Scrub-a-dub-dub!!! Little Cookies in the tub!!

Now that Tripp is sitting up on his own, he can finally take a bath with big brother Clete!!!

Clete was so excited when I told him that Tripp was going to take a bath with him!

Clete got all his little bath toys out and was teaching Tripp how to play

Tripp had the best time!

Bath time at the Cook house is definitely going to be easier from here on out!

Jumperoo #2

YAAAAHHHOOOOO!!!!!

After jumping sooooo hard in his 1st Jumperoo and breaking 1 of the springs, we have replaced it with a newer version! Here he is enjoying his new Jumperoo, hopefully he won't break this one!

Nothin like a little front door target practice at 8 AM on a Saturday morning!

After about 30 minutes of "Momma, can I go shoot my BB gun?, Momma can I PLEEEASE go shoot my BB gun?" And me saying, "No son, not until Daddy gets home!" We settled for this:

At least he has the safety thing down !

He's the cutest kid ever!!!

The Best babysitter!!!

Tripp and Willie

Willie is the best babysitter! He absolutely loves babies. I remember when Clete came home from the hospital, Willie watched him like a hawk! If I was in another part of the house and Clete began making a noise that Willie didn't think was quite right he would come get me. I mean the dog would pitch a fit, kinda like he needed to go outside really bad, but when I would start walking behind him he would take me right to Clete. I am so glad that Tripp is going to have the opportunity to get to know him too. As you can see Willie is quite a bit older now, look at the gray hair around him mouth! We love him to pieces and I think Tripp is pretty fond of him too!

6 Months Old!!!

Tripp is 6 months old!!!

Wow, I can't believe that my little chunky monkey turned 6 months old yesterday! He is sitting up all on his own, but still won't attempt to rollover(very stubborn child)! Tripp loves peas and bananas, squash not so much. He loves, or should I say LOVED, his Jumperoo, he jumped so hard in it yesterday that he broke one of the springs! Oh yeah, his favorite word, DA DA, he just reminded me of that one. We go for official 6 month check up tomorrow and of course the dreaded shots, wish us luck!

Too cute to pass up!

SOOOO cute, I just couldn't resist!!

The most precious baby I know!

Look at Me!!! Look at Me!!!!

I cannot believe it, but my little buddy is sitting up! This is funny because he will not even attempt to roll over, but he will sit up and play with his toys. I even asked the doc at his last appointment about it, he said that the bigger the baby a lot of the time the longer before they roll over. In other words, he's got to get up enough momentum to roll his chunky little self over!

Tripp loves playing with his little "tool bench". His favorite "tool"? The drill of coarse!

Tripp also had another mile stone this week. He said his 1st WORD!!!! And that word is.....wait for it........DI-DA or just DA! (Sigh) I think that Dale has been whispering da-da in the baby's ear since the day he was born. We were sitting in the floor playing Monday night, when Dale came in from work. Tripp looked up, started flapping his fat little arms and began spewing forth "di-da, di-da, di-da. He is also being a little trooper right now with his teething. The poor little thing is drooling constantly, chewing on whatever he can get in his mouth, has pretty bad "poopies" and is ill a lot of the time. I hope those teeth break through soon!

New Year's Eve we celebrated Christmas with my family. We all piled up at Jeff and Wanda's for some of my Granddaddy's ham and ham sauce. Pete and Joan made the trek from Hanceville. Damaris and Brian also made a long trek from north Georgia. This Christmas was great, not only because of the memories we made, but because we found out that we are getting a new family member. Tiffany and Jason are getting married!!!!
