Cooper Allan Whidden

Cooper Allan Whidden was born February 29, 2004. The second child in the Whidden Family and was quite the surprise edition (hence only 13.5 months younger than his sister).
Cooper is such a sweet boy and so I tribute a few special things about Cooper for his well, second, official Birthday coming up.

1. He loves Woody and Buzz and has for some time. He did switch for a few months to Spider man, but he is loyal to his Toy Story friends.
2. He loves Pancakes, I am really not sure what he calls them, something close to pancakes but he could eat them all day.
3. He Hates MONSTERS INC. and if he thinks it is going to come on, be on, or anything to do with it, he FREAKS OUT.
4. He wakes Bauer up every morning, and he gets him to roam around the house with him.
5. He doesn't like change, he is a pretty consistent kid.
6. I did not potty train him, we went on vacation for my Birthday and he stayed with Grandma, they told him that I forgot the diapers and so he couldn't wear any, and that ended the diaper era for Cooper.
7. He loves to go to Grandma's house. He has all of special things there. Inspector Gadget movie, pancakes, all his favorite toys.
8.He LOVES to be tickled, I mean LOVES, you can stop him in his tracks, by pulling up his sleeve and tickling his arm.
9. He 99% of the time needs some time to warm up, even as he gets used to things (pre-school, sunbeams...etc...) he just needs a moment to observe the situation with people leaving him alone.
10. I remember finding out I was pregnant again and honestly starting to cry, overwhelmed with a lot of emotions. I remember a few times after he was born trying to go places, Dr. visits, the store etc....I didn't think I was going to make it, people asking me if I needed help. It is funny how things work out and today having him as my little boy. I couldn't be more blessed.
One funny thing he says I want to add; whenever his food is too hot he always says "TOASTY".
It is so funny.
Love you Cooper!!!
