16.5 Months

Here's what new:
  • Cooper started Tumble Tunes at Romp-n-Roll last weekend. It's a music class for toddlers - and he seemed to really like it! As active as he is, I was surprised at his willingness to sit still and pay attention for most of the "sitting" time. Of course, he loved playing in the gym. But his very favorite part was the end when they turned on the bubble machine (gotta love that little girl, too)...






  • He also enjoys opening and closing doors, especially if you're willing to "hide" behind the door.  Great entertainment value!


Hmmm....ketchup or mayo?

Getting good at being "gentle"
  • Games of any kind are a hit - hide and seek, chase, laundry basket rides...
Fun with a paper towel holder (under his shirt)
  • Recently, he's been getting more practice with a spoon and fork.  I hate the mess that this involves (but I'm trying to let it go)!!!



  • Language explosion is coming! He's trying so hard yet most of his "talking" is a foreign language.  The last few days, he has said "hey" and "hi" over and over again.  Fun process to watch.

That's it for now!

Visit with friends

Two of my dear friends from college, Kim and Nikole, came down for the day last weekend and we had a blast.  Cooper loved spending time with them and shared his silly laugh (along with a good dose of fussiness)all day. While he napped and Jason took over childcare duties, we had some fun girl time with pedicures.  Wish we got to see each other more often!

 Thanks for making the trip down, girls!
