Today my baby turns one!!  What a year it has been, my sweet little Cooper.  You are a party wherever you go! 

Yesterday we had a party for the Cooper man – seven families came to our house to celebrate our little circus.  There was fishing, kayaking and lots and lots of FOOD (Cooper’s favorite part).  Watching him contemplate the birthday cake was all the entertainment we needed.  At first he wasn’t sure if we really meant for him to dive in, but once he realized that it was fair game, dive in he did! 

He literally ate until he couldn’t eat another bite, then rubbed his eyes and pointed up, as if to say, “Enough festivities… it’s bedtime!”  I took him up and put him to bed and the party continued for another hour and a half.  Rock on.

Aside from marathon cake eating, Cooper took his first steps on Saturday!  We were having crabs for dinner on the deck with Casey’s parents, when out of nowhere, Cooper let go of the chair he was holding onto and walked ten steps before plopping amicably on his bum.  He has yet to repeat the feat (aside from a step or two here and there) but it won’t be long now!
