Welcome Samantha!

The boys are happy to welcome their cousin Samantha MacKenzie into the Voth family. It is nice to add a girl into the mix with these two boys. We are very much looking forward to watching her grow and the fun memories to come.

Cooper "Edward" Voth

Strangely, both of Cooper's top incisors came in before his front two teeth leaving him vampire teeth for almost 2 months. I find this amusing since his mother was obsessed with the Twilight series while pregnant with him. A coincidence? I wish I had a picture of this to share, but funny how a 9 month old won't hold still and open his mouth long enough for his mom to get such picture.

Cooper's 9 Month Stats

Height: 28 1/2" (50th percentile)

Weight: 22 lbs 1 oz (69th percentile)

Head: 18 1/2" (87th percentile)

Likes: Food, Mason, remotes, standing up

Dislikes: Having to go to sleep when Mason is still awake

When I'm 18...

For sometime now, Mason has had a life plan, which goes a little something like this: "When I am 18, I am going to play for the Gophers, then, I am going to play for the Canadians," which later turned into the Washington Capitals. Mason is missing one big step to becoming a future hockey player...skating.

So we signed Mason up for group skating lessons through Farmington Park and Rec. We had tried skating the previous year on our own and got a lot of "it is too hard." We banked on him being more willing to try with a group of his peers. We were wrong. Unfortunately, Mason was the only one in the group who couldn't skate, so he was kind of left behind and very discouraged. So after only a couple of lessons, we gave up on this format, but will continue working with him on our own. It is sad to have quit something he is so passionate about, but we know he will get the hang of it eventually, it is Mason after all.
