Santa can be scary
He's still cute though! Gotta have at least one crying picture.
A truck ride made him forget about freaky Santa.

"Merry Christmas, you wonderful ol' Building and Loan!"
It's Chrimmis, and I'm trying to stay in a good mood. Still more shopping to go, but the season is quickly going away, and I don't want it to end! So, whenever I'm in a bad mood, I've tasked Luke to say "Christmas cheer!" and then I have to change my attitude. It's worked so far!
FYI: Extreme Home Makeover is in the Austin area this week, and there are all kinds of comments going around on the radio about how nice/not nice the crew from the show is, where the house is, people wanting to volunteer, etc. It's kinda cool. I couldn't find any pictures of the house being demolished (that's today) but I'll try and find some. It's going to a family who has FIVE autistic children. I can't imagine that. I can't wait to see it on TV! Maybe I should go by there. I might be disappointed, since they say Ty is short. Ha.
Love everyone!

I'm alive, I promise
Sorry I've been so behind on this. It's been a CRAZY few weeks, but I'll do better.
We had a fantastic weekend! Went to the Peeples/Pittman wedding on Sat. night and saw a lot of people I hadn't seen in a long time. Cooper was super tired the entire time, but everyone we knew that babysits for us was at the wedding! Oh well - it was fun. Very pretty wedding as well.
Here's Cooper being attacked by his pudding. What a messy face, and chest, and hair ....
Cooper's growing so much. He's in 18-24 month clothes for the most part, and some 2T. He's so tall! He says a lot of things now (that only I can understand sometimes) like "more please," "big boy," and more. Last night, I sang "A, B, C ..." and he said "D!" I was all "GENIUS!"
The other side of spectrum which hasn't been so fun is the fit-throwing Cooper. Most of the time, when he does that, there's something else wrong - hunger, tired, etc. Sometimes he just goes nuts, we ignore him, and he stops. Hope that's the right thing to do! He doesn't really understand spanking yet, and he's in a diaper, so not as effective. But, he DOES understand a swat on the hand. All in all, he understands "no" and is a pretty good boy. Couldn't ask for more! I just don't wanna screw him up. Anyone have any discipline tips for a 13 month old?
Christmas has come upon us, and the stress level is already rising for me. Anyone think I can finish shopping before Dec. 15? Why not? Don't you believe in me?
