Happy Birthday Cooper!

Because his birthday is just before Christmas, Cooper gets the opportunity to celebrate his birthday for about a month!  As a family, we always celebrate his birthday on his actual birth date.  However, we know that most everyone is so busy just before Christmas so for the past two years, we have celebrated his birthday with friends and extended family after the new year.  Cooper doesn't seem to mind having an entire month or so dedicated to him so we're running with it-it doesn't hurt that, each time we celebrate, there is always cake for him to eat:)
Here are some pictures from his birthday extravaganza...

On December 21st, our sweet baby boy turned two!  Where has the time gone?  It is so hard to believe that he is quickly turning from our little baby into a curious and fearless little boy! 
On the morning of his birthday, we all woke Cooper up by singing "Happy Birthday"!  Of course he ate it up!

After decorating our gingerbread house and making Christmas cookies earlier in the day, we ended his special day with cupcakes and sang "Happy Birthday" to him once again.
Mommy helped Cooper blow out his candles as he made a wish
Yummy!
Look at that face!
We celebrated his birthday in January with an Elmo party.  Once again, Aunt Jenn and her mom made Cooper's outfit and did a fantastic job!  Cooper had a great time at his party and was very thankful for all of his friends and family that were able to come and help him celebrate.
Of course his party would not have been complete without a birthday cake made by BeBe.  It was too cute, and delicious as well!
Making a wish...
Pinata time!
Oohh...presents!

Once school started back after Christmas break, Cooper celebrated his birthday at school with all of his classmates.
Once again, cupcakes were on the agenda...
Can you tell that Cooper really loves Elmo?
Mmmm....
This is so good...
What a mess!!
I think it's time for a wet wipe or two...
