He was a good sport, but ended up sleeping through about half of the party. I think everyone else had a good time enjoying some cookies and sweet treats! We are truly honored to be this little boy's parents and just can not believe that an entire year has passed!!</div>

{Caroline decided way before the party that instead of cookie monster, she wanted to dress up like Elmo. I made her her own special Elmo hat to wear instead. Hence the reason why this is the only trace of Elmo at the party. Oh Caroline!}</div>

Of course the day of the party, it was rainy and cold! We had a lot of outdoor activities planned, but nothing for inside. Being the great dad that he is, Josh ran out right before and picked up some games. He got a hot potato game that was pretty funny watching the kids play. </div>

You can't expect much from kids 3 and under, but it was good for a laugh! While Emma ran away because she isn't supposed to touch "hot" things, Tristan pretty much dominated the game.</div>

Believe it or not, Cooper woke up, after everyone had left, HAPPY! I'm not sure what was wrong with him, but he was ready to go after his nap. I was so relieved to see this smiling face! He was really excited and loved opening his presents! He was really into it and had quite a bit of help from his sister and cousins. Thank you to everyone who was able to celebrate this little guy with us and shower him with gifts. </div>

He squealed with delight and as Josh walked in the door he said "Da Da"!! He has been babbling dadada for a while, but it was never really directed toward anything. This was not only a clear word, but was Cooper's FIRST word! What a fun moment and definitely a sweet one. What better word to say first? He sure has one amazing Da Da!!The Botts Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00976529069274769468noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7205861755281493480.post-57254184352971305352012-03-02T14:04:00.001-08:002012-03-02T14:04:10.487-08:00Park Days<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;">The weather has been so nice lately and it has been great to be able to get out and go to the park!! Caroline has been sick and we were stuck inside for several days in a row. So the other morning around 9am, before Cooper went down for a nap, we took a walk to the park. Cooper can sit in the wagon so well now and the two of them love riding together. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;">Cooper is my little model! Although it was hard to get him to look into the sun, he is perfect because he enjoys just sitting there! It's a little difficult to keep him from eating wood chips at the park, but other than that he loves to watch the older kids play.</span></div>

Well, my little boy is growing and changing faster than I can type! He turned 11 months a couple weeks ago and I just can't believe that he will be a 1 year old in just a few short weeks! He is still such a happy baby and content with almost anything. He loves eating and still cares mostly for meats. He will eat vegetables if you continuously give them to him and make him try them more than once. We are pretty much completely off of puree baby food and I have just started giving him whole milk in a sippy cup. He doesn't seem to hate it, but doesn't drink a lot of it at once. He really plays with the cup more than anything else. He is not far behind his sister's weight and is somewhere around 23 pounds I would say. So far he has not said any words, but lately has started babbling quite a bit more! He will blow kisses and play peek-a-boo over and over and over! However his favorite game is to drop things off of his highchair and watch Mommy pick them up.<br />

We have had a little set back this month with development. Cooper was pretty sick in the beginning of January and so I took him to the doctor. I casually asked when an infant should start being able to get into the sitting position from laying down on their own. The doctor said it should happen by 8 months and that she was a little worried he wasn't doing it. Well, we ended up calling ECI (early childhood intervention) and they came out to evaluate him. I have to admit it was a little scary calling them and actually saying out loud that we thought something might be wrong. They came and said that they did think his development was delayed and he would be able to be enrolled in the program. This was most likely caused by several things: Cooper not liking to be on his tummy and us not putting him on it enough... his laid back personality and being completely content just sitting wherever he may be... and low muscle tone. The muscle tone is just how you are born and something you have no control over. Wouldn't you know it that his daddy was not going to just let that be it! He came home that night with detailed exercises that we needed to do and a way to get him moving! At the beginning Cooper was hardly even rolling. After just 4 short days of exercises we noticed a difference and Cooper was rolling across the room!! Since then we have had 2 therapy appointments and the therapist has given us different activities to work on with him. What a change! Cooper is ready to move and I think really just <i>noticed</i> he can! We're not sure how long the therapy will continue, but we hope to have this boy crawling soon!</div>

