Lack of sleep and being under the weather has really shortened my patience and tollerance level today. Lunch was trying to the point of me near tears….Ella walked over to me after she finished her lunch and gave my leg a big hug and said ” I love you Mommy” yep that made me cry.

Great time with my kiddies…we took turns pretending to be Baby Jesus, the Wisemen and a Shepard. It was interesting to see what gifts were brought by the Wisemen….to name a few: matchbox cars, apples, even a helicopter although Cooper decided he had enough and took it and left. I love how big of an imagination my children have…pretend play is wonderful and a great part of childhood! Hope they keep it!!!

Cooper is such a “dunkerroni” he loves dunking his food! However, he doesn’t dunk normal things like fries or chicken in ketchup….oh no…he dunks cheese puffs in applesauce, cheese in yogurt… just watching him eat it I get eeewwwyyy chills! To each their own I suppose:)

Cooper is inbetween pant sizes. Walks all over 24 months….and 18 months he sports the new style for men, capris! Not so great for these cold days!

Had Coopers 18 month checkup this morning. Cooper weighs 26 pounds, 6.9 ozs. He lost weight since his appointment in November so we return in January to make sure he doesn’t lose more! He is 2′ 9.82″…..TALL for his age!
Overall, he is a healthy boy!

Cooper managed to turn the tv on. I asked him what he’d like to watch, he said Dora! He’s growing up so fast!
He then did the “no swipping” hand!!!

Ella was pretending to be a puppy dog. She came over to me with her tongue out, licked my face and I asked her what that was. She looked at me and said that she licked me like a puppy dog does! 🙂
