Coopers DAY!

So because Spencer is down at NaNa's I really have time to focus on Cooper! We are going to be working on his words today! But I thought it might also be fun to write down a little bit about him! He is really coming into his personality and deciding what things he likes and doesn't like (those things usually end up thrown across the room:) So here we go...
ALL ABOUT COOPER:
He loves to play with balls! He has such a good arm and can throw almost as far as Spencer! If he is in a fussy mood and I find a ball, he is suddenly excited and will play catch forever! It is really funny because he usually laughs at himself right after he throws it, as if he is congratulating himself for doing such a good job!He has 2 favorite toys right now, I think he likes them so much because he can MAKE things happen while he plays with them! Cause and effect! Last night he kept bringing both of them out in the living room! He wanted to show us how good he was at pushing all the buttons!He has just started making the revving noise when he plays with cars! It is so cute! It sounds a little more like a growl but he is working on it!

He loves to climb up EVERYTHING! I think it has to do with his desire to be big like brother! But he is so strong, he can get up anything! One of my favorite examples is the way he gets on the couch! EVERY time he gets on the couch he goes around the couch in the corner, up the kids table and over the arm of the couch! He is just such a monkey!

Oh he as also recently become OBSESSED with watching me do things! He pulls the stool (or whatever he can climb up) over to the counter in the kitchen or in the bathroom when I am getting ready! He is fascinated with watching us!!! He is really a watcher, or stalker which ever!!! :)
He wants to be big like Spencer so badly! Every time we do a craft he tries so hard to participate! Last night we worked on coloring! He is still getting the hang of it! The marker usually ends up all over the palm of his hand, in his mouth or all over his body! Last night it was his forehead! Silly guy!
But his most favorite thing by far is the computer! If I try to sneak in to check on something, or BJ is working on homework.... he is there! Even if no one on the computer and the door is open.... he is there! We have started having to hid the key board because he has done a few crazy in regards to rearranging the desktop and changing settings! He just LOVES it! He will sit in my lap and giggle at each new image that flashes on the screen! He loves to push buttons (GRRRR) and of course he loves watching videos of him and Spencer! He just laughs and laughs! If I try to ignore him when he comes in the room, he will turn the chair around and cry hysterically until I pick him up to sit and watch! It is defiantly his favorite thing!I also have to mention his funny habit of BEGGING for food! The best example of it is in the morning! I have tried sitting him down and giving him cereal, fruit, pop tarts, toast, eggs! You name I've tried it! But all he wants to do (ESPECIALLY at breakfast) is eat everyone else's! He WILL NOT eat cereal out of his bowl, but he LOVES to eat mine, or BJ's! He just sits on the table and STARES at you, whining occasionally until you give him a bite! At dinner or lunch he really enjoys sitting and eating with his fork! But not at breakfast! He is also really bad a begging when it comes to POPSICLES! He wont even finish swallowing before he is whining and pleading for more! It is something that is uniquely Cooper!He is DANGEROUSLY ADDICTED to his binkie! I don't know how we are going to separate him! And I don't really want to think about it right now!
He could eat forever! Lots of times he out eats Spencer! But he is really skinny! Lucky kid got blessed with a great metabolism! I wish I knew where he got it! DARN IT! His favorite things to eat are green beans, rice, Popsicles, SNOW CONES,and fruit snacks! (great variety I know!)He loves to cuddle! A few times a day he will just come up to me and stand at my feet till I pick him up to cuddle! He is very tender hearted!

He loves his DAD! He gets SO excited every time BJ walks through the door! Like I mentioned earlier, he is a bit of a stalker! And if BJ is home Cooper will find him! He loves to be close to his Dad!There is so much more I could write! He is growing up so fast and turning into such a great little man! He is only 18 months old and already we are completely in love with him!
