Cooper's 1st Birthday

After pictures it was party time! I am still having a hard time believing that Cooper is 1 already! First of all I have never had a baby turn one and not have the next one already on the way! So, right now I am in uncharted territory! It really does seem like he was just a tiny baby, but he is one now! He has only been crawling for a month now and I honestly believe that it is because Nick and Chloe never let him do his own thing. They are constantly moving him from one room to the next and upstairs and then back down again. He is finally back to his happy little self after 8 ear infections. I new that my happy baby was there somewhere! He is talking up a storm, mostly just jibber-jabber, but he does say mama and dada. Just this morning he started standing up in his crib when I go in to get him, and pulling himself up on the furniture. He started giving kisses and is my sweet little mama's boy! We are so blessed to have him in our family.

We just had a small party at my mom's house. I made cupcakes (which he loves!) and we gave out M&M's to the kids because they are Cooper's favorite. I am sure you are thinking how can he have a favorite candy all ready, but it is true! My mom always has a candy dish on the counter with holiday colored M&M's and in the last month or so Cooper has learned that. As soon as we walk in the door he holds out his hands and whines until we go get a treat! Smart boy!!!
