First Day of School

We are now in our second full week of school for Cade and Carter and they are doing such a great job already!  Cade is in Mrs. Kaze's first grade class and Carter is in Mrs. Brocka's AM Kindergarten class. The pictures above are from their respective first days of school (Cade began two days before Carter).  It'll be fun to compare how they write their names from year to year, as I attempt to take the name picture annually.

First Steps

The day before his 13 month birthday, Cooper took his first unassisted steps!  Thankfully, Nanny and Papa were here to see it too.  We had just finished Sunday dinner and Cooper was playing in the living room.  We were all watching him since he's really the cutest baby ever (No bias there, right?).  All it took was a few seconds and he was up on his feet, taking a few steps on his own.  Perfect!  I called Keith, who was in the basement with his Bible Study group, to come watch.  He saw several attempts, but Cooper couldn't step as he had just a few minutes earlier.  And so it begins- we have a walker!

P.S.  In other exciting news, Cooper got his 7th tooth on Saturday, August 25!
