My dear sweet little Cooper,
I cannot believe it has been two years since you came into this world as a perfect little seven pound nine ounce little angel bug. You have changed our lives forever in the best way imaginable, you bring so much joy and happiness to us and we would not be able to live without you. You have developed such a fun and outgoing personality. You are always on the go and never walk you have always run where ever you are going no matter what you are doing. You love all kinds of trucks, diggers, firetrucks, police, ambulances, all kinds of animals and you love making animal sounds. You thrive outside and could not have more boy in you. You are very sweet with other kids, you love to hug, kiss and snuggle. You are so smart and love learning things, you could read with me for hours, you love to take your pillow out of your bed and lay on it while we read. You love music and bob your head anytime you start to hear music, yes, even at church.
At every stage you hit (except the couple days after you turned two) I just want to bottle you up and keep you that way forever. I always think to myself "it cant get any better or more fun" and you never cease to amaze me, the things you say and do are always making me laugh. You really have a contagious happiness in your spirit and everyone around you, even strangers in the stores, notice it. I feel like the luckiest Momma in the world to call you my son, I got so lucky to get such a sweet, happy and loving kid. I hope that you always keep you sweet spirit about you and always be a good example to all those around you. You are my best little buddy and I love that I get to spend every single day, all day with you. You keep me on my toes and keep me on the go non-stop but I love it and wouldn't change a thing about you. You wake up happy every morning yelling "Momma, mommy, mommmm" and I love it, it starts my day out right, it makes your Dad a little jealous, but that's okay, you've woken up saying his name a couple times.
We have had a very fun and busy year and I'm constantly amazed at well you adjust to everything we do. You are a great traveler, and for the most part you stay on your schedule even if we aren't quite on the right schedule that you are used to. You were so good at potty training and I'm so proud of you for catching on so fast and doing such a great job. I'm sure by next year you will be one hundred percent night trained; you take your nap without diapers now and are doing great! You have learned so much and I can see that you thirst for more knowledge all the time and I hope that I can teach you as well as you need and want to be taught.
I think I have passed my love for Disneyland and all things Disney to you. You love Disney movies and yell "dinneyland" at the beginning of all the movies when they show the castle. You love Cars and know all of the characters by name, you've got lots of Cars books and love to read them over and over again. You call Lighting McQueen "Queen" you love Mater and have a few of him in different sizes, you love Mack truck and always want to bring yours in the car. I can't wait to take you to Disneyland, I keep bugging your Daddy about it, it will happen soon enough, I'm sure.
I know every year just keeps getting better and I wish time would slow down a little bit. I want to savor every second that I have with you and be the best Momma I can for you. You are the sweetest little bug and I love you more and more everyday, I'm not sure how that's possible, but it is; the love I have for you gives me a small glimpse of how much our Heavenly Father must love us all. Happy Birthday my big two year old handsome little man, I LOVE YOU more than you can imagine, keep being my little angel bug!!!
Love,
Momma
