The time just keeps flying by and we can't wait for spring! The weather has been in the 40's all week so some of our snow is finally starting to melt. Cooper

is doing fantastic and continuing to grow like crazy. He has now started to eat puff cereal all on his own! He is also getting 3 teeth!!!! They are all on the top and I think only 1 has broken all the way through the gums but he seems to be handling the pain pretty well. We definitely can't leave home without a bib since the little guy is drooling like crazy. He's also becoming much more vocal; often babbling away to anyone that will listen. Ma, ba and aboo seem to be the favs right now, but we're working on getting Dada into the vocabulary ; )

Cooper will make is first trip to the MN Zoo tomorrow morning. I'll make sure to post some pics of the big event. Cooper will also be taking his first vacation in 2 weeks. We'll be going to AZ with my parent's and sister. We are really looking forward to the trip but of course am already nervous about the plane ride. That will definitely be an adventure we'll make sure to document with lots of photos ; )

On a side note, we have found a new house. Our realtor suggested a house to us on the northeast side of Eden Prairie. We went to see it the first day it was on the market and made an offer that night! We will close the middle of May and it honestly can't come soon enough. We love the house we have now but are so looking forward to more space and more bathrooms!

Hope you all are enjoying the sunshine as much as we are!

Take care,

Beth
