Today Cooper turns three, and I think the thought that is most prevalent in my mind is that the last year has been an awakening of a kid in Cooper. He's no longer a baby or toddler but a little man! And, he's certainly fitting into our new Texas home with his camouflage overalls and cowboy boots!
But no matter how much he's grown, he still adores his sissy.
He even loves having tea parties at her request, but I'm not sure how long that will last...
I do think the increasing amount of wrestling and tackles he surprises Abigail with may quickly decrease the amount of tea party invitations she gives to him.
No matter how aggressive he is at home, he's not a showman in public. He had his first chance for a public performance at his school's Christmas performance. It was not happening. We tried for weeks to get him to sing the songs, and we was very insistent that he was not going to sing. He was right, he didn't sing. But, the funniest thing was a night out at a restaurant in March, three months after his class performance, when he suddenly burst out with his own rendition of Jingle Bells. Apparently, he was waiting for the right moment for his singing debut. Today, he's a nut about singing Itsy, Bitsy Spider.
Another thing that hasn't changed about Cooper is his joy! He's still the happiest little guy around!
And, his sense of humor is as solid as his happiness. Seen here playing in the street in his polar bear pajamas and cowboy boots, Cooper can always put a smile on my face and surprise me with his wit and nuttiness.

I can't believe he's 3. Wow. He is a funny boy. We had so much fun with him at Christmas. Following all the girls around. Poor boy. I'm sure at some point they put a dress on him too!!!
And Cooper has always had the most beautiful eyes!!!
