As I am writing this, I now have a one year old. It is so hard to believe how fast a year goes by and how much a child grows his first year. We had Cooper's first birthday party this Saturday. It was a great success and we were glad most of our family were able to come celebrate with us. Cooper is now walking. He probably started 2 weeks ago. He is now officially into everything and is so excited to explore. He now has enjoyed spending more time outside now that he can walk around more. He also is eating regular food. This is nice that we can all have meals together. I also started giving him whole milk in a straw sippy cup, which he loves. He really put on a show for our guests this weekend by showing them all his tricks. He would do them all in order for them: Clap his hands, point his finger for I am 1, raise his hands in "yeah" position, blow kisses and wave. They of course loved this and Cooper loved all the attention.
It was a great birthday and then 3 days later, was my birthday. I also had a great day where I got to go our to lunch and Kyle kept Cooper for me to go the store (I know, who thought I would be so excited about going to the store by myself). We are having a friend watch Cooper this weekend so we can go the the Cheesecake Factory to really celebrate...yum.
