Cooper is 2!!

Time has flown by so fast and it’s official, our little baby is no longer one – he’s TWO!  And he’s ready to go go go!   He is so much fun and we couldn’t imagine our lives without him. 

He’s brilliant, he’s sweet, he’s loving, he’s adorable, he’s perfect!!!  What more could we want?!

Cooper had a great second birthday and can’t wait for his ‘real’ birthday party on Saturday with his cousins and his nana, but of course we couldn’t let the day go by without celebrating.   Who says you can’t have two birthdays!?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to our Super Duper Wonderful Cooper!

And to start out the day, Cooper had a play date with his friends Jade and Dylan – and of course CUPCAKES!

Cooper very patiently waited for his guest to arrive (after seeing the cupcakes and having a big of meltdown that he couldn’t eat it right away!)   Hurry up and get here you guys!!!

Cooper and his friend Jade, digging in!

Baby Dylan is standing and almost walking now!  Won’t be long until he is one.

Playing with the piano.

Jade brought, and helped Cooper unwrap, a birthday present.  Thanks Jade and Dylan!!!

After the play date (and sugar rush) was over, Cooper had a fun afternoon with Grandpa who came over to wish him a very happy birthday.

Mommy set all his little presents out for later.

And we went outside to do some finger painting!

Look mom!  I’m painting myself!

The messy birthday boy checks himself out in the mirror.   I’m a GOOD PAINTER EVERYBODY!

He splashed around in his pool and got all cleaned up and then had a little playtime.

YAY – Daddy’s home!!!

Let’s get this party started!!

Cooper had pizza for dinner on his new Thomas plate and cup.

And nana called just in time for the cake!

YAY NANA!!!

So we all sang HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Cooper. 

Blow out the candles.  GREAT JOB!

His second cupcake of the day – OH BOY!!!

Showing nana his cupcake – mmmmmmm.

Present time!!

A little gift from Jeff, Missi, Elle, and Zach.

A JACK IN THE BOX!   Cooper loved it!

And here he is surrounded by his haul.  Great job Cooper – looks fun!

And the rings from the cupcakes – a bit hit!  Spiderman, Thomas and Percy.

What a wonderful day Cooper had.   And he can’t wait for his party on Saturday.  What a lucky little boy.

For Cooper’s second birthday, mommy and daddy have decided to try IVF in Denver one last time, to hopefully give him a sibling.  We hope at this time next year you are welcoming another little baby into the family honey.   You have been the blessing of our lives and we love you more than words can say.

We’re so proud of you!

Love mommy and daddy.
