Eating oranges

Tonight for dinner I gave Cooper an orange, he didn't really eat them but it was fun to play with. Every time he would squeeze the orange it would squirt him in the face. Who new an orange could be so much fun. Enjoy

Christmas Presents

We have a small problem, Mom can't seem to wait until Christmas to give Cooper his presents. The reaction is priceless. I am going to have to wrap them up and give them to him all over again on Christmas, of coarse we didn't have the video camera ready when we opened this one.

Weekend fun

I can't believe how big he looks in this picture. He loves to color while we are cooking dinner.

He sneaks around to the back side of the tree to get a better look at the ornaments

he thinks I can't see him, he loves to point out all the balls on the tree.

Cooper 15 months

the curls are coming back after the haircut

our happy baby has returned after a week of cutting 4 teeth

Cooper had his 15 month check up last week he is 22 lbs 1 oz. and 30" long. He has lost 1 1/2 pounds since his surgery because he started walking. He is starting to figure out how to run away from us. He has changed so much in the past couple of weeks, he really knows what he wants now. Every night when we get home he goes to the refrigerator and waits for me to open it and then when dinner is ready he goes to the cabinet and gets his bib and walks over to his chair. The cutest thing is he says Pooper instead of Cooper. He will appreciate this some day!

New Words: cracker, book, good dog, pick up, Cooper

Signs: bye, milk, more, blowing lots of kisses

Cooper's first surgery

I completely forgot about telling everyone about our big day. We decided to put tubes in Cooper's ears on October 18th. These are a few photos from our morning. We were at the hospital by 5:30 am and were home by 9:30 am. It was a quick procedure and Cooper did really well. We are hoping this helps with all the ear infections. I spoke to soon......

Last week we had him in again with double ear infection and strep throat. It has been lots of fun trying to get him healthy. I am thinking we are close. He is sleeping through the night again and seems to be even happier. If that is even possible!! We have been very lucky, we have heard horror stories from other parents.

Cooper's First Haircut

Cooper had his first haircut today, it is hard to tell from all the photos but he did have some good hockey hair going on in the back. It was time to trim it up. Needless to say he was not a fan.

how cute is this?
