Now where to begin! You are quite the silly boy and you make dad and I smile often with your cuteness! You are such a smart little boy and your speech keeps improving. You can now sing the ABCs and recite snippet of songs (I've even caught you singing to yourself). You surprised me the other week when you started counting and made it all the way to 10! Way to go buddy!! You have your own big-boy bed now, and some of your bedtime shenanigans include clearing your bookshelf into your bed and most recently turning the light on (I have a sneaky suspicion you hear your brother getting in trouble for certain things and you start them up). You still aren't great at knowing colors, and continue to think most are "green." You've taken to some new shows, Super Wings and PJ Masks which you (along with your brother) request to watch constantly! You got some Super Wings characters for Christmas and you know all their names and the show catch-phrases.
You still request milk often, but you sure don't love it like you used to. Eating is hit or miss at home, but you seem to eat well at daycare. Also at daycare you just started potty training! You get the idea of what you need to do, but not enough to take the diapers away yet. We just went to do the doctor for a check-up and you sure are a little thing (like your momma) coming in at 10% in height and 30% in weight for your age. You are in 2T shirts, anywhere form 18-24m to 2T pants and size 7 shoes.
You love your brother (for the most part) and are so excited to go to his room at daycare when I pick you up. You request to hold Carson's hand when walking places and you are very fond of Snyder too. You are our snuggly kid and are so sweet and tell us, I love you Mom, or I miss Dad and I miss Carson tonight (I let you sleep together one night). But I think your favorite phrase, that you've been saying for quite sometime, is "hold you" which is your declaration for someone to pick you up! You want so badly to do everything your brother does, but you also have your moments where we find you playing by yourself at the train table.
Since turning 2, you've taken an airplane ride to Texas and California which is also where you saw the ocean for the first time! Since then you request, almost daily, to go on vacation on an airplane to the ocean :) The other thing you talk frequently about whenever I ask if you want to go to a store is Santa! You were not excited to see him, but you talk quite fondly of him and always say you'd sit on his lap. Maybe next year!
You are such a sweet boy and our family would not be complete without you. We love you Coop, Coopie, Coop-a-doop, Cooper monster!
