Daddy is giving Ike the dog a ride in Hooper's car....and Hooper does not like it!So he decides to tell Daddy about it.
And a compromise was reached.
You can't tell it, but Hooper can get his Daddy to play just about anything with him. After a while of pushing Hooper around on his knees, Dee engineered a pulling device that's much easier to use. His belt.
Hey Hooper's happy, that's all that matters...right?
Notice the multitude of bruises on his shins. Boys!This is one of those "out of order" pictures. It goes above...oh well. Look how cute he is.
Dee is re-wiring all the kitchen lights under the cabinets and Hooper decided he's big enough to help.He loved playing with the extra extension cords. I know the picture is dark, but check out the expression on his face. He's having a ball!
This is his first time to try and feed himself with a spoon. Pretty good I must say!
It got a little messy!

Puddles, Grandparents, a Mop and a Broom
Time for an update from our little man. But first, we want to take a minute to thank everyone for your prayers, cards, kind words and e-mails this past week. God has blessed our family with you as family and friends and we are so thankful!
On to Hooper.....well Blogger is not letting me edit or move around photos again today so there will be some out of order and wierdly placed photos so bear with me again.
Here's Hooper playing Patty Cake. I love his expression!
Two weeks ago my parents came up to help out while I was on "off my feet duty." And while they were here Dee conned my Dad into helping him put together a play set for Hooper. More pictures of this below...ugh blogger!
I think the hair and the expression on his face match, ha!
While here my Mom who used to be referred to as Sue-Sue but now Hooper has renamed her "Nana" (we have NO idea where that came from but it's here for good!) anyhow Nana taught Hooper how to "flip." Well he sticks his head to the floor and she does the flipping. But he does it all the time now.
Oh more Ike the Dog loving!
Ike is bigger than Hooper, but that does not stop him from dragging him around.
On to more pictures of his new play set. Hooper and Nana had a blast playing on it!
He has a new fascination.....mops and brooms, ugh! We hope this is not a sign of his future as a janitor.
Oga and Hooper are playing on the new toy now.
"If I could just get my mop up there!"
"Ok, I'll just have to mop my play house."
For his birthday Oga and Nana gave Hooper a sandbox and boy is it a huge HIT!!!
Back to the play set, playing with Nana and Oga.
Peek-a-boo Nana!

Going up the slide is so much more fun than going down it.
See the mop and broom fascination! I'm talking, he'll play with this forever!
Of the tons of toys he has, these are his favorites by far!
When he wants to play in his sandbox he'll just walk over and take the lid off.
What's in there?
It rained one day so his Daddy let him play in the puddles in the drive way. This was a first and of course he loved it.

He did more walking through the puddles than jumping in them. I just hope he didn't get Oga and Nana's car dirty!

While here Oga and Nana brought Hooper to Bass Pro Shops one day and he came home with a new hat. His Oga did not like the blue floppy one with flowers on in he had on in the swimming pool pictures. This one looks much manlier!
That's it. I do want to say a BIG OL' Thank you to my parents for taking care of us the last few weeks. We could not have done this without you! We love you!!

Just playing around
Still playing catch up. These photos are from mid-July but I cannot leave any part of Hooper's life out...now can I?
One day I knew he was too quiet so I had to go see what he was into.
Also for Hooper's birthday his Mamaw and Papaw gave him a Univ. of Tenn. bean bag chair. Boy does he LOVE it!

Backyard Adventures
For his birthday Mamaw and Papaw gave Hooper a swimming pool (among other things). As you see we're having a little trouble getting the "palm trees" to stay up, but nonetheless Hooper had a ball in it.

Check out the water hose spray coming from Hoop's tush!
Is he talented or what?
Also in our backyard is a boys version of a play house and he loves it too. It has a working doorbell that he pushes over and over. I have no idea why this mezmorizes him but it does.
See it's not a girly playhouse at all. Look at those manly colors!
I couldn't get a picture of it, but once he stuck his mouth under the faucet as if trying to get a drink. Hilarious!
Short post but I'm learning this is easier than trying to do huge ones...that take forever!!
Have a great weekend!
Have a great weekend!

One Silly Boy!
Hooper is really into making funny faces lately. These first pictures are from breakfast this morning. Once again I just could not pick only one to post, he's just too funny!
He's in his laundry basket here. When I do his laundry I stick him in the basket and pull him down the hall. He loves it.
That's it for today. As you see everyday is so much fun with Hooper! We are SO BLESSED!!!!!
