Socks the Monkey

We finally have something that Copeland loves to sleep with and carry around. It is his sock monkey "Socks", that his gammie and g gave him. This morning was one of those times I wish I had been videoing getting Copeland out of bed. He slept for 11 1/2 hours and then work up very happy. I love those morningings!!!! I walk in and he's standing up in his crib "Socks" in hand and he's just smiling and talking away! I love being a mommy!

Ready or Not!!!

Ready or not here comes school! I must say I do love my job, and I would not trade it for anything in the world. I'm just so sad that summer has to come to an end and I have to spend the day away from Copeland. I enjoy spending the day with my little guy and playing!!! Too bad that job doesn't pay :). I know once we are back at work then things get so busy and the time goes by pretty fast. We are going to enjoy the last few days we have before things get busy!!!!!

My First Post!!!! Summer Time!

Summer is here and we are enjoying the last week! Copeland has grown so much and is into everything. Here is a quick recap of this summers events thus far!

• Went to New Smyrna Beach June 7-14! Had a blast, but realized Copeland is not a travel baby. Drove during nap and bedtime so it made it much easier on everyone. Copeland we now know loves to eat and play with sand, and only likes water if it's the amount of his bathtub.
  


• Two haircuts have come and gone for our little man. His hair grows so fast!!! He loves the little place we got to because it has a car he can sit in while he watches a movie and eats animal crackers! Whoever thought of that was a genious!

• Copeland almost has three teeth all the way in. The two bottom ones have been in for a while but the top is getting there.
  


• We have been pacifier free for most of the summer. Of course I waited until after the vacation to start that one.
  


• We do not have anymore bottles! Sad for momma, but I'm glad it was an easy transition!
  


• Copeland had his baby dedication at church on Father's Day. Both grandparents, aunts, uncle, and cousin were able to make it for this special occasion.
  


• We have had fun at a new park not too far from the house. A few weeks ago with our friend Annabelle and her mommy were able to join us for some playtime and lunch.
  


• Copeland attended his first vacation bible school while mommy volunteered with the pre-k kids. He had a blast and was able to spend the week with 5 other boys his age, and his teacher was the same from his Sunday School Class. We have a picture collage and a certificate to show what a fun week he had!
  


• Copeland has taken his first steps. I'm so happy this happened before I have to go back to work!!! He is now showing off all his new skills!!!
  


• He can now feed himself with a spoon.
  


• Copeland has been able to spend time playing with all his little friends born days and weeks from his birthday as well as meet a few new friends that were born in the past few months.

(Copeland, Annabelle, Payton, and Jackson in the middle!)

• We've had fun at Mamaw and Papaw's house a good bit this summer as well! Copeland loves to see how much stuff he can get into over there!!!
