Silly Cooper

Cooper has been starting the "copycat" stage....how long does that last by the way?...forever? Anyways, he and I were in the shower the other morning and I had my foot up on the edge shaving my legs. He put his foot up on the side and had a toy that he was rubbing on his leg...I laughed all day about it. I just thought it was so funny. I wonder what he was thinking. "Hmmm. Don't know what she's doing exactly, but I guess I'll give it a try.......(with a very focused look on his face)....not bad."

**He also started doing something kind of funny, maybe a little dangerous. He's been trying to throw his toys up at lights and ceiling fans and stuff. He's not even close but he sure does try hard.

**Today I had the dishwasher open, (knives already put away :).... ) Cooper always hands me the silverware and then all the cups, and then whatever else he can manage to pull out for me to put away. This morning I was kinda busy so I just let him do his thing in the kitchen and didn't check on him for a little while. When I finally went in, he had the silverware drawer open which is right next to the dishwasher and he had unloaded all the silverware and piled it in the drawer.....along with a couple of plates and glasses. Whatever he could manage to fit. It's probably a good thing I went in when I did. Oh, you might be wondering how he reached...he stands on the dishwasher door and holds on to the top rack. Probably not good for the dishwasher but if it can hold a whole rack of dishes it can hold a 26 lb. kid right?

Time for the countdown....

....Well kinda sorta I guess. I know once you get the little guy you can't give him back so I'm enjoying my sleep and my one on one time with Cooper while it lasts. I do however have just over one month left until thing #2 arrives. Still no names yet. I think I'll put up a poll of a couple of names we can't decide on and I won't tell you anyone's favorites so there's no bias at all. His first name will for sure be John (Both my dad's and my father-in-law's name)....it's the middle name he'll go by that we're stuck on.

We bought another crib and set that up in Coops room a couple of weeks ago. I have to get a carseat....and a couple of other small necessities but we're pretty much as ready as we can be. You know how when it was just you to worry about getting ready and being somewhere on time?? That was easy right? Then the first kid comes along and it takes a long time to figure out how to be on time again. Well I just started to get back into punctuality and I'm about to get all screwed up again....all for good reason though I guess. It's amazing to me how much a mom has to plan ahead just to get to church on time....It will probably be easier to figure it out this second time around.

Only time will tell right?
