Cooper is 2!

It is hard to explain how much joy Cooper has brought to our lives. It's a joy that is so palpable it fills up a room . . . much like him. This little boy does everything big and on his own terms. He barrels his way through life, plowing through anything in front of him. Most of the time he does it all with a big grin, dimples glaring, eyes glistening just daring you to try to catch him. His other side is just as passionate. His will and determination are gifts that will surely help him succeed throughout life, but are sometimes a little hard to parent at the tender age of 2. It is that same passion though that also fuels his love of people. He delights in attention from his older siblings and couldn't wait to share his birthday celebration at the Little Gym with all of his cousins. At 2 years old, Cooper loves running, chasing, hiding and playing with his big brothers and sister. He loves Nemo, Kung "Fuuuuuuuu" Panda and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. He has a fierce determination to get what he wants and does not give in or give up without a fight. He is a big boy beyond his years only wanting the big boy seat at dinner, big boy underwear, and to do most things himself. He doesn't eat much or often, but his favorite food is scrambled eggs. He entertains us and fills up a place in our heart that we never knew was empty. He fuels our family . . . he keeps our passion growing! We are so grateful for you, little Coopster!
