My Little Musician

The other day I pulled out some pots and pans for Cooper to play some music on. I hadn't ever done this before. I had no idea what Cooper would do. I had to prepare myself for the noise as well. Once Cooper discovered what he should do he went to town! He loved it. Of course Cooper wanted mom to join in :) We had these out for a couple of hours and just played some music. These are the little memories that I just love!

The many faces of Coop

Cooper has so many different faces he makes and crazy things that he does with his mouth. He was in a crazy mood and was being so silly. I could just sit and watch him be silly and he loves showing off. Being the mom I am I of course had to pull out the camera and capture it all!

Mellowed out for a minute with dad but was still being a cheeser :)

Look at those amazing eyes!

Waffles

So I recently introduced Cooper to waffles and syrup. He has had waffles and pancakes before but never with syrup. Surprising right??? For how much sugar I give my child you would think he would get syrup all of the time :) It was just too messy for my liking considering everything that gets put on his tray ends of all over him and the floor. But the other morning I gave him a cup of syrup to dip in. He has discovered dipping things into sauces and feels so big doing it. He did awesome and didn't make too big of a mess. He finished his whole waffle he loved it so much! I just can't believe how big and independent he is getting.

Cooper is quite the crazy baby. He never holds still and is always on the go. Here are a few of his crazy moments that I have caught in the last little bit.

When I got him up from his nap this is what he looked like. As you can see he didn't sleep long enough and was still grumpy!

Coop and Buddy best buds ever

No obstacle is too big for Cooper

Always toppling over because he has no fear of anything and gets a
little crazy and of course he loves to make messes!

Is pro at throwing fits! He learned this right around when he turned one. He does the whole lay on the ground flailing thing with a little hitting involved.

Loves stickers

He is still a little monkey and crawls up anything.
The second the fridge opens he attacks!

Still is completely content wearing no clothes. If he could go around in just shoes and socks all day he would be happy!

Turn Baby Turn

Cooper has learned how to twirl around in circles. It is so funny to watch. He will just start doing it and it makes him giggle so hard and he loves it. Brad will even spin around with him and Cooper loves it! Here is a video I caught of Coop twirling.

November in Pictures and Videos

I have had so many things to post about this past month but I have gotten so busy and haven't had a chance. So here is November in Pictures and Videos.

Still obsessed with the kennel and this is Cooper's new way of eating. He just holds it in his mouth as he eats it. He can't be kept from playing just to eat.......no way!
My mom brought this in while she was watching Cooper a few weeks ago and we can't put it back in the garage.
He sits in it and will just hang out and asks to be pushed around the house all day long!

Lounging

He found the oven mitt drawer. They are his favorite toy. He carries them around and puts them on his own hands. It's hilarious!
Oven Mitts!



Hanging with daddy
He brought me his shoes and made me put them over his footie pajamas. He walked around for hours like this. Only Cooper reads and rides his car at the same time.
Hanging in his favorite chair........with his shoes :)

Just shows a little of Cooper's crazy side


Tunnel fun
Cake pops at Emmett's 1st birthday

So the water line in our freezer froze so wouldn't make ice or dispense water. This is how Brad tried fixing it. He taped cardboard to keep the cold in but let the door thaw. I was dying laughing and needless to say it didn't work :)

Buddy and Cooper are still best buds

Thanksgiving 2011

Thanksgiving went really well this year. It all started off with Brad having an extra long weekend. He has a lot of vacation days that he has to take before the end of the year or he loses them. So we are going to have Brad home a lot for the rest of the year. He had last Wednesday thru Monday off of work. It was so fun having him home! Cooper loves when daddy is home because he is so fun! I had a lot of errands and appointments so it was perfect because Cooper had a lot of daddy time!

We went to Thanksgiving dinner at my grandma and grandpa's house. We were in charge of bringing a pie so Brad made his famous pumpkin cheesecake. It is so yummy!

Helping Daddy cook

Thanksgiving was much different then last year. Cooper is no longer the only baby in the family. There are now 3 little boys. It is so much fun!

Holden, Asher and Cooper

My mom got Cooper this shirt so we had to get a picture of him with my grandma.
It says "My grandma makes the best turkey".

Cooper figured out to turn this old radio on and then he kept turning it all the way up.
We didn't even know that it still worked!

After Thanksgiving dinner my family all came back to my house. My mom had some stuff to give Cooper and Holden. They each got a couple pairs of Christmas pajamas, they got some Christmas window clings, a reindeer stuffed animal, and each family got a nativity scene. Opening presents made it officially feel like the Christmas season.

I have so many things to be thankful this year! Here just a few because my list could go on forever!

• an amazing family
• the most adorable little boy who is perfect in every way
• a husband who is so helpful and provides an amazing life for me and Cooper
• The chance to be a mom
  
• a comfortable home of our own
• I get to be a stay at home mom
• great friends
• a really fun calling
• great neighbors
• I'm a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints
• the cutest little puppy
• a very comfortable life

Sometimes I think to much about what I want or I don't have and forget to remember all the things I do have in my life. I love this time of year because I get to think and be reminded of all of my blessings.

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!!!!
