Sorry!!

I just wanted to apologize for the lack of blogging this past month, I swear I have a good reason!! I will post something fun and new soon, possibly when my active child decides to take a nap (and I decide not to...heehee!) Be on the look out!!

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!!

Rocket time!!

I can't wait for him to use this... I'm sure he can though!

CareBear!!

He was awake from 10am until 630pm the day of his party.  He passed out!

CAT truck

He didn't really like the cake I made him...oh well

Can't see Cooper behind the big cake

PiggyFace at Grandpa Tony

SPARKLER!!!

Dumb pinata didn't work. LAME

Cooper loved wearing Andy's glasses...a little too big though

Black eye #1

Here is the first black eye... he was crawling too fast on the hardwod floor and ate it bog time onto the circular-ish cutting board.  Then, about 5 min later... he ate it again on the floor.  I laughed so hard, Coop stopped crying when I was laughing.

My baby boy is 1!!!

Cooper turned one!!  I can't believe that a whole year has gone by.  It is crazy, a good crazy.  This past year went by fast and furious... It was filled with loads and loads of memories...99% good of them great!  It is so weird that he is no longer an infant, Cooper is a toddler!!

The whole family sang Happy Birthday, Cooper was not so happy with us...even with his bottle in hand!

He got so many new toys!

Ya, takes after his dorky Uncle Jimmy

Aww, laughing at Disneyland

Just had to share

Cooper talks a lot when he eats... sometimes he won't stop, as caught on camera of us eating at Cheesecake Factory.  We really did try to have a peaceful lunch!

August...

Happy Boy!!

The infamous "piggy face"

See his teeth?  There are 4 more on top

Our only family pic from Hans' wedding

August was a fun month!  We attended Uncle Hans' wedding (and made a vacation out of it in San Diego). We went to Mtn. Top Days.  We went to the O.C. Fair.  We played at home... we had a good month!  Cooper is a little over 11 months now, and I remember exactly what I was doing and thinking a year ago before he entered our lives!  It is crazy to think Coop has been around for a year almost.  Times really, really does fly when you are blessed with a good baby!  He is starting to get more vocal these days.  He found his screaming powers, and he utilizes them when he is excited about eating!  He is also talking A LOT lately!!  Coop has found out how to open drawers, doors, and other things too.  Walking is just around the corner...oh goody!

Coop and me at Moonlight Beach in San Diego

Coop looking at his name

Daddy and the Coop Coop

I had to put this picture in here, as Andy said... it is one of the saddest faces ever!

This is how Grandma Ann dresses him!! Well, I asked her to put on the vest to see if it still fit, and she just left it on him! It still fits!

Monkey feet!

Mtn Top Days...Cooper's first ride in a fire engine!
