Aunt Meg & Cooper

B and I traveled down I-45 last week to visit our dear friends..."Aunt" Megan & Cooper in Houston. Megan was one of my roommates in college and a School of Education confidant and Cooper is her adorable son.

Meg and Cooper were so sweet to host us. We enjoyed getting a glimpse of their world...and had some great time at their house to relax and catch up.


B and "Aunt" Meg had quite a bonding moment one night...I was playing with Cooper and Megan heard B start to fuss. Megan went over to pick Owen up and discovered that he had quite a dirty diaper. Megan picked him up and was surprised to find that Owen's diaper was leaking. Megan was awesome about the leak and found the humor in it...despite the fact that poop truly cascaded down her arms...we all laughed so hard! I was able to get a photo on Megan's camera of the moment check http://www.batesbrigade.blogspot.com/ for your own laugh!


Megan and Cooper love to take walks around their neighborhood. B and I enjoyed taking a walk with them one evening after it cooled down a little outside. Cooper couldn't understand why he wasn't able to push Owen's stroller...so he pushed his own...it came in handy at the end of the walk when he sat in his stroller and asked Megan to push him.

We brought some famous Bluebonnet Bakery sugar cookies down for Cooper to enjoy. He picked the cowboy boot cookie with frosting to eat first...

Anytime that Owen would get fussy or upset, Cooper would get quite concerned. In this video snip-it, Owen had been crying...trying to tell all of us that he was not happy about being in his car seat...Cooper went to Owen and started rocking his car seat and told him that it was okay...he was so sweet!


I wasn't going to post two videos, but after watching Owen's facial expressions, I decided I needed to post this one too. It is so fun to watch him wiggle and "talk", this video captures some of his developing personality.

It was such a sweet trip, we made lots of memories and are looking forward to seeing our dear friends again this fall!
