He may look like his Mama

A couple of months after Cooper was born, I read about this Canadian couple who was going to raise their baby without regard to gender.  Only the mother, father, siblings and midwives know the sex of the baby named Storm.  Ok, that's extreme but before Cooper had a personality I had to wonder if it was really that simple.

We found out quickly that it was, for us at least.  All the pink dresses in the world wouldn't change this:

The boy may be my spitting image, but he is his father's son.  Everything that Daddy does he is all about.  His favorite toy right now is the "BOWWWWWWER" = (blower) .  He follows his Daddy around with a golf club saying "Daddy! Daddy! This! This!", trying to get him to hit a ball with him.  He has learned how to cast and reel in a fishing line, although I think both of his grandfathers had something to do with that too!  He has stuffed animals a' plenty, but the only thing he wants to do with those is throw them at you.  Nice.

I'm pretty sure the only time he stands still is when he is watching his Daddy do something with tools:

Oh and the mud.  Oh, the mud, the dirt, the water and the bugs.  How is it fair that I too get Kyle's "payback"!?!

Oh well, at least he looks like me!
