What's up with Cooper lately

I think I have said it before but our little chunky baby has become our little man. Just in the past few weeks he has learned so much. Sometimes I get worried that I wont remember all the little things that he does and I'm trying to document as much as we can. Luckily this day in age we have iphones, the flip, and digital camera's.

Some of Coopers most recent things:

• He loves giving kisses. Usually we ask him to give us a kiss and he leans in with his mouth wide open. Lately he has just been doing it on his own and boy let me tell you he is such a cuddler!
• Talking..talking..talking all the time. While driving in the car he is sitting back there blabbing away. His new word he is trying to say is Dog
• Cooper loves to eat. Lately though he also knows that he can drop his food and Holland will eat it. So our new job is teaching Cooper not to feed the dog.
• He isnt walking yet but man does that kid move. He crawls so fast sometimes I wonder if his knees are going to be sore later in life.
• He loves to swing. We put up a swing in the backyard which is very nice and conveinent. So lately its been so nice outside we have been able to do yardwork, play with Holland and have Coop be outside with us.
• Our son is such a sweetheart. I know he is young but I already can see him being someone who is very attentive to others feelings. He loves to share his toys with others and constantly is giving to Holland. They love to be together and honestly I find them back in Coopers room alone playing with his toys. Cooper with play with them then give them to Holland. It brings a big smile to my face.
• I love all of his facial expressions. I cant even start to list them all. He has one for when he is trying to listen to what we are saying, or the way he looks at me when he knows he isnt suppose to touch that, or the smile he gets when he sees his Daddy come home from work. Two of my favorite looks is one when he knows he is being funny and I cant help but laugh at him and two when he is being shy and very lovey (watch out girls) I just want to capture every expression he makes or noise but I know that its impossible and I am excited to see these emotions become more of who he is.

I could go on forever about Cooper and who he is and how excited we are for his future but something I have learned this past year is to really live in the present. I may not be the perfect Mom or do what everyone else is doing, but I feel like I know my son and all I can do is love him, teach him and be with him {which I feel so blessed to wake up and get to spend all day with him}
