Cooper turned 16 months old yesterday.
A sweet 16…although he was Mr. Grumps. All 4 canines are coming in at once.
The words he says:
Car, dada, shoes, ball, hat, cat, cracker, please, pretty, cracker, bread, dis & dat (this and that)
They don’t sound exactly how they are supposed to…we still find it super adorable.
He has said mama a few times…but prefers to call both Casey and I “dada.”
He LOOOVES watching cars outside. Seeing the garbage truck makes his day.
He has become a little master at the playground. He walks around like he owns the place!
Diving head first down the slide. Eep! He has no fear. Absolutely none. A thrill junkie from birth.
He is so happy watching other kids. He loves people. He loves being free.
We have fun together on our walks….and at the park.
He LOVES crackers. “Cah cah cah cah” is what he says when he sees them.
He has about 16 teeth now…it’s CRAZY. He’s a great eater, but still loves carbs BEST.
His long lashes kill me. Why do boys always have the longest lashes? It’s not fair.
He runs around the house chasing the cats, who are still terrified of him.
He likes checking himself out in the mirror. He’s always impressed! He loves dancing & enjoys a good beat.
He’s climbs up & on everything.
And reaches above to grab at things….
He is our sweet boy. Who never NEVER stops moving.
16 months has gone by too fast. But I am enjoying his growth.
He’s becoming a little man.

Aww. He’s a beautiful. I miss those days… they go by too fast.
He is SO adorable! My son turns one in a week’s time and I’m still astounded as to how much he has grown and how rapidly he’s growing!
Thank you for sharing. He’s lovely. really really. <3
*sniff* What a lovely collection, prettie. He says prettie!!! I can’t wait to see him again, I’m dying up here! xoxo
they grow so fast!!! He is absolutely adorable. I literally want to pinch his cheeks off!!
My daughter is a few months older than Cooper and she calls my husband “Daddy” and calls me “Cookie”. It’s an adorable mystery.
Cooper is too cute!
such a great testimonial to your lil man. when he is giving you grief in about 15 years, you should re-read this. love you both! xxoo
thank you everyone! i am so glad i can share my journey with you! I have to type this stuff out because I haven’t been good about keeping track of what he’s doing at each stage! I am so unorganized at this point!
xoxoxoxo
aw, what a beautiful child!! i love all these snapshots of him, he’s one happy baby!
OMG. loves.
Tracy – this brought tears to me eyes. My little guy just turned 3 and, while he is SO fun right now, I still think that 12-18 month span is my favorite. Such chub! Such personality. You are in trouble with that one! He is so sweet and your photos captured him perfectly. I so hope our little men get to meet someday soon. Oh yes, and both my boys have ridiculously long eyelashes. Grrr.
Thank you dana! your post the other day for Spencer’s bday was soo fun! I loved his chubby bumbo!! I really hope they get to meet one day too! are you going to blogher?
Tracy, I really love your site. I can really relate to you and what you chat about- thanks for putting it out there. Also, I too have a sweet little man, his name is Elliott and is just about to turn 4. Wow! Time really does fly- anyway, I thought I would pass along something that helped Elliott with his numbers when he was about the same age. Thomas the Tank Engine. You might have already figured it out, but my husband Lars and I realized that each engine has a different number and color, so by two he could count to ten by recognizing his favorites. Thomas #1, Edward #2, etc. So if you haven’t found this out yet- I hope it helps. I do recommend you investing in the wooden trains though. They are pretty sturdy, and you can buy tracks @ Ikea & Target brand- that will work with the trains. Best wishes!
thanks angela! that is such a good idea! thank you! Cooper LOVES trains right now.
