Cooper is 1!

So it is a little late, but Cooper turned 1 on March 21st! I know a whole year has passed! Here are some things about what he is doing right now. He is sort of walking. If you make him he will take about 8-9 steps, but he still prefers to crawl. He will get moments of bravery and just take off though, he has no balance, and so here is one of his nice cheek meets corner of wall moments.

He is always making some kind of sound now. Most of the time it is Oh, Oh. Especially when he gets excited or sees Dad come home. He can say Mama, Dada, baba (bottle), and another baba for bye. He has also just started to say what we think is hi. He just started waving really good and gives great kisses :) He is still my cuddly little boy and loves to lay his head on anything, whether it is your shoulder, leg, blanket, or floor and say AAHHH. Of course he is at that stage of getting into everything. If the doors are open his favorite places to go are in Malia and Gunner's room, he knows there is always some fun stuff for him to put in his mouth in there. His next favorite place is in the bathroom, he is fast and he always heads straight for the bathtub to knock down the shampoo and soap.
He is also throwing some really awesome 2 year old tantrums. The throw back your head to the ground and kick your legs tantrums. He is starting a little young I think, hopefully that isn't a sign of what's to come when he actually gets into that stage. I like to say he feels things deeply, when he gets mad, you know he's mad. When he is happy, you hear laughs and giggles at anything.
He is still a Daddy's boy, but a moma's boy too. He is really big with the seperation anxiety right now. Does not like strangers, or even grandpa and grandma's.

He is a really good little eater, and eats pretty much everything that we eat. He loves meat though, which is different because I have two other little vegetarians.

He hates having his diaper changed, well, I don't think it is as much as hating the diaper changed as he doesn't want to lay still for me to change his diaper. It is a struggle every time! With a lot of crooked diapers.

He still has just his top 4 teeth and bottom 2. I need to get a picture of it close up. For some reason, he gets A LOT of comments on his teeth. I am not sure why. Everyone always says "Oh look at all those teeth!" But I think they are cute because his 2 bottom teeth together almost equal the space between his top front teeth. He also has a little snaggle tooth because one of the top side ones is longer than the rest.

He loves his binkie and loves loves his blanket. Which I think is really nice because you give him his binkie and blanket and he will go to sleep so easy! I am loving his schedule right now. He sleeps from 8:00pm until 9:00am or sometimes after when I have to go get him up to get going for the day. Then will take a 1 to 1 1/2 hour nap at 11:00. Then will take another 2 hour nap after we get Malia from school.

Here are some pictures of his little party.

This is his Oh, Oh face.

He loves to crawl into tight spaces, under a chair, behind the couch. He loves hiding spaces like his brother and sister. So he got a cute little tunnel for his birthday and he loves it!

He wasn't timid with the birthday cake.

I am not sure exactly how much he weighs, but I think it is around 20 lbs. We go to the Dr. next week to get his stats.
