summer vacation is coming to an end

I guess I shouldn't whine that summer vacation is coming to an end. We are blessed to have jobs that give us the summer off. Steve always starts back a few weeks early as the fall sports teams start back for practice and today was the first day back.
It was just Cooper and me today. We had fun, but we missed Daddy.

I haven't updated on the new things Cooper is doing:
Knows his head, nose and belly. He also points to other people's noses and grabs them.
Gives the best kisses. Wide open mouth and and says "ahhhh" when he wants one
plays with his Little People bus and tries to get the right shaped pieces in the bus
Has a few toys that require him to get the pieces in and he is very persistant when doing it
Makes the cutest scrunchy nose
Gives hugs and cuddles up to you when he isn't busy playing
Knows his section of the pantry and will get his own snack
Can sign for drink and can tell us when he wants a drink
When you say bye bye he waves says "die die" and blows kisses
When he hears "yeah" he immediately starts clapping and cheering
Goes up and down the stairs. When going down he backs so that he can slide down on his belly. He is trying to walk up the stairs when we are holding his hands
and lastly is letting us know when he does not want to do something. I've had 2 instances at home where he throws himself down on the floor because I am making him do stop doing something he wants to keep doing or won't give him something he wants. I can't help but laugh because he's so darn cute when he does it!!
