The Groothuis Family: What Cooper's been up to recently...

What Cooper's been up to recently...

He practiced walking with his Lightning McQueen car before he would walk alone.

Balto was on so they thought they'd be wolves! They are great pretenders!

Cooper eating Mac & Cheese with his Papa. Yum Yum!

When he first started taking steps alone...

...To now he's walking in Wal-mart!

Cooper loves to fly!

He also loves to share! His food, his binky, his bottle, his juice, etc. He's very kind!

That's basically what he's been up to... so bye bye for now.

You have the sweetest family! There's truthfully nothing more I can say than that... totally jealous!

he never ceases to amaze me!

Cooper loves to dance when the phone rings. I just have the basic tone that came with the phone but he knows that means Papa or Nana is calling and he's used to hearing them. He also always holds the phone up to his ear backwards and babbles into it when he plays. Recently he actually started holding the phone the right way and loves to pretend to have conversations with no one in particular! Today Fritz called and Cooper and I were dancing away in the living room when Cooper suddenly stopped, put his empty hand up to his ear and said "hello". Apparently he was done with the dancing and wanted to get on with the chatting. 5/11/09
Fritz and I were standing in the living room talking when I felt something on my foot. I looked down and Cooper had put my shoe there. I took it and put it back then started talking to Fritz again. A few seconds later it was back on my foot. I picked Cooper up to ask what he was doing and he started waving bye bye. I said "where are we going?" and he simply pointed to the door. I guess that was our cue that we needed to check the mail we didn't check yesterday. 4/26/09
This morning Cooper was running around the apartment and grabbed one of my socks off the floor. I said "Did you take mommy's sock? Where do socks go?" and he held the sock over his foot! He's also starting to cooperate more when I dress him. It's so insane how fast he is learning. 4/4/09
For Cooper's birthday he got a Sing and Learn Mic and one of the songs it plays is Old McDonald. Cooper walks around holding it and pressing buttons, but when Old McDonald comes on he says "E, I, E, I, O". It's adorable! 3/31/09
Coop is turning into a dancin man! Whenever he hears a song or you sing to him he moves his head from side to side swaying to the beat! The radio, the tv, singing almost any song! Sometimes he goes forward and backward like he's head banging. And Fritz is teaching him to move his hand like rappers do. Of course as soon as I pull out the camera the dancing is over. I'll get it soon!
Cooper is becoming quite the little helper. Today I was making our bed and Cooper pushed the pillow from leaning on the wall towards the bed where I was standing. Then I started stacking Fritz’s shoes in the closet. As I reached down to get the next one Cooper was already holding it up towards me. I proceded to start loading laundry into the washer. Every time I turned around Cooper was throwing clothes out of his laundry bucket. He was really trying to help me out today! 3/9/09
Cooper learned how to sign "more" recently. He goes around signing and saying what sounds like "more" and sometimes "I want more". He does it so often that I wasn’t sure he knew what it meant. Today he was at my parents’ house and he kept pushing his bottle away. My dad picked him up and Cooper pointed at the pantry and said/signed more. My mom got out applesauce and he got all excited. I guess he does know what it means, and where the food is kept. What a smarty pants. 3/8/09
