We Had a Birthday!

{I must start by saying that since we've moved to the new house I can barely sit down at the computer let alone write a whole blog post without feeling guilty.  Well, I'm going to write one now even though I still need to: Exercise, Shower, Decide what to make for dinner, Unload the dishwasher, Fold laundry, Wipe the countertops, Water the garden, etc...}
The reality is that I just can't let Campbell's birthday come without putting up COOPER's Birthday post!

Super-Cooper is TWO!

As you can see...we took him to Irvine Park to ride the train. Very memorable for him. At any mention of a birthday he will tell people about his train ride.

And even more exciting was the train cake which he could barely wait for.

The kids got to lay..then eat the tracks...it was a big hit.

And, of course, there were presents.  I don't think he had ever even thought about this part.  Being the 3rd...he has (access to if not actual ownership) lots of toys so he was actually the most excited to get two Thomas shirts and one Oscar the Grouch shirt from his Utah Grandparents & cousins.  Thank you...heloves them and still wants to wear one of these EVERYDAY.

Just before he turned 2 Cooper's temper was rearing it's ugly head...but after a little hair pulling and pushing crackdown he is much improved.  He is saying more words and bigger sentences everyday.  I just can't believe how fast he is picking up things - like ABC's, numbers, putting on clothes...especially cleaning up.  The other day I was calling everyone to dinner and he (always the first to come) said to me "No Mama, I-ya sleeping on couch." Hello, that's like a 6 word sentance!

Happy Birthday to my smart sweet littlest boy!

(Now on to dinner, dishes and laundry...oh and when am I going to exercise?)
