I NEED YOUR HELP!

Ok, I need your help. Which cover for Cooper's photo book do you like better? I have to order it tomorrow to get 20% off so let's hear those opinions!

***Note: the gold stripe around the front cover will not be there. It is only showing which page I am editing. And any box that is empty will not show up on the final product.

No Pictures Tomorrow....

Ok, so you will not be getting pictures tomorrow... I have been working on Cooper's First Year album on Shutterfly ALL DAY and to be honest I'm tired of looking at pictures. I am going to spend the day looking at the real thing (Cooper). Pictures to resume on Monday I promise. (Barring any unforseen circumstances). So check back Monday!

Oh, and thank you for all the awesome comments :)

Pictures From the Past

Here is the third installment:

These first 4 are from his 6 month pictures. (Don't worry, I have the copyrights to them)

This is Cooper and my Uncle J. And I just got a call letting me know he arrived safely at home last night after a year in Iraq!

Rear vs. Forward

Since Cooper turned one, I get asked atleast daily when I am going to turn his car seat around and let him face forward.





Well the answer is I don't know! Well, when he is too tall to be rear-facing (I think on our car seat that's around 35 inches). I believe the longer he can stay rear-facing the safer he will be. Just because he has control of his neck and head doesn't mean he would in a crash at 55 mph. In my first year as a mom I've learned through trial and error that the AAP guidelines aren't always what is best for my child. I don't want this to be one of the errors.





So Mommys, what is your opinion of this? Did you turn your child(ren) around at his or her first birthday? Did you wait a little while? Or even turn them around before he or she turned one? Let's hear it!
