Getting So Big

Each day Coop does something that makes me say, "WOW. You are getting so big!" It makes me proud but a little sad at the same time. He really is getting so big! He is beginning to feed himself and of course wants to only use a real fork. He claps every time he gets something on the fork and something into his mouth. Makes for a long supper time but it is too cute.

YAY! He did it!

Look how proud he is!

Coop has ALWAYS been a Daddy's boy. I know he loves me but he LOVES his Dada! The other night we were eating supper and all he wanted to do was hold John's hand. This definitely made me smile. SO, John held his hand as he ate and Cooper smiled too! From ear to ear.

Cooper is getting so big that he no longer thinks he needs his diapers changed and HATES it! He tries to get up as soon as he can or he rolls and fusses the whole time. I think he really just wants to be on the move and usually without clothes. So, here he is so happy because he got up before I could snap his outfit back! It looks like he has on a dress and he thought it was SO funny!

We went to Cooper's 2nd Cardinals game this past Sunday. Cards vs. Twins.  John's good friend Kevin and his girlfriend, Megan, came along. It was a beautiful day with the temperature below 90*.  We were in a suite with this group in which John is on the Young Leader's Board. Needless to say, what a way to watch a game on a nice sunny Sunday afternoon! Coop only lasted through bottom of the 7th inning (way past nap time) but we/he had a blast! He loved being able to run around and not have to sit down the whole time. We loved that too. Coop's 1st Cards game was with Aunt Suzy, he was only 5 months old and lasted 45 mins. The music was a little too loud for him and all he wanted to do was eat. Now that he is older, we will definitely be going more often! He loved the music, clapping and of course, the pretzels!
