Little man and I headed out for a recovery run Monday morning. He is the most beautiful boy in the whole world!

It felt so good to run in the sunshine. I got four miles in for the day while listening to a podcast.

I had a two hour faculty meeting and a bunch of grading that I knocked out Monday afternoon while our nanny was here. When she left, Coop and I snuggled on the couch, and he passed out. He is always so snuggly when he wakes up.

After his nap, we headed to swim.

He is able to do his floats and everything, but he still gets upset during the lessons. He gets lots of snuggles in-between working on his floats.

Jake’s grandma came over to eat dinner with us on Monday. After we ate, the three of us lounged on the couch and watched part of 1923.

The cutest little lover woke up ready to celebrate Valentine’s Day!

After breakfast, we did a little bit of crafting, and then Cooper got a bath.

Which is probably one of his favorite things in the entire world. This kid loves water.

My little lover boy.

Another current favorite thing is to show us how big he is. If we say, “how big is Cooper?” He will stretch his arms away above his head. It’s adorable.

We finished up our crafts – we made love bugs! Then Coop-man took a nap.

I had a workout run yesterday, and since it was raining, I hopped on the treadmill to knock it out.

I ended with a little over 8 1/2 miles for the day. That was brutal. After my run, I chugged a recovery shake and then did my strength work out. By the time I finished both, I was so worn out.

We usually eat dinner at home on Valentine’s Day. Last night, we had Chicken Cordon Bleu, my favorite brussels, and salad. It was delicious.

We are getting so close to finishing this spot in our dining room. Jake got the light fixture put up last night and wired in the switch for it. I’m so excited to see the finished product!