Cooper is now 10 months old!! It makes me sad to think that an entire year has almost gone by! Everything has happened so quickly and gone by in the blink of an eye. I am just ready for time to slow down! Will that ever happen? :) Days have gotten so much fun with our little Coop and his personality is just blossoming. He has such a sweet disposition and seems to always be smiling. He's pretty content with whatever we are doing as long as he is not hungry and you're not putting him down for a nap. He is still nursing and eating quite a bit, however he prefers meat over ANYTHING else and will eat baby food vegetables, but doesn't exactly like them in regular form. He is ALL boy and his favorite toy is a ball. He will sit and play catch for quite a while and is already showing a preference for his right hand. One of his favorite Christmas presents was a little basketball hoop with two balls. I can sit him in front of it and he will "shoot" the balls through the hoop over and over. Daddy is so proud!<br />

Cooper hasn't quite figured out how to crawl, but he is getting close! I can't quite decide if I would rather him start or stay how he is. Of course I want him to do it and not be so frustrated, but selfishly it is kind of nice that he isn't all over the place. He will flip himself on his stomach and has rocked backwards several times. He has started becoming interested in toys that are out of his reach and can pretty much do what he needs to in order to get it. He will stretch, roll and reach to get to whatever he can! He still loves to grab Caroline's hair the most and will jump on her any chance he gets!! Caroline hasn't grasped the concept that he is still just a baby and this is what baby's do. The big sister in her has to yell and tell him "no"! Sometimes she gets upset, but most of the time she will give him a giant hug and say "Cooper is my best friend in the whole wide world!". It really is so sweet and they both get excited to see each other every morning.<br />

Cooper is weighing in at somewhere around 22 pounds and wearing 12 month clothes. He still is in size 4 diapers and has those sweet chubby cheeks! He has taken more of an interest in tv and lights up when the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse theme song comes on.<br />

We had quite the surprise on Christmas morning... Santa Claus came and visited!! He was so concerned that the kids would think he forgot about them and wanted to make sure to tell them he had filled their stockings and left presents for them both in Pennsylvania and in Texas, so he made an extra stop to the house. What a treat!</div>

"All these presents are for me?" I think everyone was so excited to buy BOY gifts, that they went a little overboard. But we are so happy to report that we now have quite a few more toys that are not pink!</div>

These kiddos are so lucky! They have quite a few Great Grandparents and we were lucky enough to visit GREAT Grandpa and Grandma Green on Christmas Eve. After church we headed over to their new apartment and got to spend a little time before the busy-ness of Christmas began. It was such a nice time. Now getting all four children {as well as grown ups} looking is quite the challenge! We had many takes!</div>

Our Christmas festivities started off by celebrating with Grandmother and PaPaw. Unfortunately Grandmother was in the hospital, but we did not let that stop us! We took the party to her! Nanny and LC were there too and we all enjoyed watching everyone open presents. We were so thankful that Grandmother felt well and could have us all in her room.</div>

Well here we are... 9 months and growing SO quickly! We have been busy this month with a lot of Thanksgiving and Christmas festivities. It has gone by fast and here we are just days away from Cooper's first Christmas! We had Cooper's 9 month check up last week and found out that we have one healthy little boy on our hands! He had to have his finger pricked to check his iron and he barely flinched! I was so surprised. The shots hurt him just a little bit more, but the crying did not last long at all.<br />

