General Cuteness

Here is what we've been up to the last few weeks...

Having movie night and eating popcorn with Daddy is a new favorite...


Trying to get the hang of self-feeding yogurt. Need to keep practicing that one...

Remodeling the big boy room...no more crib!

showing Mom that letting cows lick you isn't half bad...

Getting pecked by a rooster...it will be awhile before we go back to that farm!

The iPhone lets you flip the camera so now Mommy and me can have our picture taken together!

Great Grandma Jean

"...Life is no brief candle to me; it is a sort of splendid torch which I've got a hold of for the moment and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations."

-George Bernard Shaw

DUNK IT!

Kellan got a bball hoop for Christmas and learned how to dunk and cheer from his cousin Danny.
Here he is displaying his skills.

Very First Passport...

For those that haven't heard yet, the 3 of us Cooneys are going to Italy in April (yes, the baby is coming and we couldn't be more excited to share this adventure all together!)

We got Kellan's first passport photo taken which he got a kick out of.

Baboons and Zoo Lights

Happy Thanksgiving!

It was 2 years ago today that Kevin and I discovered I was pregnant with Kellan...I am so grateful for my guys.

HAPPY

Pirates and Pumpkins

Halloween in Arizona is still 100 degrees, hence the shorts and sun hat...


Brad helped us carve pumpkins...his took 3 hours to carve and us Cooneys were done in a half hour...but you can see why.

On our way to trick or treat at Grandma's house...refusing to wear the eye patch and earring.

First lollipop...aaahhhh.

Mom, someone's been in the planter...

Short guy. Not much hair. Pretty cute...

Kellan's new hood...Chi Town

First Train Ride

Holding onto Daddy...

Grandpa reads me "Rockin Babies"

Cruisin in my hoodie

We went to Chicago this past weekend to celebrate the Degnan wedding and had a blast! We had Kellan in tow and Grandma and Grandpa Cooney met us by train to spend some quality time with the boy. We had adjoining rooms and Kellan would knock on their door in the morning to have breakfast with Grandpa or get stories read by Grandma.

He loved the city too and all the walking he got to do!

In Memory of Michael R. Canty

Michael Canty was brother to our friend Pete Canty. He passed away on September 11, 2001 in the World Trade Center. He was 30 years old.

We visited his flag today at the Healing Field Memorial in Tempe. The Feuers were there too and left flowers for him.

All our love goes out to the Canty family this day and every day.

The Pied Piper of Babies

It's Official...

Kellan decided today was a good day to start walking!

Phoenix Swim Club

We have ourselves a new swimmer...

Kellan had his first swim lesson today (a present from Great Grandpa Poppy) and he's well on his way to an Olympic medal. His teacher's name is Marty and is so good and patient with Kells...he showed him how to go under water and by the fifth try, Kellan stopped crying!

A little post-lesson hummus snack...

All this weather...

I read about what is happening on the east coast and boy does my heart go out to everyone out there.
I think it's crazy here in Arizona that we live in a state where it's so hot, birds just fall down dead.
Happens. All the time. Just walking...and poof!...they're dead.
Because it is that hot.

Kellan's big bike ride

We got Kellan a bike seat for his birthday...here's him and Daddy cruising.

My very first wagon...

from my Aunt Bridget and I LOVE IT!

King for a Day

Here are pictures from Kellan's Big #1!

King of the Jungle!

Mom! That's a big bite and it's on FIRE!

Eh...cake ain't bad.

Me and my Great Grandpa Poppy!

Pushin' my guy Sammy around...

One-derful

since moment one...

Happy Birthday Kellan!

4th of July

This is my song, O God of all the nations,

A song of peace for lands afar and mine.

This is my home, the country where my heart is;

Here are my hopes, my dreams, my holy shrine;

But other hearts in other lands are beating

With hopes and dreams as true and high as mine.

My country skies are bluer than the ocean,

and sunlight beams on clover leaf and pine.

But other lands have sunlight, too, and clover,

And skies are everywhere as blue as mine.

So hear my song, O God of all the nations,

A song of peace for their land and for mine...

(excerpt from This Is My Song by Lloyd Stone and Georgia Harkness)
