[23]

In one month, we will have a two year old!  Wow!

Clothes: 12 months & 18 months for shorts, 24 months & 2T for shirts

Growing Up: Cooper is using more and more two syllable words.  I am now mommy most of the time!  He can climb up and down the horse all by himself now, and usually goes up and down more than he rides it. Coop has also started identifying pink and orange correctly most of the time!  He has learned to open doors, which has led to a few surprises!!!  He can recognize the letters C, O, P, M, Q, Y, and Z.  Coop also goes both up and down the stairs by himself.  While he's been able to do it for a while, he insisted on holding someone's hand.  Now, if there's something upstairs he wants, he just goes to get it!

Likes: playing outside, Daniel Tiger, watching the cars and trucks go by, putting things in the trash, sweeping, books, being outside, unscrewing lids, playing peek a boo,  being naked, coloring, bananas, pretending to take naps, listening for planes, driving (a car, the tractor, his car, whatever), taking a shower, 'helping' us paint, being naked (he will tell us he needs to potty so he can shake off his pants and underwear and run around), saying "Amy"

Dislikes: being dirty, you not doing what he tells you, coming inside, having to quit driving, riding in the car

Moments:

Coop made it through his first really long road trip.  He saw new states (VA, WV, MD, DE, and DC-which isn't a state but it counts!).  He saw wild horses on the beach, and he fed geese in DC.  He rode on a train for the first time and had a complete meltdown in the Air & Space Museum because there were no paper towels in the bathroom.  I still need to post those pictures!  This past month has been very eventful for Coop!

Funny Story:
We were eating breakfast Saturday morning (French Toast and bacon).  He tries the bacon, spits it out, and says, "Gross!"  I think he didn't like how crispy it was, but it was still funny.  Who doesn't like bacon?!

Coop loves to count up to things...1,2,3...6 (Jump! or Slide! or Plop!, etc)
