Mr. Inquisitive
This picture captures our little man and what we think is an amazing ability to concentrate. He will spend 20+ minutes playing with something over and over again until he figures out how it works to a level of his liking.

Christmas Hand-prints
Continuing to be inspired to actually do some of the ideas I pin on Pinterest, we had family time tackling this year’s Christmas ornament. It is a Cooper hand-print in Plaster of Paris painted into a Santa. Definitely a parent team effort to get everything aligned and contain a wiggly Cooper. This will go in…

Stinky Eyed Water Boy
Cooper loves to play with the water and ice levers on the refrigerator. He is great at “helping” Daddy fill his glass. He is still learning the consequences (soaking wet arm) if he hits the water lever before we get a chance to lock it again. Cooper loves to give Daddy “stinky eyes” when…

Crust
We are very fortunate that Cooper still loves to eat nearly everything. Pizza crust is a bonus item that he doesn’t get very often, especially from his mama’s lap. Sometimes Cooper doesn’t get all of the attention he wants, especially when cleaning up after a meal. This can cause a very adorable sad face to…

24 Weeks
Wow, when people say the second pregnancy goes by much quicker than the first they are not kidding! Funny to think at this point with Cooper we already had his room cleared out and the crib set-up. Little Bro’s room is the messiest it has ever been. We have at least made a list of…

Target Shopping Cart Success
Just when it was looking like our shopping days were over, we had a successful cart experience at Target. I have learned the key is to keep those hands busy and the more an item shakes or makes noise the better. Double bonus if it is actually on our shopping list. Today’s oatmeal distraction was…

A Not So Routine Walk
A routine walk to meet Daddy at the bus stop lead to Cooper’s first major injury. He tripped when walking on the sidewalk and hit his face on the pavement. He cried a pain cry, but stopped by the time I made it back to the house just a couple of minutes later. We didn’t…

Ally the Alligator
Helping Ally back into his crib Cooper is now taking naps with his first stuffed animal, Ally the alligator. Today Daddy taught him how to toss Ally into his crib from the ground. He usually gets tossed out during nap time so this is an exciting first.

Clothes – Moved to 24month and 2T tops, pajamas and one piece outfits. Still in 18-24 months for pants. Shoes are a size 5. Words – Touchdown with the arms (sometimes), fan (when pointing to the one above our kitchen table), dirty (in reference to his dirty diaper after being changed), cheese, fish, socks, shoes,…

Mama and Nene
A magical thing happened during Nene’s visit. Cooper said Mama for the first time! He quickly followed Mama by saying Nene within a day too. It made it very fun while we were shopping at Hobby Lobby to hear him say one of our names when he saw us down an aisle. So happy this…
