Birthday Boy

Cooper just had his first birthday and he is officially a Big Boy now! I don't know, it seems like now that he is one, he is changing so much. He definitely knows what he wants and he will make sure that you know it. He is also starting to walk. He has to have a target to walk to, but with two older siblings that is easy. He had a great birthday. I can't believe a year has gone by already. I'm excited for this summer, he is going to be so fun.
I love this next picture, because of the look on his face. The little dog was talking and singing and he was trying to figure it all out.
He was in heaven with his new car from Grandma and Grandpa. All of the older kids loved it too! It was perfect for him and the back of it even says, CZY COUP. (so fitting)

Ok, gross! Chad has a history of doing gross things, when it comes to raising our kids. (like partially chewing up their meat when they are babies, and taking it out and feeding it to them. . . I know, I know) So, it was not out of character when Cooper stuck his foot (which was dirty from walking) into the frosting of his cake and Chad decided to suck it off.
Well, for the first time, one of my kids did not dive into their cake. Cooper really wasn't at all interested in the cake. He played with the frosting for a minute, but when it came to eating it, he wasn't interested (weird!) I guess it is because he is a fruit junkie and truly that is all he wants to eat. I'm convinced that he was switched at birth, but I will take him.
Apparently he is exhausted from being 1, or maybe it is the time change. When I went downstairs to type this, he was playing with Carson. When I came up to check on them, he was passed out in the hall.

In other Grundy news, Abby was the Star Student in February. She was so excited! They gave her some awards and a special pin. She absolutely loves school and she has been doing so good. We are super proud of her.
Carson is just as crazy as ever. I took this video of him about two months ago. Honestly, I never taught him this, and I don't even have this song. I guess we listen to a lot of radio. He was in his room singing and I surprised him. . . .but that didn't stop him. Put it this way, soon after Chad saw this, he signed him up for T-ball.

Here is me and Abby trying to get my other son to dance to Beyonce. Maybe that's the problem!?
