Coop is 1!

My sweet little boy turned 1 yesterday.  Very bittersweet day!  He is growing so fast and learning new things all the time.  He is still very stubborn and does things his way.  =)

Last night we celebrated his 1st birthday with the 3 of us.  I made chicken casserole and a cake.  We ate dinner and then let him eat his first piece of cake.  We sang to him and he pretty much thought we were nuts.  He did not quite get the concept of blowing out his candle, but he enjoyed watching us.  He, however, did understand the concept of cake!  Haha  He devoured his piece of cake.  I have also decided that he will never get cake at night again.  He turned into a crazy, crazy man.  I do have to admit he was quite hilarious on his sugar high though.  

We opened presents after we ate.  He opened his presents slowly, pulling little pieces of the paper back.  Once we got them all opened, Brett put his little bike together for him.  Cooper loved riding the tricycle.  

He loved his cake!

All in all it was a pretty great 1st birthday for our sweet baby boy!