Cooper has now gotten to the point where I can put him down and he'll play with something for a little while at a time. He still likes to be held quite a bit, but will play with the jungle/ball toy for quite a while trying to just "figure it all out". Every night at bath time his mission is the same: Get Harvey the Hippo. He will try the entire time to grab him and its always the same toy. Can we say FOCUSED?? I think we all know who he gets this trait from! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Just recently Cooper has started rolling quite a bit. He is right on the verge of MOVING! He rolled over and over continuously about 5 times yesterday just to move to grab some toys. This is a first! He hasn't done it a lot, but he is fully capable of moving. He is also realizing that he wants to get closer to his toys or get somewhere else in the room. He'll start scooting forward on his hands while still sitting. I'm not sure if I'm ready for two mobile ones yet... but it is exciting that he is trying! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We have mastered eating just about all foods and I am not worried about really giving him anything. Caroline has started to take an interest in feeding him and will scoot a chair up to his highchair and "help". She'll say "I think Cooper needs his puffs." Then she will pour them on his tray and I'll catch her eating them faster than he can even grab. She sure has her motives, but always takes pride in being a great Big Sister!</div>

We can't wait to head to Colorado and enjoy Christmas with a little snow! So far the roads between here and there are quite snowy and we are hoping for a safe drive. Please pray for safe travels!!<br />

Wow! Santa Claus made an extra special visit to Daddy's office for all of the Munsch Hardt kids!! Caroline and Cooper had a great time! They even got special signed copies of The Night Before Christmas book. It was a fun afternoon with Santa, cookies and hanging out at Daddy's office!<br />

Well Cooper already has his two front teeth, so I'm not quite sure what he asked Santa for, but he sure did well!! He didn't mind sitting on this strange man's lap and really just took it all in. Caroline and Cooper sat fairly still while I was able to snap several pictures! We just can not wait for Christmas to come and are getting ready! It will be here soon!<br />

Not only was this Cooper's first Thanksgiving, but it was also his first trip to Newton! Josh's grandmother, Nanny, lives there along with some of his cousins and every year Nanny does a great job hosting everyone. We had such a wonderful time visiting with everyone and introducing them to our new little man.<br />

I tried to get some cute pictures of Cooper outside {minus his sweater} but he was too focused on the football game. </div>

Aunt Rosemary took the kids for rides on the golf cart. Everything was fine and dandy while they were going slow. However, I didn't crop this picture to explain what <i>really</i> happened! With a full cart, everyone was having fun when Caroline got excited and walked across the front. Well she actually stepped on the gas pedal and everyone watched, in what seemed like slow motion, while the golf cart drove directly into the wagon pictured in the background below. The cart crashed and everyone was startled just a bit. It could have been a lot worse, but everyone was okay. Thank goodness!<br />

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Several weekends ago we ventured to Austin and then to Kerrville for Josh's cousin Collin's wedding. We were able to stay with his dad for a night and all went to the wedding together. It was quite the whirlwind of a weekend, but so fun to see everyone and get to introduce them to Cooper. We were a little leery on how they would do at a 2 o'clock wedding after a 2 hour drive and no nap. But both kids did pretty well. Unfortunately Josh had to sit with Cooper outside of the sanctuary for most of the service. He just felt like talking more than watching. :)</div>

I don't even know where to begin and certainly can not tell you where the last eight months have gone! 2011 has definitely {by FAR} been the fastest year of my life and time just continues to tick on by. However, I wouldn't change anything for the world! In what, at times, seems like the most difficult and trying part of our lives, my heart has grown and I could not love this little man anymore than I do now!! Cooper has grown into such a sweet and happy boy who really lights up our world! His smile is so sly and all knowing that it has us laughing quite a bit. It's as if he knows so much more than we do and is basically just saying "really guys?". </div>

The night of November 17th was quite a rough one! Cooper was up most of the night and just did not sleep. He cried from 4am-6am and then Caroline woke up at 6:30. Of course things always seem to happen this way, but I was just not thrilled to say the least. Little did I know at the time, but 2 teeth popped through and Cooper is now sporting the very teeny tips of both of his bottom teeth!! YAY Cooper! I hope we don't go through this every time he gets a tooth, but this is just one more reminder that my little guy is growing up!! </div>

