I can't believe he's a year and a half! Ah! (technically by now he's 20 months) Our little man is growing up way too fast. He gets bigger and bigger everyday. He's even already growing out of his 18 month size clothes. And we just love him bunches!!!!
Coop's 18 month stats:
weight: 25 lbs 4 oz (45%tile)
height: 33 in (75%tile)
head: 49 cm (80%tile)
teeth: At 9 months he got his bottom front 2 teeth, then around 12-15 months he got a top molar on each side and his front side tooth. He now has a total of 12 teeth-the top and bottom 4 and a molar on each top and bottom side. He went from 5-12 within a short period of time. Most of the recent teeth came in during our two week trip to Florida. He likes to gnaw on his fingers when a tooth comes in.
About Cooper at 20 months:
He is all over the place! He loves to run around, spin in circles while looking to the side, roll off the big bean bag, jump up and down, jump off the couch, sing in a language we don't understand, dance, climb into his high chair and on the table and anything else he can, shoot hoops, mimic words, throw all his toys, (We're trying to teach him to only throw balls since most of his toys hurt when thrown. At church a few weeks ago he threw one of his toy cars and it hit the baby sitting behind us and gave him a goose egg on his forehead.) watch Nemo, Buzz, or Panda, "golf" and "bat" with tennis rackets and balls, pretend that his food and all of his toys can fly, help around the house with cleaning (sweeping, emptying the dishwasher, dusting, and vacuuming) and fix it projects, play in water, make all sorts of sound affects noises, play with his uncle Pepe, tell mama and dada what to do and where to go, read A Mouse in the House and Mess Monsters, look out the window while driving in the car, snuggle with blankets-LOTS of blankets, eat breakfast with his Pooh, Mickey, and Baby stuffed animals, (he also 'feeds' them), play in dads "ssslide" (the hammock), throw all of his stuffed animals into his sisters crib then get in the crib to jump around and throw all the animals back out so he can do it all over again, throw his dirty diapers in the "arbage", (Although, he usually hates getting his diaper or outfit changed and won't lay still. If he had his way, he'd run around naked all the time.), pull off his socks, blow kisses, give hugs, hug babies, go down slides, eat "en eyes" (french fries), "gakit" (chocolate), and "bed" (banana bread), push the buttons to turn on the dishwasher and dryer and shut the garage door, play with mom's doll house, (mostly by letting all the people slide down the roof), brush his teeth, take medicine or vitamin drops, (he always asks for more) throw things down the stairs, have mama and dada do or eat whatever he does, eat ice, rub his hands with "boap" (soap), snuggle up with dad in dad's bed, color, watch videos of himself, laugh/giggle, entertain others, play with cars, watching himself in the mirror, putting things back, (Well, some things-I'm having a hard time getting him to out his toys away at the end of the day. But he does really good at putting his drink back in the fridge.) playing with his food (and sometimes throwing it) when he's done, eating cereal, drinking the milk from his bowl, and just being cute!

Some Memories:
He's officially been in nursery for 2 months now. The first time he went he cried for the first hour than he was fine. When I went to pick him up he ran across the room to me yelling mama and ended up tripping over his shoes right before he reached me. :-) Now when he goes, he cries for about a minute then he's fine the rest of the time. I like to peek in on him and he's so cute to watch. He learned the word "mine" in nursery and how to rub his hands together with soap or hand sanitizer.
Steve took Cooper to Spencer's basketball game and Cooper was so mad he couldn't run onto the court and play with the ball. He kept screaming ball the whole game.
When my cousin Brittni was giving me a pedicure, Cooper kept trying to push her hand away and he'd panic and say "ow". Then once he realized it didn't hurt mommy he decided he'd try filing his own toenails. :-)
He's been having a hard time going to sleep on his own lately. He always wants to stay up and play with dada. It doesn't help that Steve has to work till late every evening either. So lately when I've been putting him down for bed he says "back", meaning to rub his back for him, and "ing", meaning for me to sing songs for him. It helps calm him down but he rarely falls asleep while I do it. So I end up having to leave the room and hear him cry for dada until he finally falls asleep. The other night both Steve and I went into his room to tuck him in, when I left he didn't fuss at all. Then I came back in and Steve left and Cooper instantly got mad. So we know he's a dada's boy. :-) We just love our little man!!!
