18 months old!

Cooper turned 18 month old on April 12, 2010. I can't believe my baby is growing up so fast. He is a fun loving happy little boy! He has been a blessing to us all and we love him so much.

Stats:

Height: 31.5 inches (25%)
Weight: 22 lbs (10%)

Cooper has favored his left side ever since he was 3 months old. Now that he has been walking for 3 months his right side leg and arm/hand don't seem to be as developed as his left side. So his doctor wants him to be seen by a neurologist to see what's going on. To tell the truth, I'm a little worried. But, until then we will be positive and pray that nothing serious is wrong.

There are so many things that I love about Cooper. I love how he is so persistent and doesn't give up. I love how he tries to be independent, wanting to do things for himself, but will ask for help when he needs it. I love how he blows me kisses as I say goodbye to him at daycare. I love his sweet little high pitched voice as he sings songs. I love how he is learning to talk and has a new word almost everyday. I love that when I'm sick he will come give me a kiss to make me feel better. I love how he pretends to sneeze after I sneeze and then says bless you. I love the way he wrinkles his nose and tries to wink. I love the way he is so kind and kisses all my "owies" so they feel better. I even love how he smiles at me when he wakes up at 6 AM. It makes getting up that early worth it. He makes me laugh everyday. I am so blessed to have the best little boy!
