Christmas Day 2008

We had a wonderful Christmas Day. We started the day off by waking up at Grandma Lou Lou and Papa Bob's (Jeff's Parents) house. The boys seemed to sleep great. Jeff and I didn't, I was just so excited. This is the first year for Avin to really understand what was going on. I think last year he kinda got it but not as well as he did this year. Parker was really excited also. When the boys woke up or I should say when Jeff woke them up (daddy was really excited!!!!!) we opened our gifts from eachother and from Santa. Later that moring John, Andi, Graci, Laney, GiGi, John and Marla came over for brunch. After brunch we opened gifts and had a relaxing day.

Here is what the boys had waiting for them when they woke up.

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve Night at Grandpa & Grandpa Bradfords!

A tradition of ours is to spend the night Jeff's Parents house. We have done it since we were married. This is a picture of Grandma reading the Christmas Story to the boys before bed.

Cooper Lynn Update

She is sleeping 7-9 hours! YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cooper is doing so well. She is now 9 weeks old. Sleeping great and napping well too. She does have a fussy time from 7-9 but I'll take it just as long as she keeps up the sleeping long hours at night. Her thrush went away a couple days ago. We stopped giving her the anti-fungus medicine. After seeing the doctor and him saying that he wasn't too worry about it I decided that I would see if it would go away on it's own. And it did, YEAH!!!!

Christmas Sunday with my Amanda's Family!

We always celebrate Christmas with my side of family the weekend before Christmas. We had it at our house this year. My mom and dad are in the process of building a house right now(should be done by spring). They are in a small rent house right now and there is no way all 15 of us could fit comfortably. So we had everyone at our house. We had a great time, this was the first Christmas that Avin really understood what was going on. He was so excited about everything. Parker really enjoyed it also. Cooper slept through it all!! It was neat to see the kids react to everything. We started the night out with dinner then opened gifts then had YUMMY KRISPY KREME BREAD PUDDING. The KK bread pudding is a new tradition, this is the 2nd year we have made it. Everyone loves it, you need to be careful because you can get a buzz if you eat to much.

The kids before Church!

The kids are so excited!

Santa at TSAC

We went to Tri-State Athletic Club today to see Santa. The boys didn't like him at all. They both were so scared of him. They wanted to keep there distance. They did let me hold them while Jeff took our picture. They had fun making Christmas crafts. 12 days till Christmas, we all are so excited!!!!

Cooper is 8 weeks old already

Wow, time has went by so fast!! I can't believe that Cooper is already 8 weeks old. She is growing like a weed and changing daily. Today we went to Dr. Blanke for her two month check up. Cooper isn't getting any vaccinations but we still go in to see the doctor for her "baby well" check ups to make sure she is growing and is healthy. It's always so nice to see Dr. Blanke, he is such an amazing Doctor. You can tell he loves what he does. Cooper's weight was 9lbs 6oz, 21 1/4 inches long and head was 33 in. She is falling in the 13%. She has had trush on her tongue for about a week so we are treating her lightly with an anti fungus med. He said that we shouldn't worry to much about it. Cooper is doing really well at night. She is sleeping 6-7 hours every night. The boys started sleeping 8-10 hrs once they hit 10lbs so I'm guessing here in the next few weeks she should be sleeping even longer. She is starting to have eye contact and she loves to watch the boys play. She is also holding her head up really well. Breastfeading is still going great.

Everyone else in the Seymore house is also doing really well. Jeff went out of town for work last week. He had a really good time! He got to eat at some really nice restaurants and good fellowship with some of his co-workers. Jeff also went to Nashville this tuesday with his best friends, his dad, Josh and Chris to see Jeremy Cowart. Jeremy Cowart is a photographer that Jeff admires greatly. This past weekend Avin and I got the stomach flu. Boy that wasn't fun, thanfully we only had it for 24 hours. I was able to get some more Christmas shopping done this week. TSAC(the gym we go to) is having a "mommy shopping day" everyday until Christmas from 12-3. Even though it falls during the boys nap time, I used it this week. IT WAS A GOD SENT!!!!!!!!!!!! It was so nice to get out and do some shopping without them. I might use it again next week to get some final Christmas shopping done.

We have decided that were going to Disney World in March. I'M SO SO SO EXCITED!!! Disney World is one of my favorite places to visit. I know it might seem crazy to take 3 kids but my sister is coming too. It's going to be so nice to have an extra set of hands and a babysitter at night. We are going for 7 nights and 8 days!!! I've already started planning out our itinerary. I'm such the planner when it comes to things like this. Can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!

Cooper's Christmas Outfits

So I know I have went a little crazy with all the girly stuff. I know I said if I had a girl I wasn't going to be one of the crazy mom's that dresses her little girl up in all this girly stuff. Well I'm am one of those crazy mom's now and I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!

Cooper's First Ruffles and Ribbons Outfit

So I'm really enjoying dressing Cooper up in cute little outfits. Today I got her first Ruffles and Ribbons outfit. It's the first of many more to come! Jeff thinks I'm crazy!
