Cooper-n-Cash

So I had been hearing a lot about how I was going to have to help out around the house once my brother came along. Mommy and Daddy weren't joking, they have really started putting me to work now that I'm a big brother!

Here I am doing the dishes...

organizing Cash's closet for him...

and a little handy-man work around the house...

I'm even in charge of dressing myself now... ;-)(all I need is my soccer hat, soccer underwear and rockstar sunglasses...right?)

Don't worry, I'm not totally independent now but I am enjoying helping out with Baby Cash (that's what I always call him, not just Cash but "Baby Cash"). As soon as I wake up in the mornings I immediately ask, "Where is Baby Cash?" Then I have to hold him and give him lots of kisses! I have really adjusted well to my big brother status and Mommy and Daddy are relieved that I am so good with him. I think we are going to be great friends!

I know that along with being a big brother means I have to start sharing with Cash. So I have decided to end my "cooperphillip.blogspot.com" blog. Cash and I have talked it over and we decided to collaborate and start our own brothers blog! The link is http://cooper-n-cash.blogspot.com. I will be helping Cash out with the whole blogging thing since he's new to the scene. I hope you enjoy our new blog and be sure to leave us lots of comments!

Happy Birthday Cash!

It's a BOY! My new baby brother, Cash Austin, has arrived!

Here are his stats:

Saturday, March 21st

I don't think there has ever been a more proud big brother! :-) I just love to hold and kiss him and, of course, Mommy thinks it's the sweetest thing ever. I think she's a pretty lucky mom to have such sweet little boys. ;-)

Weird Weather

It's been a week since I last blogged and the weather has went through many changes since my last post! Here are some pics from last weekend when Fischer came home for a visit. We went to Mimi and Pepa's and built a snowman in their yard!And then this weekend it was so nice out Mommy and Daddy took me outside and we practiced riding my bike! It was a little tricky for me trying to figure out how to pedal and steer at the same time. It took some trying, but I started getting the hang of it.

Local Celebrity

I received so many calls and texts about my appearance on the front page of the DAR yesterday that I felt like a celebrity toddler for the day! (I imagine that's how Shiloh and Suri feel everyday of their lives.) Who knows, maybe the DAR is just a start and US Weekly and People will be soon to follow! ;-)

Well, for all of the out-of-towners that follow my blog, I included the newspaper picture of me that caused all of the hype yesterday. (It was taken at the local library here in PB at the weekly story time that I attend.)

Hot Off the Press!

Be sure to pick up today's edition of the DAR newspaper. I made the front page! (Don't worry, it's not for anything illegal or some type of criminal act.)

Be My Valentine

I had a great Valentine's Day yesterday! I got some great presents and LOTS of hugs and kisses! Mommy & Daddy got me a How Do I Love You book and Blue's Clues Hug Day DVD. Fischer mailed me a package with a Valentine, pictures and Hug Hug book. Mimi & Pepa got me color wonder book and markers and a Snuggle Puppy book. Mimi even made me a fancy jello heart collage that was sooo yummy!

And here are a few pics from my past Valentine's. I don't remember ever being this little!

Q&A Session

Mom conducting an in-depth interview with me. ;-)

Pepa and Mimi Update: Finally, after 13 days, they got power Saturday night! Woo-hoo!

Frosty the 'no' man

Friday I strapped on my new snow boots (which, by the way, Mom had to search P.B. high and low for...who knew snow boots would be so hard to find in this town!) and went outside to build a 'no' man (snowman)! I had a blast even though the snow was pretty tough to work with. It was hard from all of the ice, so Mom and I commissioned Dad for the building part while she and I got the supplies ready to dress him up. Mom insisted on a stylish 'no' man so she thought a Burberry scarf would make the other neighborhood snowmen envious. I was pretty pleased with the final product and love looking out our window at him constantly. I'm sure it will be a sad day around our house once the sun melts him, but for now he's pretty fun to look at! Afterwards, we went in and Mom made us some hot chocolate. However, I wasn't too impressed with it. I'm just a simple guy who prefers a tall glass of milk straight up; no fancy drinks required. ;-)

As if my pictures weren't enough, now for your enjoyment I have included a short video of all the fun I had playing in the snow.

Pepa and Mimi Update: Seven days and counting and still no power. They stopped by for showers and a visit yesterday and cooked up a turkey while they were here since it was thawing out in their freezer. I woke up from my nap and had a mini-Thanksgiving dinner waiting on me! I thought it was yummy and I even wanted to eat the leftovers for breakfast this morning, but Mom wasn't down with that idea.

Ice Ice Baby

This past week has been crazy with the major ice storm here in SE Missouri! We were only without power for about 24 hours, but Mimi and Pepa are still without it (and that's about 5 days and counting). They have come to our house to take showers, etc., but they now have a generator going so hopefully that will help them feel a little more "normal" at their house. Daddy has been crazy busy at work with all of the claims coming in. And today he went to help Pepa Rhodes clear some tree limbs at Gwen and Poppy's house and at Granny Rhodes' house. He's been one busy guy! Here are a few icy pics to share with you from this week... You can't tell from the pic but Mom's magnolia tree is dunzo. :-(

Lots of limbs down on Aunt Jane and Uncle Buddy's house ...

America's Next Top Model

Today Mommy, Daddy and I went to get some 3D pics of the baby in Mommy's belly. The sonographer asked me if I thought I was having a baby brother or baby sister. I stuck with my usual answer of "baby sister". I guess we'll see in April if I was right or wrong. The sonographer was also really impressed with the pics she was getting of the baby. She even asked Mommy for permission to use the baby's pics in their advertising flyer about the 3D ultrasound. Who knew you could get a modeling contract while still in the womb?! Here are some of the pics of the covergirl or boy...
