crazy cooper

Cooper is changing.  He is going from our sweet little angel baby to a crazy demon toddler!

Don't get me wrong, Cooper is still the sweetest little boy.  He is always having fun at the park.  This is his favorite ball that he loves to play with, but he's not particular, he is happy to play with any ball he can get his hands on.

His favorite thing at the park is the swing.  Cooper loves to swing and will throw a tantrum when you try to take him out. 

This is a typical picture of Cooper on any given day at any given time.  This is Cooper standing on the stairs, doing a headstand, looking at us upside down.  The kid is crazy!

After coming out of his headstand (because I've asked him nicely not to do that on the stairs), he sits up and gives me a dirty look.  He gives the best dirty looks.  All the time.  To everyone!

Next, Cooper will attempt to go back downstairs (headfirst), before I nicely remind him that he needs to turn around.  (TURN AROUND.  TURN AROUND.  TURN AROUND.  TURN AROUND. I say twenty times until I physically have to go turn him around and get him started).  Once Cooper, TURNS AROUND, he glides as fast as he can down the stairs!

After I persuade Cooper away from the stairs and distract him with some toys.  I will walk away for a minute (can't a women take a bathroom break?).  When I return to where Cooper should be playing nicely with his toys, he is missing, but I will inevitably find him here!

Before I can even reach him, he is on the top of the bunk bed laughing and smiling about what he has done.  Notice his brother on the bed, ENCOURAGING him on his journey!

Besides being a crazy acrobatic climber, Cooper is also a helper.  He loves to help me with laundry.  He specializes in sorting.  Once I have sorted all the whites and colors into two separate baskets, he takes all the clothes from the whites and mixes them in with the colors.  So helpful!

After the laundry is properly sorted, it's time to dress Cooper in his second outfit for the day.  As the day wears on, I am graced with a few more dirty looks.  


Oh, I love my crazy Cooper.  He is unlike any toddler that I have ever experienced before.  Thanks for keeping me on my toes ALL DAY LONG!

Gotta love those dirty looks! This post makes me want to enjoy my little baby that much more because I know toddlerhood is just around the corner. Can someone please stop time?

I love the looks that Cooper gives!! He is a funny boy. Him and Brice should go to the park together. She loves the swings...we can't get her off of them.
