Life lately!

There are just so many things going on lately and I have so many things going on in my head, I don't know or have the time to get it down on paper, or I should say my blog.

Let me start with Cooper, he's such a sweetie. He is getting so big and tomorrow he turns 10 months. He all over the house!! He finally popped a tooth up, I completely forgot to blog it. It happened this past Monday or Tuesday. We've been watching them, yes them, there are 2 that we can see. The one has popped through and I can feel the "rough" edges, the other will be up in the next couple of days. I've tried to get pictures but you know, that's not easy.

Last week Cooper caught some kind of bug, he started throwing up Monday night and didn't stop until Thursday! By Wednesday, I got what he had, it wasn't fun. We were both throwing up and finally decided on Thursday to go to the doctor. I had called Tuesday and they just said to take it easy with food and if he keeps throwing up to call. It seemed like the only times he threw up was after drinking any liquids, including breastmilk! So we tried lots of things, he seemed to keep down toast and crackers so that's pretty much what he lived on for 2 days. I did still breastfeed him in the mornings just to check and sure enough I was washing my sheets again.  It was a long week!! But he's so much better now and getting his appetite back, he even seemed to have lost some weight, poor guy.

He took lots of naps!

 

Once we were both feeling better, Friday, we still stayed home that day. I worked from home and Cooper got his energy back and caught up on playing with all his toys and looking out the windows checking out the squirrels.

 

And he helped Mommy vaccuum, he wanted to be held a lot while being sick so Friday when we were feeling better, I put him in the BJorn because it was just sitting there, and we vaccuumed.

By the weekend we were out and about. We all went to Champs for lunch, including Brandon and Micayla then afterwards they wanted to go bowling so off to Creslanes we went. Cooper had fun playing with the ball keeper and sitting on the swivel chairs.

The fan was blowing up and blowing Cooper's hair, it was so funny.

Here is just a random picture of Coop playing with his new walking toy. He loves it. Look how big my little man is getting!

Tom took this down at the bowling alley where Brandon bowls for school.

Enough about Cooper, I seem to blog about him all the time, not that I mind but some of you might want to know what else is going on with my life and my family, so onto Dad. He's been doing awesome! He goes in tomorrow for another round of Chemo. He says he feels good, he gets tired but he rest when he needs to. He's been having a great appetite and has great spirits! We are still praying hard. The last test came back telling us the Chemo has shrunk some and there are no new spots! So that was some great news! He loves seeing his kids and Grandkids and seems he can't get enough! I try to take lots of pictures when we're up there but Cooper is just not into the picture thing lately, but I did get one last night.

Not sure if everyone knows but my position at McGraw-Hill is being eliminated! We found out about a month ago and we have until March 29th. I am very hopeful that I will find a new position within McGraw-Hill. If I don't I know I'll be OK. It's been very stressful lately, we have been super busy. January is the busiest month of the year and with us knowing we are losing our job, its hard. I have a great team and I know everyone will succeed after this. So this is one reason for the lack of blogging, just too much on my mind and by the time I get Cooper in bed, I"m exhausted and I just don't feel like blogging, but here I am after 10:00 and I feel great to get everything off my chest. Not that I'm complaining but I love writing it.

And one last picture to leave you with! (Look at our hair!)

 

Are we not sexy or what??? We were going through pictures at Grandma's last week looking for pictures of Uncle Bill who suddenly passed away 2 weeks ago tomorrow with a massive heartattack. It was such a shocker and my heart goes out to the Ryan family. Bill was my mom's brother-in-law. Erica, his daughter, and I are pretty close. We are the only 2 girls in the Lynch family, there is Lexi but Erica and I are older and have been pretty close for a long time. I'm glad I was there to help and lend an ear. I know she'd do the same for me.

We will sure miss Bill!
