And She Smiles!

Spider Man, Spider Man, Does Whatever a Spider Can...

For Halloween, Cooper chose to be Spider Man. The best part, in my opinion, is the Nacho Libre style mask.

The Pumpkin Patch

Last weekend we visited a pumpkin patch (well, the kind of pumpkin patch available to us in Florida - a church parking lot!), and had a great time picking out pumpkins with Aunt Heather and Uncle JR. I think Aunt Heather has more pictures... I had a little trouble (and I think this could be the story of our lives for a while) trying to hold Chloe, give her a bottle, change positions when she got fussy, and take pictures... Whew!

Chloe playing Dress Up

My mom saved several outfits of Heather's and mine, and we've been able to play dress up a bit with Chloe in our old clothes!

Hatching Butterflies

Jason found a butterfly habitat and decided the time was right for hatching some butterflies! Clearly, we didn't have enough to do at our house...

Cooper had a blast learning how caterpillars spin their cocoons and turn into chrysalids (or "kris-lits"), and then hatch to become "bootiful buh-er-flies!" Here are some photos of our release party:

Cooper having fun with Mimi and Pop Pop

Trying to do our best to combat any jealousy or resentment to Chloe getting all the attention, Cooper got to hang out with Mimi and Pop Pop at Disney World!

Who's Who??

Cooper

Chloe

Think these two might be related? This was one of the gender neutral outfits we saved for Chloe, and it's so fun to see how they compare! Watching Chloe is like turning back the clock to when Cooper was brand new - how fun it is to experience again, but in a whole new way!
