My heart melted....

Things have been really busy around here. Cooper is changing every day and is so much fun. He is really on the verge of walking and cruises around super fast. This weekend we went and watched the church choir perform on the square at Granbury. It was cold so I thought I would bundle Cooper up and tuck him in his stroller with a blanket and he would stay nice and warm. The problem with this idea is that it would require Cooper holding still. He was out of his stroller in no time cruising down the line of chairs. He found one especially interesting and decided to push the chair around the floor. He then noticed that I was eating a bagel (I had come straight from work and hadn't eaten anything) and decided he wanted some. Mind you, he had already eaten a full breakfast. He was finally satisfied after he had eaten half of my bagel and I was still hungry :)

We went home after the performance and had lunch and naptime. I made a pumpkin cheesecake while Cooper was napping for the FD Christmas party. When Cooper woke up it was snack time and then we headed to the Christmas party. Cooper ate an adult sized serving of sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, turkey, and jello salad. After the meal, the fun began. The fire department does a white elephant gift exchange. This is a pretty cutthroat gift exchange with people conspiring together with double and triple steals to make sure that everyone goes home with what they wanted. Cooper ended up with a firetruck that blows bubbles. I know he'll love it :) Cooper had so much fun playing in a rolling ice chest and some of the other kids were pulling him around in it. He had such a huge smile on his face!

This morning I left for work before Cooper woke up. Memaw called and said that she didn't let Cooper go into my room and took him downstairs. He crawled around like he was looking for something and the sat square in the floor and looked at her and said "Mama". Memaw said that she told him "Mama had to go to work." Cooper then went back to playing.......My heart melted  :)
