He didn't officially arrive until nearly midnight on July 29, 2010 but we've been celebrating his first birthday all day. He weighed 8 lbs and was 21 inches long. 12 months, 15 lbs, 8 inches and 6 teeth later we have our little chunky monkey with his lovely curly locks. He jumped up to 20 lbs by 4 months old and was outgrowing his clothes each week but as he has become more and more mobile, he has slimmed down quite a bit. My back is grateful but it breaks my heart to see his chubby little cheeks shrink. And his delicious thighs are not quite as chubby but he is still a yummy little dumpling.
We were lucky to be out in Utah just before his birthday and celebrated with family and friends there. Today was a fun family celebration with presents, balloons and of course our pizza and a movie night.
We love Cooper and couldn't imagine our lives without him. His deep belly laugh is just what I need to perk my spirits and although thus far he is resisting the sign language, he has definitely got the language of love. He loves to give hugs and kisses and knows the difference between the two. Our family is one big ball of love these days.
What a wonderful year...
HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY COOPER!!!!
