It occured to me today how little I blog these days. Anyone who knows me should know it is not from lack of things to chat about ;) Regardless, I will do my best to be more diligent in keeping up with the 'happenings' of the Beardmores.
Chase got his first haircut this morning. I'll say it wasn't what I wanted to do, but I've been prompted by Bapa, friends and many other peanut gallery commentors. Alas, the spiking in his lil' eyeballs was really bothering him. So in his honor I'm posting before and after shots... Ryan says he can't tell the difference between them. Probably because in the before I swiped his hair to the side and in the after it's not swiped, but much shorter... so i'll give him that, it does look pretty much the same. I can attest that it is indeed shorter and no longer stabbing him in the eyeballs. His pics look a little strange because he's grinding his teeth... I know, terrible terrible terrible... but what can I do? Cooper did it too... it's just a very new realization to the teeth in his mouth I guess. This too shall pass, right? (The top photo is after and the bottom is the before, just in case you too needed prompting as to which is which-)
Chase never really took to full on 'stereotypical' crawling. Still with the army crawl and knee scooting. What-ever! He certainly does get into everything, pulls himself up on the mixer, the tupperware drawer, the coffee table and just about anything he can get leverage on. Next up... the stairs... Aaaaggggghhhh! Baby gate time!
We've been enjoying a few nice days here and there. Cooper is so hypnotized with mowing the lawn, watering the flowers and tools it's unbelievable! You almost have to see his transformation from indoor Cooper to outdoor Cooper; it's like yin and yang I swear it. Chase also likes to get some fresh air. I have to laugh when the sliding glass door is left ajar, it'll take about 2 seconds for him to realize it and we have ourselves an escaped infant... see pictures for details.
Cooper is getting to be such a big boy. He is very ... sharp. In the interest of not getting in trouble, if he knows he's on the verge, he'll just bat his lil' eyes and say "Mommy's a pretty girl..." and then wait for my reaction. Inevitably, he is no longer in trouble, i'm thoroughly worked over and kissing his cute and precious lil' head. Then 5 seconds later, he's back to challenging me, repeating what I say like "don't tell me no" and this pretty mommy is having the upper hand! Regardless, I've enjoyed our power struggles, play time on the carpet and fort building on the couch. Brushing teeth has become interesting since he wants to purse his lips together like he's whistling once the toothbrush is in his mouth- kinda tough to really scrub those teeth like that...again... What-ever!
Some how, I was able to schedule something (unintentionally I might add) almost everyday in the month of April. I have to look back on each week and remind myself that I did in fact complete all my tasks and 'to-do' lists. I feel like Cooper is getting the short end of that stick because we had been working on potty training briefly and had to kind of give up the diligence because I ran out of time to commit to it. Come May, it is full speed ahead for us in that endeavor... wish us luck.
Hope all is well with you and your camp. Enjoy the pics!
Ciao for now-
AMBER

I can tell the difference in Chase's hair but only because you described it. I think he looks a lot like you in the before pic--am I the only one who sees it?? :)
