Vanishing spike

Grant's signature wacky adorable hair is slowly fading out. As his hair is growing longer, the weight of each strand seems to be preventing it from sticking up. Right now, depending on the humidity, if he's been wearing a hat, and how clean his hair is, his hair varies from totally "normal" (a.k.a. the contour of his head) to three or four big soft wavy curls perched on the top of his head. Matt and I are sad to see his hair changing, but I suppose it was inevitable.

It is looking like he's going to have light brown hair that has soft broad curls (they look a bit more like curls than waves to me) and bright blue eyes. He's also well on his way to charming all of Missoula into submission- he's extremely smiley and sweet, and often giggles quietly when people talk to him. The contrast with Cooper's shy and somewhat fearful nature when it comes to new people or situations couldn't be more stark.

With that said, Cooper is one heck of a kid. He's really good with names (which I am not) and loves to talk about people. He'll randomly say interesting things about his friends, to my endless amusement. (some names have been changed, and grammar is corrected for readability.)

"At daycare today, John was in timeout. He hit Charles, and Charles cried."

"Julie is Ollie's momma. Ollie likes sunscreen. I shared the slide with Ollie."

"Hannah played with my alligator toy. Hannah likes yogurt. Kristina is Hannah's momma. Momma is friends with Kristina."

He has a very sweet toddler crush on Hannah, our friend's daughter who is about 1 year younger than him. Hannah is a very outgoing yet gentle girl, and Cooper seems to just really dig her. He lets her use his toys, pet his hair (which is very funny to watch, as they both think it is SOO FUNNY), and he taught her how to ride her new scooter. They are totally adorable.
