visit with brooke and cooper's buddy liam

my good friend brooke and her little boy liam, who is 3 months older than cooper, met up at the mall to visit santa and just have a bit of a shopping/playdate. the boys did so good while the mommies did some christmas shopping...here we are in the food court getting some lunch

cooper needed a bit of a nap....he was all dressed up to see santa for the first time.....little outfit from auntie mer and adorable boots from susan morris

look st those rosy cheeks....

pretty blue eyes....

Thanksgiving in CT

we were so thrilled to have my family (except for my brother michael who unfortunately had to work) here in CT with us to celebrate thanksgiving. my mom made an amazing meal and we soooo enjoyed time together.

mmmmmmm...thanksgiving goodies

cooper not a happy camper in this one.....it was time for him to eat

this was cooper's first time sitting in his booster seat...he's such a strong little guy and sat up perfectly so he was able to be with us at the table

such a happy baby...he had his first try of some sweet potatoes...he' s still just nursing

special time with uncle phill

how freaking sweet is that
