WHERE OH WHERE IS THE TIME GOING!?
People always say,
"Cherish it while you can, they grow up so fast"
BOY OH BOY ARE THEY RIGHT!
Some times it feels like it has been YEARS since the day our precious little boy emerged in the world.
Other times it feels like just yesterday.
Today is much more the latter.
It feels like just yesterday that Cooper was born.
His entrance into this world was a long and labored one.
After being induced, it took 37 hours for him to be born.
Best and worst 37 hours of my life.
Today marks Cooper's "half" birthday.
He is 18 months old
We started the day off with his 18 month well check up.
He is still a little guy, no surprise there.
He is:
19.10 lbs (< 3rd % )
31 3/4 inches ( 30th %)
and his head circumference is 47 cm (25th%)
I am enjoying everything about this age,
Well.... ALMOST everything.
Temper tantrums are no joke.
But in general he is so much fun
He is really starting to pick up words quickly.
he says:
Doggie (Da- gee)
Ducky (du- kee)
Daddy
Bye bye (dunk ka) and waves
Mama
Kitty (keek tee)
please (pee)
uh oh OR uh uh ohh
We are currently working on thank you (donk ku)
He can tell me what sound a cow makes (muu or sometime bbbooooo)
what sound a kitty makes (mao)
what sound a lion makes (he growls)
He listens really well majority of the time.
He understands a lot of what we say.
He climbs into his car seat and can turn around and sit down.
He plays "Where's Cooper?"
He picks up his pinwheel in the car and tries to blow and asks me to make it spin.
He opens the pantry door and pulls out the boxes of food he wants and asks for them.
He makes his toy cars vroom.
He can point to many things in his first 100 word book:
ball
shoes
ducky
flower
fish
teddy bear
fork
banana
apple
grapes
orange
keys
frog
kitty
doggie
He dances to music.
He picks up our phones and puts them to his ear and talks.
He shakes his head searching for items in his book and gets really excited when we ask him to look for them or when we open the pantry.
He has his mouth open and arms out (like when you say "what?" and you put them out in front of you) and flaps them up and down when he is searching for both of the above.
he picks up my hair brush and brushes his hair ( even though we have never used on with him)
He can point to his/mamas and his Toy Story woody doll's:
head
ears
eyes
nose
mouth
He also runs to his giant bear while carrying the remote. sits down and points it at the TV ( which is strange, because it is a very rare occasion that we have the TV on for him)
He is just so much fun and I am beyond grateful that I haven't had to miss any of these moments.
I am grateful that I have been able to be a stay at home mama for his entire life so far.
