18 Months

I have an 18 month old. That's right, Cooper turned 18 months Nov 8th. I'm still processing it. Where has the time gone?!

Here are so fun facts about Cooper:

-Climbs onto the couch

-LOVES Trains 'toot toots,' Tractors 'ta-tor,' & Trucks

-Would only eat fruit all day, everyday if I let him, especially bananas 'nanas'

-12 teeth at the moment with more close to surfacing.

-Doesn't say "hi" much but is quick to wave & say 'bye bye'

-If you read him a book, yall are best friends & he expects you to read to him the remainder of the day.

-Says 25ish words & lots of animal sounds.

-"Sings" ABC's, Twinkle Twinkle, Itsy Bitsy Spider, Clean Up, & other random tunes he makes up.

-Enjoys any toy, instrument that makes music.

-Folds his arms when it's time to pray & says Amen.

-Has fun during bath time until it's time to wash his hair...you'd think we were trying to kill him.

-Likes to watch PBS TV 'deet deet' (Cat in the Hat, Curious George, Super Why, Sesame Street)

-Has started to count. (well he makes a noise for each number but hasn't a clue what the number is)

-Knows 8 body parts.

-Favorite animal at the moment is a Tiger.

-Loves to give hugs & kisses to Mom & Dad.

-Has so much fun in Nursery at church. (Who wouldn't love to play, eat snacks, & spend time with friends?)

-Doesn't eat vegetables unless they are secretly hidden in things like smoothies, eggs, quesadillas, etc.

-Has a "yum" sound when food is good whether he's the one eating it or not & an "ooOooo" sounds when something looks neat or fun.

-First 'hair cut' was the night before he turned 18months. It was just a trim by me. No more curly 'duck tail.'


Cooper is 32 inches tall (25-50%) & 28 pounds (85-95%) with a head circumference 51cm (off the charts).

LOVED the train pics Daddy brought home

next morning)

Exercised his right to vote.

We love you Cooper! Some of my favorite moments with you are when I get 'loves.' (hugs & kisses) It is also so sweet to cuddle up, read books, & then hold you just before nap/bedtime. & it's ridiculously cute when you use your imagination to make, eat, & share food. (always reminds me of the lost boys dinner scene in Hook)
