Milestones/Events:
1. He has been cutting four molars at once.. two top and two bottom. His is a trooper.. and it hasn't effected him all that much. The bottom two finally came in ALL of the way.
2. We took him to the HAIRY ELEPHANT for his first haircut. Cute place, he sat in a train. He like the train at first.. until the lady came and started messing with his hair. He wasn't too thrilled about that. He cried and screamed, and then finally he recoverd. And was back to his 'happy' little self. He looked so cute all 'tidy and cleaned up'.
3. He started walking and has quickly become a pro. Shoes are still a challenge, but its getting better, he is still a little wobbly with them on, but we are working on that. A major improvement from the first time we put them on.. he stared at his feet, refused to move and cried.. HA.. shoes soo tramatic!
Interests & Current Obsessions
1. CELL PHONES- Cooper always wants to hold our cell phones. We don't have fancy i-phones or anything, just 'old school' flip phones. But he doesn't care. It has buttons and it lights up. He particularly enjoys 'flipping' it open. Originally I didn't want him to touch our phones.. PERIOD.. but I caved.. and now he walks around with it. Oh well, he has that effect on you. He manages to somehow, accidentally turn on the camera and get a shot of his face or the floor or something. We have saved some cute ones. The funniest thing is he will hold the phone back behind his head and starts talking .. usually includes a lot of "Ehhh.. ehhh, ehh". Pretty funny!
2. MILK JUGS - one day Cooper found an empty milk jug by the back door, on the way to being put in the recycle bin. He scooped it up and carries it around. Acting like he is pouring it into cups.. or giving us a 'pretend drink'. Who needs toys when you have empty milk jugs.. HA.
3. BOWLS, CUPS, & SPATULA - Sit him down in the kitchen with a mixing bowl, and some toys to stir. A stack of plastic cups, and his milk jug, and he is good to go. Stirring "cooking" or making "soup" as we call it. He will even give us a 'bite' of his pretend soup occasionally. Future chef maybe?
4. DOORS - Doors, drawers, you name it.. he loves to open and close things.
5. KEYS - He really likes my cars keys in particular. He will pick the biggest key (my mazda key). Take it up to the door and attempt to put in door. He hasn't gotten into the key hole yet. But he sure works at trying to 'figure it out'. Funny to watch. He is very determined!
That's it for now. Sorry for the book. Fun stuff that I don't want to forget. And figured you might get a kick out of it.
