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...
