MERRY CHRISTMAS!

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!! Wish you a wonderful holiday season, and a fabulous 2011!!!
SO, Santa was a bust!!! Cooper had stranger danger anxiety for sure!!! I had to laugh though because he was still pretty cute, even while crying profusely. Thank goodness Santa was a very tolerant and patient person!
Still not having it
Didn't even want to look at the camera
He did however, LOVE the candy stockings. His idea of a good time was taking them from the table, and giving them to everyone.
See, one at a time to whoever was closest
Scott, teased him and lead him towards Santa...
Cooper fell for it....
Nope, Santa turned to say Hi, and Cooper was outta there like nobody's business!!
Andy got this pic under the table!
Our little tree and our little man!
First ornament going up... Cooper's of course!
Reindeer!
HAM!!!

This and That...

So, I think this post will semi-make up for the long hiatus I have taken. We have been very busy these past few months. I have been skating at Knott's Berry Farm. It feels so great to be back on the ice, but I do miss being with Cooper. At least these past few weeks, I have had days off in a row. Starting Friday, it's skate skate skate! Gonna be a busy few weeks with Christmas and all. I am not done with shopping, which I usually am by now, so I am a little panicky.
Cooper is doing well!! He is walking all the time.... no more crawling. It is walk...fall...walk...crash into something....walk....bump head on something. Since he has started full time walking, he always has a bruise somewhere on his face. I feel bad for that kid, BIG head...little feet equals totally top heavy! He's adapting little by little. He is SUPER smart!! I can't even fathom how his brain works. He says BAAAAALLLL, in an excited tone and hands us any one of his numerous toy balls. He says "ahahaha" like a sheep. He knows where his hats and socks go when you hand them to him.... and he even wipes up his messes! He LOVES to throw things in trash cans. He makes anything a phone and holds it to his ear. He brings his toy toolbox over, and will then proceed to dig up the toy hammer, screwdriver, wrench and saw in his toy pile and bring those over to play with. He plays Marco Polo with his "Uh - Oh" vocabulary.... he says "UH" I say "OHHHH," and then he comes to my voice. He invented that game! He is starting to get the seperation anxiety a bit, but gets over it. (I think I am getting it a bit too...) He still LOVES to clap when he hears clapping on tv (especially Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy). He does OH NO, P U (stinky), piggy face, Yay (hand clap), finger snapping, and directions when asked. He's so smart... I have to brag a little. I don't think I did those things at all!!!
Anyways, we went to Disneyland with my family, and we got some pretty good pictures....
I just realized Andy looks slightly weird in this pic...a little possessed! But, I was so happy to get the pretty castle and our faces BOTH lit up...must be the GREAT camera Andy got me!!
Just a neat picture... we were in the absolute front of the castle with not a single person in front of us!! It was amazing!!!
Happy Boy
Inside Club 33!
"Oh NO!"
Before we went into Club 33...Cooper looks a bit distressed
He liked to push his stroller from the bottom, until he fell on his face!
My Dad was whistling and Cooper LOVED it
It was the giant "C" (for California) but I cropped it so you could see Cooper and Mickey...and Andy too!
Avery visited for a bit to say Hi... and they help hands!! Awwwww cute!!
Ya, putting up Christmas decorations with Cooper.... he tried to help... keyword: TRIED...

Happy Halloween!!!




Happy Halloween!!!  We had a good time this year, and can't wait for next year when Cooper will be able to walk around and trick-or-treat himself!!!  Andy was off one day this past week, so we got the pumpkin carved that day.  Andy designed it, modeled after Coop and his front teeth!  We barely got any seeds out of it, sad.  Anyways, Cooper got a lot of candy... and I found out that he LOVES suckers!!! 

Whoa, what are you doing... I don't know if I like it!
Let me get it Dad
Yay!
YODA!!!  Cooper was Yoda for Trunk-or-treat....he was so cute!
Luke Skywalker and his Master, Cooper...I meant, Yoda!
Yes, I dressed up too... I wore my high school graduation gown, mom came up with the idea, and it was PERFECT!
Such a dork
He is such a little man... I had to get a pic of his tie because I love it!
Hated being in the spider at first
Starting to like it
Pumpkin patch like last year, minus Andy
My baby boy!
Out of all the candy he got at the village, he chooses out the coupons...crazy kid
Happy Spider!
Still happy....
Sees the candy....
Rummaging through all the candy
So much!!  And, the Snicker bar does have money wrapped around it.  Our neighbors are awesome!!  I cannot believe how much he got...filled up the Mickey pumpkin and then some.  He was such a good sport, he was pretty much the perfect kid today!  I am so lucky!!

BDAY cont...


I look at Cooper every morning and still think to myself, "Geez, I can't believe he came out of me!"  He's getting bigger by the minute, and smarter by the second.  The other day, my Dad was snapping with both his hands to get Cooper's attention, and then Cooper tried snapping.  It was so cute.  My Dad moved his hands up and down while snapping, and Cooper tried... he looked like he was milking a cow, very funny!!  But, he is mimicking lots of things.  He takes wobbly steps, but still likes crawling better.  He likes to take off his pants and get onto his new rocket.  He is so weird.  He still makes incredibly funny faces, especially if he doesn't like the food we give him.  He knows when we get to my parent's house because he starts to bark...guess he knows he is going to see Kronk and Mochi!  He is my little Cooperman, such a cutie!!
