Lil' buddies!

Since we've moved, we are able to see Cooper's lil' buddy Anderson more often! They are about 6 months apart and have a great time together. Here are some picts of them playing! Enjoy!

At the beginning of August we celebrated Evan's 2nd birthday with a pajama party - monkey style. Cooper and Evan are 2 months apart! The party was too cute.

matching pjs, but not wanting to sit still

the lil' ones in birth order - Evan, Marley, Cooper, Maddie and Finn

Love how Cooper is raising his hand like, "Please, can I get down now?"
and love how birthday boy is sitting on the couch up high!
