2.5

Cooper, you have grown so much in half a year since you've turned 2! You still love cars, trucks, buses, airplanes, helicopters, and tractors, but I think your love of trains has grown. Your new favorite book is The Little Engine That Could. You talk all the time- about anything and everything on your mind ~ today at breakfast you asked me if my teeth were going to fall out:) Then you told me that your friend Carter's teeth fell out....and that Caroline also lost her teeth (actually she just got her first one, Buddy).
You like to sing, but you're mostly a dancer. After your evening baths you like to make nightly appearances of "Naked Boy" streaking through the house. - Sorry, we've got lots of pictures.

My favorite phrases you've said:
"You awake Baby Girl?" ~ after Caroline's nap
"I'm reading my Bible." ~ when I told you story time was over and it was time for bed
"Thanks for cooking, Mama." ~ you learned that from Daddy

Things we're working on with you:
Using the potty, obeying the FIRST time Mommy and Daddy ask, your ABC Bible verses, sharing toys, asking "May I have...?" instead of "I want..."

You are such a special boy and you bring your family and friends so much joy! We love you, Cooper!

Wearing Daddy's hat...

And wearing Mommy's shoes:)

Oh my, he looks like such a young man! I'm so glad to hear that my son isn't the only one wearing mommy's shoes. They're just secure in their masculinity - I'm sure pink shirts are next.

LOL...I love him in your shoes with his hand on his hip. I love it! Sounds like fun time at the Cobbs pad.

Boys are so fun. And Caroline is such a cutie and growing so fast! Kyle's favorite book is also The Little Engine That Could. Do you have it memorized yet?
