Cooper is ten months old!!!
Wow, I can't believe in two short months, I will have a one year old little boy. I'll be a mommy to not one, but two terrible toddlers! Oh what joy! As Cher would say "If I could try back time..." - man they don't stay small for long. I'm so excited that my babies are growing up, but I'm so sad at the same time. It just means that one day they'll leave me. :(
Cooper is a pro at standing and he's starting to cruise along the furniture now. I'm just waiting for the day when he takes off walking. If only my video camera wasn't broke. Poor Cooper isn't going to have any milestones videoed at this rate. Oh, the joys of being the second child.....I can so relate!
I hope everyone has a happy and safe 4th of July! I'm not sure what we'll be doing yet - but it will probably involve the pool. Maybe I can work on my tan!

Work vs School
Last night as I desperately tried to get Olivia to bed, she asked me if we could play pretend. So here's that conversation.
Olivia: Mommy, say you're going to school.
Me: I'm going to school.
Olivia: Ok Mommy, now you be good and go eat some grits.
Me: Ok, I love grits.
Olivia: I've got to go to work now Mommy, you stay here at school and play.
Me: Ok, I would love to eat grits and play all day!
It's so funny because this is exactly the conversation I have with her every single morning at daycare. Oh, and her new thing is to wear the same color shirt as I'm wearing. Awww - as my mom says "imitation is the greatest form of flattery!"
Have I mentioned how much I love this age?
Olivia: Mommy, say you're going to school.

Olivia and her ex
Here is a picture of Olivia and her ex-husband Caleb. It always makes me laugh because it looks like they are fighting and Olivia is like "oh no you didn't!"
Dora aka Chucky
Everyone remember the movies Child's Play with the Chucky doll right? Well, I think Olivia has one of those!
Ok, so Olivia has 500 talking Dora dolls - but this one in particular was programmed to say her name, know her birthday, say her friend's names, etc. And I promise you, every single time I'm alone in the house, this doll will start talking! So last night I had the doll on the floor while I was trying to get Olivia to sleep. She said she needed to go potty, so off she went. As soon as she left, the stupid doll said (and I swear it was in a sinister voice) "It's bedtime!" I couldn't get out that bed and out of that room fast enough. That doll just totally freaks me out!
On another note, Cooper has cut his two top middle teeth. My poor little man was running fever all weekend. :( He finally acts like he feels better now though. It won't be long before he's got a mouth full of teeth.
I think I'll let him chew on Dora the Evil Doll!

What happened to....
Olivia telling me to grow down? She told me last night that she didn't want to be my baby girl anymore, that she wanted to grow up. And according to her, when she turns 5 years old, she'll be grown! I know she has a limited understanding of growing up, but I just wish she wouldn't rush it!
She also keeps asking me if she can have things for when she has a baby. For example, I had Cooper in his float in the pool and she asked me if she could have that float for her baby when she had one. And I was like "yeah Olivia, you can have this float in 20 plus (big plus!) years when you have a baby". *Sigh* Why is my little girl growing up? Why can't she stay a wild 3 year old forever and ever?
Speaking of growing up too fast....Cooper can now pull up and stand up on his own. Ok, I am seriously going to cry now! He's getting more independent every day. I'll have a walker on my hands before long. WWWWHHHHHAAAAAA!!!!!

Deal or No Deal?
You would think my daughter was the biggest fan of the show Deal or No Deal here lately. Honestly, I can't stand the show and I hope the contestant chooses the wrong brief case! I know, I'm mean....but that's another blog.
Anyways, Olivia's new thing is "Do we have a deal?" Maybe she'll make a great negotiator one day, I don't know but it's working now. This morning on the way to school she told me that she wanted to play in her pool this afternoon (forget that we have a tropical storm coming through) and that she would be a good girl if I would let her. I told her I would if she behaved today. She then promptly asked me, "So we have a deal Mommy?" Hmmm...yeah Olivia I guess so. I looked in the rear view mirror just to make sure she didn't have any sort of evil look on her face. She didn't but something just wasn't right.....Why do I feel like I just sold my soul to the devil?

Newest Addition
If your an avid reader of my blog, you know my cousin Keisha was the one that told me that I should start one so she could keep up with all the crazy things Olivia and Cooper were doing. WEEELLLL.....Keisha welcomed in her own little bundle of joy on June 8, 2006!
Isn't she just a beautiful baby? Madeline Kaye was born at 11:21 am in Charleston, SC. She weighed 8lbs and was 20 inches long. Congrats Keisha and Ashley! Guess Keisha will have to start her own blog all about Baby Madeline.

Growing up with Super Powers
Cooper had his 9 month check up yesterday. He weighs in at 17 pounds and is 27 1/2 inches long! He's my long, lean little man! Al said he did great and that Dr. T played with him and commented on how happy he was. :) I still can't believe my little fella is going to be one year old soon. *sniffle*
So, on to a ha ha story?
As I was taking the kids to daycare this morning, I got stopped at the red light. Olivia waited patiently for a few seconds and the screamed "TURN GREEN LIGHT, TURN GREEN!" and sure enough, the light turned green! Now, I *know* there's nothing to this, but my daughter now believes she has super powers. What are they you ask? To turn all red lights to green lights of course! Like duh!
Oh, and Cooper doesn't have any super powers because he's just a baby! Ha!

Chicken Drops
I have no idea where Olivia comes up with some of the things that come out of her mouth! When I picked her up from daycare yesterday, she informed me that her friend Lauren (not to be confused with her cousin Loren) was not at school.
OGG: MOMMY!
Me: Olivia!
OGG: Lauren wasn't at school today Mommy.
Me: She wasn't? Why not?
OGG: She sick.
Me: She was.
OGG: Yeap.
Me: *waiting* Well, what was she sick from?
OGG: Chicken drops! She's got chicken drops!
How funny is that! I assume she meant she had chicken pox! I know Lauren probably didn't have chicken pox and that she picked that up at daycare. She is too smart.
Also, once I think I've heard the last of Rocky, she brings him up again! UGH! I really don't want to have to resort to telling my 3 year old that Rocky died in battle, but I just may have too. This kid doesn't forget a thing!
