The Groothuis Family: A little Mother's Day change!

A little Mother's Day change!

I want to wish all mothers
a Happy Mother's Day yesterday!

Yesterday while Cooper was taking a nap I decided I wanted to rearrange our living room, (which then would cause me to rearrange Cooper's bedroom). Of course instead of taking a full nap Cooper woke up after a short time and I ended up moving furniture while Cooper ran a muck through the house. Here is a video I took awhile ago of the living room before.

Behind the curtain there is an air conditioner that was previously behind the couch. Since it's getting hot I wanted to make it accessible. I'm not sure what I think yet but here are the changes.

You'll notice part of the couch is missing.
I'll post before pictures of Cooper's room and an after video tomorrow.

Hey!! Thanks for sayin hi, it is fun to hear from you. It looks like you guys are doing well! We really enjoy seeing you and Cooper when we come to visit! I was so in love with Cooper's little red Hawaiian shirt that he had on last time we were there to visit, that when I found the brown one at Target I just had to have it. When Adam saw it he said, "hey, that's looks like like the one Cooper had on at Brian and Ashley's". We just had to have it :) Hope you guys are doing well!

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
