This last week was pretty exciting. Cooper is growing fast. He is holding his head up pretty well. He will grab things that touch his hand like fingers, clothes, toys, eyeballs... We put the "newborn" sized clothes away this week. (sigh) I suppose a month and a half in in little teeny clothes is a pretty long time for most babies, but I just with they could stay tiny forever.
These next pictures are a little montage I like to call "Sunday with Sam"
Cooper likes to look at the light, or at my hair, or anywhere but at me.
For family night we played a game I found on Pinterest. I don't remember the name but the idea is that you fill a tea cup with flour, tip it upside down. pull the cup off and put a candy on top of the flour. Then with a butter knife take turns slicing away some of the flour. If you make the candy fall when it is your turn to slice, then you have to fish the candy out of the flour only using your mouth. :)
We started by using Andie Mints, but they were two easy to get out of the flour, so we switched to using 2 skittles - 2 so you had to put your face in the flour TWICE!
It was AWESOME!
(I don't have a normal picture of Moey this week. This is one that Halle took.)
Moey had a fun week. On Tuesday her class got to go Skiing at Solitude. And yes, it was below 10 degrees all week long. Then on Wednesday she had a 'Battle of the Books' meeting at school. They had a drawing and she won the first Michael Vey book! Battle of the Books is a new program they are doing in our school this year. Any student who wants to participate is put a team and they are given a list of 20 books to read - as a team. In March they will have a have a quiz show type "battle" answering questions about the books. There are 4 girls on her team. They all decided that they would read all 20 books each. 20 books in 6 months! I told them they should try for 10. With out any prodding from me, she has already read 16.
On Sunday. Dave and I were called to works with the Bears in Cub scouts. Thursday was pack meeting. It was a magic show. Everyone was invited to prepare a magic trick. So Gavin and I prepared a few tricks. First we made a quarter disappear using a magic paper. Then my scarf started to bother me and Gavin helped by pulling the scarf off. He pulled on both ends looking like it would choke me. We got on audible gasp as the scarf popped off my neck! Gavin was so adorable. I asked him to help me with my scarf and his eyes brightened and twinkled and his smile was huge with excitement. Don't tell him I called him adorable. Lastly we practiced our levitation. We didn't get a picture of the actually levitating, but gavin is under the blanket, and he levitated. Dave said it looked pretty cool, I guess you will have to take his word for it.
