Cooper and Mommy go to West Virginia

Mommy and I went to West Virginia. An 8 hour road trip! Mommy said I got an A+++++ because I absolutely was fantastic in the car considering my age. Thank goodness for the DVD player. If it wasn't for Nemo I think I might have gotten at least a C!

We visited my papw Ben for the first time since I was born. I have to say it was a wonderful visit. My Aunt Lisa and my cousins came and we had a slumber party at Papaw Ben's. We had a family wedding to attend, but we also had time to visit, watch movies and eat ice cream, play twister, play outside and more. Papw Ben cooked a very big breakfast for us too. I really ate alot. We also stayed in Charleston to shop and our mamaw came and stayed in the room with us. I personally had a fantastic time. And last but not least, we made an unexpected stop at Naunie Lindas where I ran and played outside, picked flowers, collected rocks and had fun playing with my moms dogs- Celie, Nettie and Rascal Flats.

We Have Been So Absent

I'm not sure where to even begin as we have been s absent. Cooper turns 18 months old on May 27th (just a few days from now!) so I thought it would be a good time to try and catch up somewhat. Cooper is saying "More" and signing things like more, eat, milk, all done, thank you and please. He is very tall and he is really independent and tries to do everything without help. He also loves shoes- and one of his favorite things to do is to take my high heels and wear them through the house!! It is very funny. His favorite shoes are my red patent leather high heels!

Happy New Year

Well Happy New Year! We spent several days at Neena and Pop Pops so that we could do Christmas with everyone and I had such a great time. I was such a lucky boy because I got lots of neat Christmas presents including my own Black and Decker tool bench from Neena and Pop Pop! I finally got to meet my newest cousin Abby. Mama and Aunt Colleen let my cousin Alex and me take a bath together and that was alot of fun too. My Aunt Kathy gave me my very first haircut and I think it looks really sharp. I am such a big boy!!! I am walking so much better and even try to run sometimes. We took at day trip with Neena, Aunt Kelly and my cousins Meghan and Luke to Monteluce Winery in Dahlonega where Pop Pop works too. It was such a great time!

Oh! I almost forgot to tell you my stats. I weigh 26lbs now. I went to the pediatrician for my 12 month appointment and they weighed me. I have both pre molars now and I still love my GEE! We are sitting at a table and chairs for our meal and snack time at school and we no longer sleep in cribs for nap time. We each have our own mat in the nap room. I say Gee, wave Hi and goodbye and I also say teeth and dog and point to my belly. My favorite all time food is Yo Baby yogurt and my mama Carrie's creation of Oatmeal and fruit. Talk to you later! Love, Cooper

Santa Visits Cooper

We spent time with Neena and Pop-Pop on Christmas Eve and then Santa came and visited me on Christmas Morning! He brought me the coolest ball. I think he loves Etsy like my mommy because he got it from a wonderful friend of my mommy's from Handmade pretties (www.handmadepretties.etsy.com). It soft and made of fleece, big and it has my name on it! I also got a few Leap Frog Toys and a dump truck.

We also took a drive to Lake Lanier to look at the lights- and I got to meet Santa. I was paralyzed once my mommy sat me on his lap and my tears shot straight out of my eyes. My moms said it looked like Charlie Brown.
