Sitting High

Like a cat, Cooper always wants to be as high as possible.  If you place Ellie’s cushions anywhere stacked up, Cooper will find them and sit proudly on top.

Talking to Bugs

Cooper was good most the morning at the museum.  He liked having a little freedom of choosing where he went but spent most of his time trying to keep up with the big kids.  He did get loud when we went into the kids section, where he climbed up the steps to look at the live bugs’ displays and decided to talk to them.

Outside

Cooper loves being outside.  He doesn’t care if it is cold, wet, muddy, day or night; he will be outside as fast and as often as he can.  When this picture was taken he was good at staying on the deck unless his sister was on the grass.    

Sleeping

Cooper is a very, very active little boy.  He is strong, loud, and will face any challenge to keep up with his sister and friends.  He doesn’t mind going to bed and will say “nighty night” to everyone and everything.    If he isn’t ready to fall sleep, he will happily talk to himself, kick the mattress or our wall.  He is so peaceful when he is finally asleep.

Cushions

Ellie and Cooper both love the cushions that Victoria bought for Ellie.  They use them all the time for sitting, laying, fort walls and Frisbees.  Now Cooper has found another use for them, jumping!

Books

Cooper is interested in books.  While he can only sit through a story if he is playing/reading another book, he can sit and look through books quietly by himself.  He likes “The woman who ate a fly”, a farm book with flaps that reveal animals, these books pictured and Ellie’s Disney Princess encyclopaedia.
