The Coastal Coopers: October 2013
http://coastalcoopers.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 28, 2013. Starting to feel real. We have a maternity consignment store nearby which I've been frequenting and have found a few things in my size, but we don't have any regular maternity stores nearby to try stuff unless I want to spend a small fortune. Which I can't. So we're trying to be as thrifty as possible on things so I can afford maternity leave in the spring. Our winter Farmer's Market. Which were ADORABLE. Who knew they were so little and so cute! Well, I'm head out of town this ...

The Coastal Coopers: July 2014
http://coastalcoopers.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 31, 2014. Later that weekend we finally took the little lady to the beach for the first time. It was stormy and overcast so at first we weren't sure it was going to work, but then we realized it was good because it kept it form being too bright for the Little Lady. This was also the first time we debuted her sunglasses - they actually fit and she liked them! Unfortunately though, we forgot our good waterproof camera so we only had my iPhone to use for pictures. I tried practicing just abou...

The Coastal Coopers: August 2014
http://coastalcoopers.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Saturday, August 23, 2014. Ah, yes, that's what bottom feels like. I have always been a water baby and love the pool (and C appears to be as well) so I went against the nagging voice of fear ( What if it's a colossal failure and she melts down while we're out? Or "how to change clothes and not let the baby fall over if you can't put her down? Or "how to quickly run out to the car for something you forgot (wallet, stroller, etc) when you're alone but have already dropped all your crap where you are? Ah, y...

The Coastal Coopers: February 2015
http://coastalcoopers.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Saturday, February 21, 2015. 9 years for Team Cooper. For her first visit. We always do an anniversary selfie - this year we had a new participant :). Needless to say, we had to plan for a make up night this weekend since we didn't get to the chocolate fondue we'd also planned. For more pictures from the aquarium and her 10th month antics, including videos of her using her walker and clapping, go to our Picasa site. Tuesday, February 3, 2015. And started her 10 month folder. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

The Coastal Coopers: November 2014
http://coastalcoopers.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 2, 2014. For the little lady's first Halloween we decided to start a tradition of doing family-themed costumes. And given the fact there were a number of variables involved (hot or cold weather? Crawling or still wallowing? Something she could comfortably wear for the duration of a party? Was the best option, with Wade and I accompanying her as sushi chefs. It felt like a trick for sure, but we were glad her first Halloween turned out to be such a treat. To see more photos, go here.

The Coastal Coopers: May 2014
http://coastalcoopers.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 13, 2014. Everyday it seems we are getting more awake time with C which is fun, but also means it's been harder to blog! And is developing some good head control. Morning person" - we wake up to a smiley baby! Last Saturday we finally got out for C's first actual trip to the Farmer's Market. She did great riding shotgun in the pack on Wade. We went early to try avoiding the heat and were able to pick up veggies, local blueberries, local kombucha. And Ethiopian food at our favorite stand....

The Coastal Coopers: April 2015
http://coastalcoopers.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 6, 2015. A beach bunny she will be. Look who loves the sand! One of her Easter presents was a pop-up kiddie pool which was really handy and she loved splashing in it. It was a nice alternative to the big pool which was still just a bit too chilly to get in to and she likes doing things on her own already which gets difficult since we have to hold her in the big pool (that didn't stop her from trying to climb in all weekend! See more photos from her 12 month album here. Janis, Miles, and Sam.
