Poopie Coopie's Blog

So I was just informed by Meg that I am a turrrrible Mommy because I haven’t updated my blog in an eternity!  Hey- I’m busy…. trying to keep up with my crazy child!  We have had the best summer!  Cooper is growing up so fast and he is so much fun to be around these days.  He is talking non-stop and loves being outside.  Here are some of my favorite pictures from the summer….

Here is Cooper’s class at school… I am so glad I bought one of these because he loves “talking” to all his friends at home!

So due to techinical difficulty with my camera, a super hectic schedule and a little bit of laziness on my part, I have not updated this blog in FOREVER!  I am so sorry!!!  I really want this blog to be something our friends and family around the country can use to keep up with the Coop.  I also want to have this for him when he gets older…. that being said, I promise to be better. 

Cooper is definitely starting to let us know his opinion on just about everything.  He is apparently so ‘advanced’ that he seems to already showing signs of the terrible two’s! Yeah!!!  ( I hope you can read the sarcasm.)  On a positive note he is talking up a storm and loves to read.  He knows a bunch of animal sounds and body parts.  He is turning into quite a little ham……. 

Crazy Baby!!!

Pictures of Coop!

We had some family pictures taken a few weeks ago and I will post them soon…..  I hope all is well with everyone else!

I can’t believe I haven’t updated the blog since the first of the month!  Bad blogger!!! We have been really busy doing all kinds of fun stuff.  We had the big snowstorm a couple of weeks ago and lost power for about 12 hours.  Here are a few pictures of Molly and Coop enjoying the snow….

Are we still in Texas?!?!?!

Molly Dog loves the snow!

Good thing Granna got Coop the 'SUV' riding vehicle....

Daddy built a jump for Cooper to get some 'air' on.....

We didn’t do much for Valentine’s Day…. I was sick and spent most of the day in bed.    Aunt Jilly bought Coop a really cute new shirt to wear….

I think the shirt speaks for itself...

Happy Valentine's Day!

Cooper is very helpful ‘cleaning’ the house….

Organizing the drawers.... Molly supervising...

And he's done....

Here are a few other funny pictures from the last few weeks…

First time snoozing in the high chair....

Where did the banana go?!?!?!

Picking out the marshmallows from the Lucky Charms. Smart kid.

Playing with Granna...

I hope everyone is doing well- we are getting ready for another round of snow down here!    I am ready for spring!!!

The month of January wizzed by!  I can’t believe how fast time flies…. Cooper is getting so big.  We had to take him for haircut number 2 on Saturday!  He is so much fun these days.  He is talking (or babbling) up a storm and is very independent.  He loves school and all his friends up there.  We had a scratching incident on Monday- a little kid in Coop’s class scratched his face and neck.  He is doing better though. 

We have family pictures on Saturday for the church bulletin so hopefully those will turn out well and I will post them on the blog for all to see.  Our appointment time is kind of late so I am hoping the Man is in a good mood.   

Here are the latest pictures of the Man….

Getting ready to cook dinner on the Foreman.....

Or drag the Foreman around the kitchen....

Hi Mommy!

'Feeding' Molly- she has gained 8 pounds in the last year.... we don't know why?!?!?

Talking on the phone...

Still talking.... He likes Mommy's new I-phone....

This is a serious call....

'Organizing' the Tupperware

First tee-tee on the floor! He was running around the house naked before the bath....

In the bath after the above mentioned peeing incident!

He loves the bath!

Here are some pictures from our lunch last Saturday at Pappasitos. We let the Man try queso for the first time….

Cooper

Here’s Cooper, Daddy and Molly checking out the fridge….  I am still trying to figure out how to upload directly from the Flip onto the blog.  If anyone knows how to do this- please let me know.  For some reason wordpress can’t find the videos in the library….  might be user error though. 

Cooper loves it when we say ‘Brrrr…’ and shiver.  He likes to imitate us and laugh his head off.  It has been cold down here so far this year… I thought we lived in Texas?!?!?!  

The big news of 2010 is that Cooper has moved up to another class at school!  They no longer have cribs and high chairs.  Instead it is nap mats and proper tables and chairs.  Of course on one of the first days, Cooper  got into it with another kid over a chair- the other kid won because Cooper had scratches all over his face.  Apparently Cooper’s favorite thing is to move the chairs around the room- shocking.    In his new class he also gets to go outside- weather permitting.  He loves to be outside so I am very glad about this.  They have their own little playground so we don’t have to worry about him interacting with even bigger kids.  

Here are some new pictures of the Man…. 

He still loves electronics....

Hanging out in his new chair.

After we 'hid' the wagon and the car outside he found other methods of transportation around the house...

Trying to teach Molly to pull him around.

He convinced Aunt Becki to push him around.... sucker!

Wearing his Cowboys shirt for the big game- Daddy went without him this time.... next year.

Daddy took this picture- apparently the Man got stuck in Molly's bowl the other day.... Daddy said it was the funnies thing ever!

Big game tonight for the horns! The man is ready….

The Man’s second Christmas was covered in snow!  He had a great time hanging out with Mawka, Grandad, Mimi and Granna!  We had a full house Christmas Day and it was so fun.  Aunt Jill and Uncle Greg came over with presents once some of the snow and ice melted.  Cooper loves his new wagon, chair and car.  We hope everyone else had a great Christmas too!
