The Cute, the Not-so-Cute, and Some Brand New Vocabulary

It's been almost a month since my last blog. How is it that one month can seem like one minute? Time flies when you're havin' fun! :)

This past month has been extremely fun with my little Cooper man. He is now 17 months old and in his mind, I'm pretty sure he thinks he's at least 6. He is saying TONS of new words, doing TONS of new cute things....and TONS of not-so-cute things, too.

Some of his favorite new things to say (and my favorite new things to hear):

Dih-down (get down)
cheese (with a lisp)
bahboy (bad boy)
uh-oh
nack (snack)
dooeydin (do it again!)

And the not-so-cute stuff? Funny as it may be, I think I'll be on my toes for the next...oh.....17 years. He has graduated (hopefully!) from the biting phase right on into the slapping phase. He surprise attack slaps. Hard. He has shown the poor cashier at Brookshire Bros. my boobies 3 times. 3 different days. (What can I say? He must be proud...) Running from me is also a new phenomenon....and boy, is he FAST. I have abandoned many shopping carts trying to catch up with him, (since he thinks he's too big to ride in the buggy, he likes to walk and hold my hand) He has me completely figured out and knows just how to work me to get his way. Smart boy. And, as it turns out, this sweet boy is all boy. 150%. Shopping is his least favorite activity. Even when he gets stuff. Not happening.

What would I do without him? He's the best hugger, gives the sweetest little baby kisses, a world-class snuggler, the nicest hand holder, and it is impossible to NOT be in a good mood whenever he's near. Lucky me, lucky him, lucky us!
