Cooper definitely has something to say....so listen up!!!!

Thanksgiving (and Uncle Judd love!)

Josh's family came in town from East Texas this year! It's always so exciting to see them since they live so far away! BUT....I think we've got a TG curse! Coop had RSV last Thanksgiving and he ended up with a tummy bug this year. He didn't eat a single bite of Nanny's yummy feast. He was going to spend the night with Gabby and Pa-Grumps at Nanny's, but we decided to bring him home in case he didn't sleep well! Maybe next year! Here are our TG pics from last year and this year!

Thanksgiving 2008 (not feeling good b/c of RSV)

Thanksgiving 2009

(not happy we sat down.)

Here are a few pics from this morning when Cooper discovered that Uncle Judd was in town! He is so mesmerized by him! Maybe he remembers the last time we were in East Texas he got to ride of the tractor with Judd!! I don't know what it is, but it's so darn cute!!!!

Battle Wound!

This is what we found on Coop's head when we picked him up from Sunday school today!!! His first battle wound! Some little girl was biting kids in the class and they couldn't figure out who it was until they saw her in action....Cooper was her fourth victim!! I can't quite figure out she got a hold of his forehead though!! He was probably leaning in for a kiss and got a love bite instead.

18 month stats

No pics....just stats!

Weight: 23.12 lbs.- 25%.

Length- 34 1/4 in. - 95%.

He's had a major growth spurt in the past 3 months. At 15 mo. he was 31 1/2 in. When I looked at his growth curve it looked like he shot straight up. He did that between 9 and 12 months and leveled out a bit at 15 months. But....he did it again! It was not a surprise! All of his 18 mo. pants are too short now!

Can you stay tall and skinny?!?

MOMMMA!!!!

I have longed to here Coop say Momma since the day we first met! Well, 18 months LATER...my little lover is finally calling me Momma!!!! He's been calling everyone else by their name for months, but not me! Momma is the sweetest word I have ever heard in my entire life! I'm beyond blessed to be the momma of this precious baby boy! God couldn't have made a more perfect match!

MOMMA and Cooper in the hospital!

Little Stinker!

I really wanted Coop to be a frog this year, but when I came across this costume, I had to have it! It matches his little personality so well! So cute.....but can be a real stinker sometimes!!!

Coop did not want to wear his hood at first!!

See...my little stinker side!!!!

Daddy trying to get me to wear my skunk hat!

I finally put it on and I got so many compliments on what a cute skunk I was! And I even helped pass out candy!
