{12-15 months} Cooper's Favorites!

• 8" Monster Treads Steiger Shake N Sound : This tractor is very cool!  It has a little gray button on it to activate shaking and monster engine sounds.  Cooper still loves to play with the tractor, along with trucks and trains.
• Elevate Kitchen Utensil Set by Joseph Joseph : I got these as a gift a couple Christmases ago.  In the past few months, Cooper has discovered that there are items in kitchen drawers and these are some of his favorite things to take out.  He'll carry one around the house, sometimes hitting things with it or trying to get Mitsy, our mini Schnauzer.  We've been working on the "hitting isn't nice" deal . . .
• Step2 All Around Wagon : Everyone LOVES this wagon!  I searched high and low for what I felt was a useful wagon . . . and decided on this one.  If you follow the link and click through the photos you will see it has some cool storage space - I just really loved that idea, especially if we want to take it on a trip to the zoo or take some items with us to the park.  Cooper and his buddy, Weston, ride in it almost every day.  Weston loves to come over and ask for a "ride" and then point across to the other seat and say "Ooper"!  
• LeapFrog Animal Adventure Learning Table :  Cooper got this table as a first birthday gift from some friends.  The day went like this : everyone came over, we opened gifts, we had some lunch, sang Cooper his birthday song, watched him eat some cake, and then he crashed into a nap!  However, RIGHT after his nap this was the first toy he went to and he loved listening to it and pushing its buttons so much.  Lately he's been pushing it around the house and flipping it upside down.  Apparently he doesn't want to learn to count or say his ABC's anymore . . .
• Melissa & Doug Geometric Stacker : This thing is so fun!  At first Cooper didn't quite get the idea of taking off and putting back on.  He gets that now and it's so fun watching him.  Next idea to get is to put them all together in the correct place, like the picture shows.  He likes to mix them up!
