16 months and counting

For posterity - what Cooper was like at 16 months.

Cooper is by all accounts exactly average when it comes to developmental timelines. He walks, talks and sleeps right in the middle of the scale. However, he shines when it comes to eating, and therefore height and weight. We have not weighed him recently but I am pretty sure he is still about 95% percentile. We have a big boy on our hands!

Likes:
Running
Kicking a ball, while running
His scooter (a bit young to really get it, but loves pushing it around while standing next to it. . .)
Being harassed by his father
Muslin (little white cloth that he carries around most everywhere)
TV remote control
Banging anything against anything

Dislikes:
Diaper changes
TV remote control without batteries
Being told he can't bang something against something
Mommy leaving the house (or even the room sometimes)

Words (highest frequency of use from top down):
No
More
Uh oh
Da Da/Daddy
Ma Ma/Mommy
Bye
Bus (used for just about all moving objects)
Ball
Beep  beep (when playing with a toy car)
Weeeee (when he makes a car or toy roll across the floor)
This
Bird
Plane
Dog/Woof woof
Duck
Wa wa (water)
Book
Nose
Shoes
Yes
Hi
Sticky
Bubbles

Cooper's favorite new past time

Brushing teeth

After 12 months of procrastinating, we finally started brushing Cooper's (7) teeth at bathtime. He loves it!

First kiss!

This morning when Chris left for work he gave me a kiss on the cheek. Cooper than turned around and did the same, so cute! When I got home from work this afternoon he proceeded to do it two more times. I could get used to this kind of treatment!!

Cooper's new interests

Cooper has very recently shown a huge interest in books and shoes. I am hoping the first stays and the second is a phase...

Thai boxers

We got Cooper, Jac and Nic all Thai boxing shorts while we were in Bangkok. We did a little photo shoot this afternoon. Cooper was really into it, indicated by his tongue. ;)

First scraped knee

Sure to be the first of many!

Photos from last week

Chris and I went to Thailand for a Cooper-less holiday and left Cooper in the capable hands of my brother (and his two girls), my sister (and her two boys), my mom, Lou, Sylvia and Jessica. He was very well taken care of - probably better than he usually is. . .

Here are a few photos my sister took.