Cooper is rolling a little bit more and really likes to sit and play. I have been able to leave him by himself a little longer with some toys and he will play. This is definitely an improvement! Cooper loves to constantly be held and still does, but it is getting better. We have also been trying several other new things! He has learned to clap and has begun babbling different syllables. Although Josh has already called it his first word and it is not directed at anything, his favorite is definitely Da Da. Cooper has started eating real food and has now had rotisserie chicken, avocados, black beans, broccoli, bananas and sweet potatoes. So far he has loved all of them and is constantly wanting more. He still eats baby food at least twice a day and nurses about every 3 hours. Naps are hit or miss and I do still have to wake him up quite often to take Caroline to her activities so there is no set schedule for him. </div>

These two really love each other! I think Beca loves the fact that she can give him kisses and he "plays" with her, yet he cannot run and chase her or pick her up. And of course he loves all of the attention!</div>The Botts Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00976529069274769468noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7205861755281493480.post-24302170244117561922011-11-18T17:14:00.001-08:002011-11-18T17:14:34.486-08:00little modelsI just love this time of year! We had a fundraiser for the Mom's Club where a photographer took some pictures in a pumpkin patch and the kids were both pretty cooperative. Amazingly, she even got all 4 of us looking at the camera.<br />

Okay, so technically speaking we are now 7 months and 15 days! But really, who's counting?? These days we are having so much fun with our little man and are constantly amazed by how quickly he is growing and how much our lives have changed! He is quite the little love bug! He LOVES to laugh and squeal and when tickled, you can really get him going!! He has the biggest smile and loves to flirt with anyone passing by. Cooper is still proving to be my pretty content little guy, except he now knows exactly what he wants. And if you do not give it to him, he will throw a pretty big temper tantrum! How quicky they learn! Right now he is loving remotes, mum mums and, as always, his Big Sister Caroline!! He demands 3 meals a day of baby food and is still nursing quite a bit He takes 2-3 naps per day and sleeps through most nights with out waking up! Although he is doing really well sleeping, it is still nothing like Caroline. His naps are quite a bit shorter and he cries every time we take him to his room. He just knows that we are about to put him down. Cooper got his first official haircut {not by mom or dad} the weekend he turned 6 months. It made such a difference and he looks like a little man! I can not believe it! He is sitting SO well and this has made things so much easier around the house and has given him a whole new point of view!<br />
<br />
People are always making remarks about how big our little guy is! And yes he is! Just ask me after he has been crying and I have had to carry him around the entire mall while also pushing the stroller. Or when he doesn't feel like sitting in the shopping cart and requires that I carry him while also grabbing groceries. Well, we are guessing Cooper is now somewhere around 20 pounds and still so cute! I pulled out Josh's baby book the other day and was pretty surprised to find that his weight at each major milestone was pretty similar to Cooper's. This boy is built just like his daddy!! <br />

Although I have not had as much time to write about it, we have been having SO much fun lately! Cooper's personality has woken up and we have been so busy! The month of October has been full of fall and Halloween fun and we can't believe time is flying by so quickly! However we are so excited for the upcoming holidays and everything that is entailed!</div>

What an amazing journey we have had!! 4 years and 2 kids later... here we are! My absolute best friend and husband is the man of my dreams! I could never have imagied someone more perfect to be alongside me for this adventure!! We celebrated each other by taking some time for ourselves. Grandpa and Grandma came up for the weekend and stayed with Caroline and Cooper while we relaxed with massages, a wonderful dinne at Five Sixty in Reunion Tower and a night's stay at the Crescent! Who could have asked for more? Well we had a wonderful time!! We both caught something and got pretty sick in the middle of the night so we were not able to enjoy sleeping in. We came home and just did not feel well at all. It helped having people here for the weekend and we would not have made it with out them! THANK YOU GRANDPA DOUG AND GRANDMA KARLA!!</div>
