Cooper - 2 Years 4 Months

I thought I would take a minute to update everyone on all things Cooper.

Right now he is 2 years and 4 months old, and so active. He goes to school 2 days a week at the same preschool Drew attended. He loves school, and his teacher says he really likes music and stretch and grow. He does not, however, like art much, especially if they are painting or doing anything messy. At home, if he gets his hands dirty he will hold it out to me and say "mess", which means "Mommy, please clean my hands." He laughs a lot, loves to chase his brother around the house, loves to cuddle, usually has a toy car in one hand (or both hands), thinks he is one of the big kids, loves church, and really likes having the house to himself when Drew is at school. He is really starting to talk a lot. He has new words and phrases everyday, but won't say his own name. If we ask "can you say Cooper?" he just shakes his head and says "nooooo", and laughs. He is in his big boy room upstairs now, but is still in his crib. He sleeps really well, and enjoys playing in his crib, so we aren't in any hurry to move him. I can't believe he hasn't tried to get out yet. He loves learning his letters, and can pick most of them out when asked. We are still working on colors. He calls everything "red". Sometimes I think he knows and is just messing with me, but who knows. I am not too worried, he will get it.

Here are a few pictures I took a few days ago. He was running around me in circles, so most of the ones I took were blurry, but here are a few good ones.

We love his kid so much. I can't wait to see his personality continue to change over the next few years. He is such a sweet, funny, smart boy. What a ray of light he has been these last 2 + years. We LOVE you Cooper.
