Cooper - 17 Months Old

Cooper - You are 17 months old! Here's what you are up to!

• You are constantly moving! You love playing and running outside! You also love water so I can't wait until it's warm enough to go swimming in Aunt Mona's pool! I know that you will have a blast!


• You LOVE going to church and playing with the other children in the nursery! You are such a sweet boy and you get along with the other children so well!


• We have signed you up to begin Mother's Day Out this summer. I think that you will love being around all the other kids. You are growing up way too fast!


• You talk all the time and now will tell us what you want. A lot of the time you tell us by grunting, but you tell us nonetheless! :)


• You still love to read and we can ask you where something is in a book (puppy, tractor, sheep, etc.) and you will point it out to us.


• You love to dance and sing and you will also clap you hands to the music...it's too cute! Your current favorite song to sing is "Bob the Builder."


• You are really getting in to trains. You call them "Choo Choo's" and you love watching "Thomas the Tank Engine."


• You love babies and are so sweet with them! This might change when you eventually get a little brother or sister! :)


• You have the funniest sense of humor! Your Daddy and I get so tickled at what you say and do. You are our little entertainer!


• You love people and aren't shy AT ALL! You love people! I'm so glad that you are so outgoing!

Cooper - 16 Months Old

Cooper - You are 16 months old! Here's what you are up to!

• You are in a size 5 diaper, size 18 month pants, size 24 months/2T shirts & size 6 shoe.


• You love being outside! The weather has been really nice and we are spending as much time as possible playing outside. We let your puppies out to play with you and they are so good around you! Since they are so big, we were afraid that they would just knock you down but they are really gentle and sweet to their "little brother."


• You still love tractors & big trucks but you recently starting loving trains, or "choo choo's" as you call them!


• You went to your first birthday parties for friends. One on February 26th for Carter's 3rd birthday and one on March 5th for Barrett's 1st birthday and you had a BLAST at both! The themes for each were based on your favorite shows Thomas the Tank Engine (Carter's) and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse (Barrett's).


• You make friends so easily! If there are any children around, you get right in the middle and start playing. You are very outgoing and social just like your Daddy! You like also to share and that makes Mama proud! :)


• You love to walk Nuna's chihuahua, Bruiser. It's so funny to see you following him around holding his leash. I think that it's more Bruiser walking you, but it's adorable nonetheless! And it doesn't matter what happens, you will not let go of Bruiser's leash!


• Your are such a fun, sweet child and we are so thankful that God blessed us with you!

• At your last doctor's appointment you weighed 25 lbs, 4 ozs (50th-75th percentile) and were 32 1/2 inches (90th percentile).

• You love to sing! You will sing the theme song to "Bob the Builder" but it comes out "Bob da Bilbur" - TOO CUTE!


• You are still a good eater but since you were sick with a cold twice in a month, you have gotten a little picky. I am finding new and creative way to "hide" fruits and veggies in foods that you like. I think that I have tested at least half of the recipes in the book "Deceptively Delicious"!


• Your favorite foods at the moment are my homemade banana bread (you LOVE it!), chicken nuggets and any breakfast food!


• We have been able to take you outside some now that the weather is getting better and you love it! You don't want to come back into the house! You love to run and play with your 2 puppies, Murphy & Darby (and they love you!).

• You still love tractors and "big trucks." :)


• You are the light in our lives and we love you VERY much!
