1st Birthday Boy!

Cooper's ONE!
Cooper had his first birthday on Thanksgiving day this year.  Jon and Tracie were here visiting for the holiday.  We had a small fun little celebration.  Jon took some video singing and Cooper eating the cake with his camera, however as soon as it was all done, he realized it wasn't taping anything.  Oops.  So I have lots of pictures to document the events, and no video.  So picture overload...

First things First...Candle!  No we didn't light it!

First Feel...Cooper's not sure about this.

First taste..still not sure.

Ok...I think I would rather play in it!

Daddy tried to help me eat some...didn't work too well.

Daddy even tried to show me how.

I had fun just playing!

Happy BOY all cleaned up!

Present Time!

Yippee...NEW CARSEAT! Every 1 year old's dream!

It was a fun small celebration!  Cooper was a happy little birthday boy! We love you Cooper!

Baby #4...Yep that is right!

Yes that is right...Baby #4 is coming!  Was I ready...NOOOO!  Was it a SHOCK...YES!  A good one, I guess.  It took some time to get use too.  We wanted one more but not this soon.  I still have a baby!  They will be 18 months apart.  A little close for me, I know people do it all the time.  And I guess I will too!

My blog wasn't updated for 3 months because I was SICK for 3 months!  I have never been this sick ever with a pregnancy.  It has been so different than my other 3 pregnancies.  I was exhausted, nauseous, tired, nauseous, and more tired.  I literally spent a couple of months on the couch with Cooper playing around me.  It was really hard.  I barely could eat because nothing sounded good..I mean NOTHING!  I couldn't cook.  I couldn't even stand the smell of the pantry. It was horrible.   The doctor gave me some meds..which totally saved me.  I still would get sick but NOT as much.  I could actually function more during the day. 

My first ultrasound showed a peanut...a mean a peanut.  It doesn't look like a baby to me.  It was smaller than it should be for my due date calculator.  So I had a second ultrasound a couple of weeks later and it actually looked more like a baby.  The doctor scared me because she thought maybe there was 2 babies in there..that scared me to death. I actually had a dream I had twins and it scared me to death.  So I am thankful it is just one baby! My due was changed...which wasn't cool.  I had to go back two weeks.  Which was hard to change in my mind...I thought I was 8 weeks but really only 6!  I am now ok with it.  My due date is May 23 or 24th? I can't remember what the doctor said. 

So ready or not...the final Redford Baby is on it's way!

Halloween!

Halloween this year!  The ward Halloween party was canceled, so we mainly just celebrated it on Halloween this year.  I took Cooper up to Eric's work to show off his "Awesome" costume. I LOVED It!  I also have never spent that much on a costume before. But it was sooo cute...I couldn't resist. And the quality was great too! Very Warm.

Easton was Darth Vader!

 Cooper was the Monster from Monsters Inc. SOOO CUTE! He hated the hat, it was too big for him so it kept sliding down past his eyes..which was soo cute but he didn't think so.

 Brooklyn was a fairy bat.  That said she wanted to be a bat.  Don't ask me why?

Cooper wasn't too happy to take pictures.

 My little outfit I made.  I am not sure people understood exactly what it meant. 

Easton hit the jack pot.  We all went out for about an hour Trick or Treating on the golf cart.  It was fun until Brooklyn got sick and had to go home.  So I stayed home while Easton and Eric went back out...until 9:30!  I was starting to get worried.  He got soooo much candy. They had a great time.  Brooklyn was a little jealous!

We did go to the Boo Bash in Cobb on Friday and got a free pumpkin! 

It was a fun Halloween!
