Growing Up: He has many new words- too many for me to keep track of! He has learned to sign sorry, and we have one new tooth (lower canine). We are almost done teething.. woo hoo! He has also learned how to go downstairs without any help. And he can now tiptoe! Cooper has also started using two word sentences and saying two syllable words (Kate Kate and Daaaa-eeee being the favorite words). His sentences are so cute and surprise us each time! Examples: Go inside, Hey cat!, hey Kate Kate!, kick tv (said with only t). He can also identify the color blue most of the time.
Likes: being outside 'side', washing his
hands, books, coloring, sweeping, chips, repeating our
words, finding something to sit on, climbing, wearing his hats, coat, shoes, and/or mittens around constantly, play dough, bubbles, stacking blocks, sitting on the potty, books, banana, Mr. Potato head ('Toe!'), The Gruffalo ('LO!')- book and short movie on Netflix
Dislikes: diaper changes, riding in the car, getting teeth, long hairs on him, being naked, bath time
Schedule: We are in between one and two naps..

We have been fighting a 5 am wake up time, and I think it is getting better! There have been days where he slept til 7:45! Of course, then he is confused where daddy is all day since he doesn't get to see daddy before work. We still have some early mornings, but slowly it is getting there.
Moments: First Christmas Day with all 3 of us, sat on Santa's lap again, pee peed on the potty for the first time, Santa came for the first time (he wasn't feeling well last year) and he LOVED opening gifts
A couple of funny stories:
Cooper asked for a banana 'nana' for breakfast. I peeled him one and threw the peel away. Cooper thought I threw away the banana and LOST it. Poor fella.
Coop kept saying 'coat' while we were eating. When he was finished, we cleaned him up and put him down. He went to the hooks and grabbed his coat and daddy's coat. He brought them to J. J put his coat on and put Coop's coat on him. Coop looked and me, said 'bye', and turned around and walked to the door. He wanted to go outside!!
