A lot has been going on since Cooper turned 2. Cooper is constantly trying new words these days. He will say almost every word we say now. When asked a question he will answer with a word now, example, A: "do you want to go inside or outside" C: "outside". It is great to be able to communicate with him more and more. He loves to jump and run. He loves to take Riley on walks and ride bikes (which means he likes to ride behind Mommy on her bike).
We went peach picking on Sunday, we picked 73 pounds of peaches. I proceeded to can them and now have 15 jars of peaches for the winter! Cooper had a great time helping pick the peaches, he also helped me can them this morning.
We finished Cooper's first swim class last Friday. He was in the Starfish class and next year will be in the Goldfish class. He was not thrilled with the structure of the class, he prefers to splash around on his own and go down the monster slide about a zillion times. During the class the slide is turned off and he does not appreciate that. The last class, however, they turned on the slide for the last 10 minutes and Cooper got to ride down the slide with Mama (Sharon) five times. He is crazy in the water, just loves it!
He continues to scrape his knees this summer. Here's a picture of him with two boo boos.
Cooper is enjoying longer periods of alone play. He likes to play with his train sets and his cars. He will play with them on his own for about 1/2 hour, it's fun to watch him. He's also starting to randomly talk and sing throughout the day.
TWO is so much fun! Mommy and Mama are having a blast watching him grow and explore his world.

Here they are one year ago, all walking.
And here they are now: running, jumping, exploring and talking!
