Blizzards, Potty Training, and life with a 22 month old!

So what have we been up to these days?  Will give you a few highlights today, since I realize I have a lot to cover since last time.  Currently, Coop is getting over a cold and Andy and I have now caught it. So I am sitting in bed right now with Vick's vapor rub and a nasal breath right strip on my nose.  Not fun, but just a part of these winter months I guess. I am now 28 weeks and officially have entered the 3rd trimester!  Time sure flies, can't believe we are just a few short months away from meeting our baby girl ;).  For the most part I am feeling good, some headaches and minor aches and pains, nothing worth complaining about.  I can definitely say by the end of the day I am sore and ready to put my feet up, whether I have spend the day at work or chasing the litte man around.  Coop is keeping Andy and I both on our toes.  As you will see from the pictures below, he is always into something, but gotta love him for his curioustiy and wonder at the small things in our big world.

Potty Training !  Or "practicing" as we like to call it. 
He seems to do it a lot at daycare (or so they tell me), so at home we have been trying it some too.  I don't think he quite knows yet when he has to go, however everytime I do sit him on it, something comes out!  Both to me and I think Coop's surprise (and delight).  He has learned after he goes to take out the orange top part and dump the pee in the toilet, although yesterday he went to do it and the lid on the toilet was still down.  Ooops.  You can guess what happened I am sure, pee splattered everywhere.....walls, floor, toilet seat, etc.  I was only two feet away but just couldn't get up off the floor fast enough to stop him!!


Snowblowing with dad.  Coop was amazed!  And yes poor Andy did half the driveway with Coop up on top his shoulders.  Cooper looked frozen but everythime I asked him if he was cold, he said No!



Working out with dad.  Those Insanity videos are tough, Coop looks like he taking a break here!



Some quality time with Gigi and Grandpa Wayne. 

Coop's new obsession, Yo Gabba Gabba videos and his cool new headphones.  Let me tell you, Andy and I were holding off on it for the longest time, but this was a lifesaver on our last plane trip!

Bundling up for a walk outside with mom

Giving some (unwanted) help to the boys.  Coop LOVES "daddy's tools".

Got in a little bit of swimming on our trip to Florida with Gigi and Wayne.  You can't tell but I am freezing in this picture, while Coop didn't even seem to mind that it was quite warm enough to swim.  Little fish ;)
