Kids at Play

There really isn't a word to explain Cooper right now. He is fun, caring, tender, affectionate at times, playful, eager to please, gentle, learning, adventurous, brave, impressionablee. He is really into books right now as well as cars. We recently put him into a big boy bed and he LOVES it. His room has a car theme and he can't get enough of it it seems. He likes playing in his room on his own and sometimes I will go in to see what he is doing and either he will be playing with his toys or lying on his bed sucking his blanket fringe. He is just so darn cute. His vocabulary has taken off and his pronunciation is getting better and better. He does have these moments of babbling when you know he is trying so hard to talk adult talk. It makes me giggle. 

I love that he loves me so much. He gives me kisses and hugs all the time. A moment I will cherish forever: we were at a friends for a birthday party and I was in another room changing Avery's diaper. He was so happy as he was playing with his friends. I could see him catch my eye and he full out ran and jumped into my arms and gave me a kiss and hug. Melt my heart. It was so tender. Those are the moments we Mom's live for.  
Another storey or funny thing about Cooper. He has this thing that he likes to do. I know it probably isn't something to be proud of but it is HILARIOUS to me. Cooper loves to pick at his toes and pull out the lint or what I like to call toe jam. He is constantly pulling off his socks and looking between his toes. I gave him a time out once and found him pulling out his toe jam. So much for no toys during a time out and for him to think about what he had done! He has something on hand or should I say on foot that will always keep him occupied should he need it!

 Avery is a doll. Every day she is different and I am learning who she is and what she prefers. She is very quick with her smiles and loves to talk. She is a social butterfly and does not like to be alone. For the most part I feel this is a great blessing to our family as she won't let us forget her. However, sometimes I wish she could play on her own and not need me so close all the time. Her favorite place is her caterpillar which is were she is in these pics.

I can't believe how much she has grown.
Well I am going back to bed. She has fallen asleep beside me while I have been blogging.
I hope to post more pics later.Check back soon for some cute pics of Cooper being a wonderful big brother.
