Pink and Peonies: March 2012

Sweet Boys

Have I said lately that I am a blessed woman? God has given me two sweet boys to take care o fme and pick me up on bad days. I was having one of those sad days and just needed to take a nap and start the day over again. My sweet Bobby offered to watch Cooper so that could happen. When I woke up, this was planted outside the playroom window for me! My sweet, sweet boys.

St Patty's Day

And this my friends, is the best picture I could get. Action packed little booger won't hold still for a second!

Cooper is 16 months!

Wow! Life has been busy. I can't believe my little baby boy is already 16 months. He is starting to look more like a boy that a baby and that makes me a little sad. Life is too fast sometimes. Coop kicked off 16 months with his new found skill, walking. He has been really taking his time with it and finally got the confidence to get out on his own. We think he has preferred crawling over walking because he is such a fast crawler. So fast, I should be entering him into the Speed Crawling category at the Olympics! He is definitely his fathers son and thinks efficiency at every turn in life. I am grateful for this since I sometimes go around the bush a few times before I get where I am going.

Cooper still has only 4 teeth but that doesn't seem to stop him from eating anything and everything in sight. And to think he had texture issues a few months ago! Not anymore! He is a human garbage disposal. The grocery bills when he is 15 are already knocking on my door.

He know how to say a lot of words and can point to all the animals when you quiz him. He loves to wave at EVERYONE. Everywhere. This is sweet and I hope his friendly personality sticks. He will give big slobbery MUAAAHHs on your cheek if you are extra special....or if you are a dog. Gross right? But what do you do.

Cooper is still a solid sleeper, about 12-13 hours a night. And not so much interested in the idea or action of nap time. Another thing he got from Daddy!

Coopers Favorite Things

He loves to swing at the park and at home!

Riding his bike. Even though he can't reach the pedals, he still steers and drinks his water!

Our newest hobby. Going really FAST with Daddy in the jogging stroller!

I'm sure you noticed everything is outside. Cooper wants to be outside every moment of his life, rain or shine. He stands at the door and yells outside until someone finally gives in and takes him. Sometimes he has to settle for peering outside longingly through the doggy door. It's not a rough life. Really, the kids got it good.
