He sure did look cute, though!

Runner Up Costume - A Lion? Cooper didn't quite agree!

Sometimes I wonder how God blessed us with the cutest little boy in the world! We are so lucky to call Cooper our son.

Halloween 2007

Cooper decided that the best fit costume would be a pirate. I think the hat is what sold it since he LOVES hats! He is hysterical in it and has worn it every couple of days to get used to it. I better slow down or he may want to wear it all the time!

Cooper Loves to Play Outside!

I know that it has been months since I have posted any photos and let me apologize. Cooper has kept us super busy along with work and life! He is now 18 1/2 months old and runs the show! He is extremely active and LOVES sports! He thinks everything and anything is a ball...or, excuse me, a "Ga". And, footballs, baseballs, and basketballs are "Ga-Ga's". Maybe spelling it looks funny but it is the cutest thing to hear! So, here are a few updated photos and I hope that everyone enjoys them!

Auntie Em and Coop taking a swim

My new favorite photo! How cute are these 2? Cooper would walk into the pool with his clothes on if we let him. A true water baby.

Boy, he thought he was funny!

Coop stole Daddy's Full Monty hat!

Mommy's 2 Firemen!

Daddy was able to join in on the fun as well!

We even got to ride on the fire truck!

He loved his new fireman hat!

Cooper drives a fire truck!

He is getting so BiG

The boy is a water baby.

We have been having a great time in the pool.

A good time at the beach was had by all!

He absolutely loved playing in the sand. Too bad the sand loved him so much that we brought half the beach home with us!

Coop had a blast at the beach. He will truly grow up a "sun baby". He is already working on his Coppertone baby tan.

Coop's 1st Beach Trip!

He ran straight for the water, ladies and gentlemen! This child has NO FEAR! What will we do with him?

This kid LOVES water!

Cooper and I went to play in the fountains at Fishhawk (a neighborhood down the road from us) with some of the mom's and kids from our playgroup. Coop would stay in the water all day if I let him. He has so much fun getting wet I hate to be the bad guy and take him home. He has grown so much in a year that I'm not sure where the time has gone. Play, Coop, play!

COOPER IS WALKING!!!

It's official...Coop has been taking "baby steps" since about a week before his birthday but he is now giving us a run for our money! He is such a cutie when he walks. He looks like a drunk Irishmen, whether he is tired (or drunk :-)) or not! We are so excited that he has almost accomplished walking. Now, if he were only off to college.........

The final result...boy, was he a mess. It took 2 days to scrub away all the strawberry juice that stained his skin! Being a mom...it's the best, even on a day like this!

Here is a cute photo of the boy picking strawberries. We went to a place with our playgroup to pick strawberries and the boy had a blast! I think he ate more than we picked!

Coop loved the wading pool after the cake!

Daddy took Coop on a quick spin in the bouncy castle before the party started!

The Official "COOPAPALOOZA" Banner! (thanks to Uncle Richie)

Daddy took the hose to Cooper when he was done!

DIGGING IN!!!

Coop tearing into his cake...

Initial landing in the cake....

Here's how the cake started...

Happy 1st Birthday, Cooper!

Check this kid out. He has hit the BIG 1. March 23, 2006 was when this guy came into our world. I still can't believe it. I feel like just yesterday I was still wondering around pregnant and wondering when I was going to have the baby. And yet here he is in all his glory. He had a great birthday party and a fun weekend to top it off. Our baby, Jacob Cooper Hinson, is 1. It is very cliche, but wow how time flies!

This picture was taken mid-January and I really can't believe how much time has passed. Nic' and I were just talking about what a cute little boy he has become. He truly is the light of our lives and I don't remember life before him. Thank God we were blessed with the cutest, sweetest, and most adorable little boy in the world.

We really enjoyed Cooper's 1st Christmas!

COOPER LOVED CHRISTMAS!

Cooper enjoyed Julia's piano so much that Auntie Em made sure there was one under the tree Christmas morning. He still bangs away on it. Maybe mom's dreams will come true and Cooper will become a world renown musician. I already know.......not if Daddy has anything to do with it!

Uncle Richie let Cooper gobble up some of the homemade cookies one of our great neighbors dropped off. As you can see I caught them in the act. Coop's sugar high was off the charts that day! Thanks, Uncle Richie!

Cooper NEVER misses a meal. Ever.

Uncle Richie made it for Coop's 1st Christmas!

Daddy said it...."All Coop needs is a box and a stick."

Coop met the "official" Santa at the mall and did a little bit of squirming!
