Busy Weekend

This has been a busy, but very exciting weekend. First of all, we got to meet the newest edition to the family-Rhett Cooper. He was born on Thursday, Sept. 25 and is just adorable! Duke, Christy, and big sister McKenna are all doing great also. He weighed 6lbs., 12oz., which seems small to our Mister, but since McKenna weighed only 2lbs., 7oz. when she was born Rhett really seems big! :) While visiting in KC, Hobbs and McKenna managed to entertain us as usual. Friday night, McKenna got into the cereal (a favorite spot to find a snack) and Hobbs of course followed her. While she was careful to just grab one piece of cereal at a time, Hobbs dumped an entire bag of fruity Cheerios out on the floor and the proceeded to move his legs in the pile as if he was making a snow angel. McKenna just watched, trying to figure out why he was making such a mess in her very clean kitchen. Silly boy! :) Along with meeting Rhett and visiting Aunt Christy, Uncle Duke, and McKenna, Hobbs also played with Grampy, played with and slept on Grandpa and Grandma (they too wanted to meet Rhett and then went to the K-State game with us), and play with Leah during the game-thanks Yeeyah, you're a lifesaver! :) It has been a fun, but very busy weekend!

Fun with Family

The Whistle Blower

Hobbs loves playing with my whistle I use for recess at school. He fills it with lots of slobber (yum!) but has figured out how to get it to make noise, which he thinks is hilarious. We thought it was pretty funny too on our latest car ride. :)

Chatter Box

Hobbs has become quite the little chatter box lately. Of course he stops chattering when I try to record him, so this video will just have to do. He was having a deep conversation with the water bottle before I started recording, but all he does on the video is yell. :)

11 Months Old

Hobbs is 11 months old today! It's so hard to believe! Here are a few pictures of him from this week and today. He has started making the "stinky face" (as my friends the Schrag family call it) you see in some of the pictures. He squishes up his nose and grins. It is too funny! :)

Too Much TV!

While it may seem bad (we must watch a lot of TV for Hobbs to have a favorite commercial), Hobbs loves the J.G. Wentworth opera commercial-we're not sure why. He stops what he's doing every time to watch it and loves it! We had to get it on video...he's such a crack-up! :) You might have to turn the volume up a little more than usual to hear the commercial... :)

Spitter

Hobbs has a new noise where it sounds like he's giggling/coughing (you'll hear Brandt make the noise in the background). Of course Hobbs wouldn't do it on video, but instead he showed that he is all boy-thank goodness the clean dishes were out of the dishwasher! :) By the way, the stain on his sleeve is barbeque sauce from supper.

Mister with a Mohawk

Standing on His Own

Within the past couple of days, Hobbs has figured out how to stand by himself. He was "helping" put dishes away this morning and demonstrated his newfound ability for us. :)
