ITS ALL ABOUT THE COOPY MAN, and a little about the rest of us.

Lately I've been blogging a lot about the new baby and things going on in regular daily life. I feel like I haven't done a good post involving what Cooper's been up to in a while. So I will try to update all of you on our sweet little Coopy Monster. Then I will tell you about our weekend.
The child prodigy that he is :)

Starting with new things going on with him :)
Cooper got 4 new teeth last week. Three molars and one of the front teeth on the bottom that he hadn't gotten in yet. He handled it surprisingly well for someone getting 4 teeth at one time. Poor kid.
He is talking a ton, but half of it you can't understand :) I can understand so much of what he says though, even though it sounds like gibberish to everyone else.
Cooper is dancing like crazy, he likes to do this shoulder bounce thing. Julian put on Thriller and started calling him Michael Jackson this weekend because he kept "Shoulder dancing". I will have to try to catch it on video so you all can see it.
Cooper has been climbing on all the furniture lately also. Worse than usual. He's learned to climb the kitchen chairs, couch anything and everything and when he gets up on it he stands up. Its so scary so I literally can't turn my back for a second. He's quite the little dare devil.
His babysitter informed me that he is one of the most rambunctious, active children she's ever had. GREAT! In other terms he's the Hellion of the group. I swear he's a good kid, just active and he has a mind of his own.
We are having so much fun with him, his smile brightens my day. He truly is a joy to have around.

Onto other news....
This weekend I went over to another blogger friends house Megan at http://www.inthiswonderfullife.com/ and met her and few other girls that blog as well for the first time. They were all so sweet and I really did have a great time meeting them and learning more about them in person. Its amazing how quickly you can truly make friends in this blog world.
Saturday Coop and I woke up and spent some mommy son time together. We had a great morning. Cooper was listening to me and not touching the tree (this is not usual at all), he was being so sweet and cuddly and he kept coming over and giving me kisses. What a sweetie he is. Once Julian got up and around we went Christmas shopping and got a ton of our gift buying out of the way. WOOHOO! What a relief that is for me.
Saturday night we went to dinner with 2 couples we know. We had a great time. Cooper was so funny, he kept trying to whistle for them. He's just started whistling and its so cute. My dad taught him and he loves it. Everyone was cracking up at his "o" face he made when he tried. So cute.
Sunday was church and errands all day long. We had a great weekend and got up all of our Christmas decor. We got a new area rug for our living room and I love it. Its a fluffy white rug. I know what your all thinking right now, GASP, "A white area rug for your family room, your crazy for getting white rug". Yes maybe I am but oh well, it wasn't too insanely expensive although it is very nice, I figured we could clean it like carpet it something spills God forbid. If it gets ruined than oh well, I guess we won't be doing the whole white rug thing again :).
I ordered new curtains also but they won't be in until next week sometime. We had to special order them, ignore the maroon curtain we have now. We also got the white runner rug for the hall. We have been eying these particular rugs for about 6 months now and finally did it as an early Christmas present for us. I'm so excited. It really lightens up our room since there is so much dark wood floors.
Here is one of the new throw pillows we got for the couch a couple weeks ago. I love them!


Here is the area rug, I will post a pic of the curtains and runner rug next week sometime.

Here is our tree also and a few other Christmas items I put out. I love Christmas!

I never really posted any of our Thanksgiving pictures either. I'm WAY behind on posting pictures. I have all the way from Thanksgiving through putting up Christmas through new Cooper pics. So here you go.

Cooper was running a muc, he was EVERYWHERE! This was his favorite spot to play, of course on the stairs. Trying to give his mama a heart attack.
