April 2013 - And so it begins...

CONFERENCE!  So excited to have been able to hear from the Prophet of our church and all the other leaders who spoke.  It is such an uplifting weekend and perfect for us to spend time together before Lynn started on the 8th. We just relaxed at home the whole time.
Lynn started work the next week.  He did 2 weeks of in-class training then a week of shadowing and then started working with the inmates himself.  So far it has been good, nothing real excited has happened.  He has been on day shifts which is nice and had most weekends off, but now he is starting to have to work on Sundays, which stinks.  The 1st full week of May though he has a couple days off during the week so we will be going over to San Francisco to see the Giants play the Braves and stay for the night.  It should be a fun chance to get away!!



Cooper is mobile now and gets into everything and pulls himself up on everything in sight!  I run around behind him all day catching him as he falls.  He gets the proudest smile on his face when he stands all the way up.  He loves: pudding, fish sticks, any vegetable, bananas (if he can hold it and eat it), anything sweet, and anything mom or dad are eating pretty much.  He hates: guitars (he starts screaming and reaches to be picked up), most fruits, being left alone!  He loves attention though.  At church this last week he was out in the halls playing with some other kids and their moms.  He would push the other babies away so he could crawl up on their mom’s laps!  Such an attention hog. He also bites everything within reach of his mouth and it hurts!  He is doing really well at going to bed on his own though, he just rock him for a few minutes and say prayers with him then lay him down and he usually falls right to sleep without any crying.  I love having his bed time at 7:30! It definitely gives Lynn and me a chance to relax without worrying about him. We love him so much and his laughs when he gets tired is the funniest thing I have ever seen!
