We had an amazing first christmas together as a family. We were able to celebrate with both of our families and really enjoyed our time together. Cooper had a great time. I think his favorite thing was all of the paper. He got a little overwhelmed with the presents - mainly because i think they got in his way of crawling all over the room. He has mastered his crawl and can really get moving. He got a 'walker' for christmas and really enjoys crusing around it. He also got his first truck and pushed that thing around and around grandma/grandpa's house - for at least a half hour. He also got his first sled and had a wonderful time sledding w/ his cousin Madison. He really enjoyed sledding - except when the snow got in his face. (Yes we did tape his pants to his shoes to help prevent the snow from getting in there - kinda ghetto i know!) 
Coop is turning into quite the eater too - he will eat anything he can get his hands on. And he loves it too - you can tell from his pictures that he is getting a budda belly on him! :) We just wish he could drink from his sippy cup a little better...
Coop has mastered the words 'mama' and 'dada' he has many other sounds but nothing we can make out quite yet. He LOVES to scream with delight!!! For such a little man he can make quite the noise! It is amazing.
He is working on 4 more teeth - poor little man! He has also mastered throwing his block, crawling to them and then throwing again, crawling... he can amuse himself for a long time with this! It is quite the scene to watch. Just today he figured out how to clap his hands so he loves to do something - look at us for approval - and then clap for himself! He is sooo cute!
Coop's favorite gift... WRAPPING PAPER!!!
