Blogger doesn't want me to upload tons of pictures, so here are two from his party. Marlee was so excited for Cooper and spent most of the time opening his presents for him. He didn't care at all.

Cooper's 2nd Birthday
We celebrated Cooper's 2nd birthday on March 20th with our families. We had a wonderful visit at home, and Coop enjoyed the extra love and attention with everyone. He's into all things boy, so he had a great time 4-wheeling, throwing rocks in the pond, and exploring the creek.

My Buddy and Me
I wish I could freeze Marlee and Cooper when they are in sync. Because when they are in sync, I fall more in love with them. They can be such buddies. Playful and funny. Sometimes they start laughing for no reason and keep each other giggling at the sheer fact that the other one is laughing, too. I hope they remain buddies forever.

Rainbow Brite or Punky Brewster
Marlee is definitely an individual spirit. She's been that way since she was in my belly. You might even call her strong-willed. When it comes to clothes, she knows what she wants before she ever opens a drawer. The school years will be very interesting. I finally gave up the fight of picking out her clothes. As long as she's wearing something, all is well. Sometimes we have to compromise on the outfit when we get out of the house. This is a typical outfit for any given day. I have a lot of laundry seeing that she changes clothes multiple times a day.

Don't Forget the Hat and Other Cooper News
Cooper is definitely ALL BOY! He climbs on everything, jumps off anything, races cars or trucks over any surface, loves loud tractors and fire trucks. His new favorite thing or accessory is his hat. He had a little Tennessee hat but quickly outgrew it. Chad didn't find anything that he liked, so he stopped by GAP and found this cute orange hat.
He wears it all the time, inside the house, outside playing, whenever we go somewhere in the car. If he doesn't already have it on, he'll stop and say,"Gotta get my hat" and run and find it.
He's tried sleeping with it on or will try and keep it in bed with him. Chad was outside with the kids one day while they were riding their bikes. He told them to get their helmets before going to the cul-de-sac. Cooper stopped and looked at Chad and said, "No, I got my hat on" or something along those lines and went on his way!
He's finally learned to slide down on his bottom. For the longest time he would turn around and slide on his stomach. He still has trouble with the landing, but he's working on it.
This big boy with celebrate his 2nd birthday on Sunday. Although I've already experienced this milestone with Marlee, it still amazes me how much they grow and change in the first two years. I love how totally different he and Marlee are. I truly enjoy all things boy, especially this boy! He sure does love his Momma!
Funny story. Cooper is pretty much a flirt with pretty ladies any time we go somewhere. They always comment on how happy he is and his cute smile. Well last night he was really hamming it up for Matilda at the Mexican restaurant. When she dropped off the check, she said something to him and out of nowhere, his smile was gone. He kind of lunged forward and ROARED like a dinosaur with his wrinkled eyebrows. It was so funny! Chad, myself and the waitress were a little taken back. I explained he was roaring like a dinosaur and she laughed it off. All I could sing in my head was, "Boys will be boys...Bad Boys, Bad Boys"

How do they do that?
Cooper has a new thing of rolling his eyes up when he's thinking. You can tell he's putting a lot of thought into what he wants to say before he says it. It is the cutest thing and makes him seem so much more like a little boy than my baby boy. Marlee's new thing is asking about your dreams and telling you about hers. For now, she's dreaming about spring and butterflies and Tennessee. I'm a dreamer and usually have the wildest ones too. So, I'll be interested to see if she gets my dream habits. It amazes me to watch my children grow into little people.
