My Little Buddy and Grati-turkeys

I was able to do some good bathroom cleaning today while Cooper was asleep.  And a bunch of laundry too.  I even dusted!  It's a good thing he had a long nap today, because when he's awake he pretty much likes to be right here:

 as you can see though, I don't mind so much.  :)  My arms get a little tired holding him, but I haven't gotten tired of his little coos which are becoming more often.  So cute!  So fun!

We made Grati-turkeys last night for FHE.  We even traced Cooper's hand!  He didn't mind until finger three and then Todd had to trace really fast to finish because Cooper was NOT happy.  He forgot why he was crying pretty fast though so it was worth it!  He's grateful for all sorts of good baby stuff, like his family and bottles and diapers and Bruno Bear.  He LOVES his Bruno Bear - smiles and "talks" to him all the time.  It's really cute.

All day today I've been having this wonderful quote floating through my head.  Since it's Thanksgiving week, I'll end with it:

"To express gratitude is gracious and honorable, to enact gratitude is generous and noble, but to live with gratitude ever in our hearts is to touch heaven."

-Thomas S. Monson

Happy Thanksgiving!!
