Please and a Baby Dump Truck

Video #1: We have been working very hard at our house to instill some politeness in our son, starting with please. Apparently, actually saying the word is too much of a strain for him. Instead, he has chosen to sign the word and if he really wants something, then he will vigorously sign using both hands. When asked to use his words, he performs the sign on his face. He does finally say please tonight, but it comes out "cheese". It all counts in my book. Our next task....Thank you! (translation: toto=pillow)



Video #2: Our son has remained consistent in his request for a baby dump truck when given the sister or brother option.



He continues to amaze and humor us daily. Tonight he told us he wanted to go "to the truck". When we asked why, he replied (to) "see baby Abby". Apparently, his 5 month old cousin has made quite the impact. I just hope his own sibling will do the same!

A Cooper Update (it's about time)

So much for meeting our goal of frequent postings to keep everyone up to date on the little man. I do have an excuse....Pregnancy! I'm still waiting for that day when you are suppose to feel better. As far as Scott's excuse, all I have to say is that K-State Basketball is pretty time consuming.

Moving on...We would like to think that Andy is excited about the prospects of a little sister or little brother. But, his consistent answer when asked his preference on the matter is "a baby dump truck". I hope he isn't too disappointed in August.

Andy has had a busy winter. The days just aren't long enough to play with all of the toys he received for Christmas and his birthday!

Besides the demanding play schedule, he is enrolled in Kindermusik with mom and Tumbling with dad. (We have to find some way to expend all of that energy!) He also made a road trip (with mom) to Columbia to hang out with his cousin Abby, his Uncle Dan and Aunt Michelle. He hasn't stopped talking about baby Abby since we got home!

Currently, Andy's favorite activity is following Wildcat Basketball, he makes his daddy very proud!
