O-M-G

One thing that there is no doubt about is that our Cooper is a very expressive little guy. People always say that Cooper looks just like Josh...that even though he has Julia's eyes, nose and coloring, there's something about his face and especially his expressions that make him look exactly like his daddy. To which Josh always replies, "You mean I make crazy super exaggerated faces all the time??" We'll let everyone else be the judge on that one.

When Cooper gets excited, we can't help but totally crack up at his reactions. His mouth turns into a little "O" and he flaps his hands and his whole body starts shaking, which we call his OOO-M-G reaction. He started doing it right when he turned 3 months old and has been doing it ever since. The first time we captured his excited face was back in January. Josh likes to say that the Rebels' Cotton Bowl victory started it all:

Now that he can stand and is starting to get mobile, he gets his whole body in the mix and shakes and waves whenever he's excited. In Tahoe, Uncle Alex and Auntie Nikki found that little golf balls did the trick, and Cooper entertained everyone:

We love how expressive our little guy (for better and for worse...he definitely expresses himself when he's upset, too!!) and hope he always keeps his sense of wonder and excitement!
