Cooper Thomas: 16 Months


{Sweet} little Cooper! Well you aren't so sweet all the time right now because you are going through another teething spout. I think you've only got a handful of teeth left to come in so hopefully it all ends soon! But when you are teething, you do give extra hugs and want to be held more so I will take the cuddles, just not while I'm trying to make dinner.

You are starting to follow directions a little better but still like to throw your tantrums. Recently you've started saying 'here' which sounds more like "hee" and you'll give us an object or gesture for me to get you something. You also will come up to us and throw your arms up demanding do be picked up. You L-O-V-E playing outside so daylight savings hasn't been too fun for you since we can't really play outside when you get home from daycare. Your favorite think to do is push the riding toys but you also enjoy scooping rocks and jumping on the trampoline. You have fun with your brother but only to a certain extent. You guys like running around the house and playing in the tent/tunnel the most and your guys' laugh makes my heart melt. The only downside to this month is you were on the wrong end of some biting incidents at daycare but thing seem to be getting better! But you are a adventurers little dude so we still get plenty of incident reports of falls/bumps/scrapes you get.

You're definitely taking more after mom than dad and you are a teeny little guy. 12 month pants still don't fit you in the waist so it's fun trying to find pants for you! We always thought you and your brother looked so much alike as babies, but that sure has changed now. We can't wait to see your personality grow more this next month. Love you monkey!
