Giving Into Peer Pressure

Okay these pictures are totally out of order and my "update" is stuck in the middle. It won't let me fix it so whatever!

Cooper and his buddy Luka. 10 months old.

About 9 months old.

Eating a pickle. He loved pickles, but when his teeth came in

I had to stop giving them to him because he was bitting off chunks.

Maybe when he gets more teeth we can start eatig them again.

Learning to use his sippy cup. He's a pro now!

Around the time he started crawling and pulling up on things

About 7 1/2 months old.

In the wagon he got for Christmas.

So I haven't updated the blog in like 5 months and everybody is always on my case about it. So I guess I will give it another try! Cooper has changed so much since my last blog! He is walking now, which is crazy! He weighs 23 pounds, so he's still a big healthy boy. He is very strong and VERY active! His hair is out of control, but daddy wants to let it get long and shaggy. He stopped eating baby food about 2 months ago, even though he still only has two teeth. We only have 6 weeks left on the bottle (YAY!) I am already planning the big 1st birthday party! I even took a cake decorating class in preperation for the big event. So I guess I will post some of my favorite pictures from the last few months. Most of my favorite pics were taken with my new camera and are stored on my other computer, so I will have to add those later.

Getting his haircut for the first time.

6 months old

Playing Santa

Laughing at daddy

Almost 10 1/2 months

Little Turkeys!

Cooper and his friends Max & Hannah!

Cooper's first Thanksgiving dinner!

He usually doesn't get so messy, but it's hard to feed him when I can't see his face!

World's Sweetest Turkey!

Here Comes Santa Claus!

Coop went to see Santa today! Our real estate agent's office had little thing, as a gift to their customers they hired a Santa and Mrs. Claus and a photographer and gave you a CD of your pics for free. I thought it beat the heck out of waiting in line at the mall! I think it was the real Santa claus too! He had such a nice Santa suit. He did try to give my 5 month old a candy cane though. I told him that he's a little to little for that!

(As Todd would say) Mommy dressed Cooper up like a dork in a holiday sweater-vest, turtleneck, jeans, and penny loafers! He looked so cute! He did smile while Santa was holding him, they just didn't catch it in the pictures!

He Did It!!!!!

Cooper finally rolled from his back to his belly today! He did it once this afternoon and then again right after Todd got home from work! I was happy he did again for Todd to see! It has been a whole month since the first time he rolled from his belly to his back, and he still only does that occassionally. I couldn't have been any prouder!

He Loves his Daddy

As you can see Daddy has even gotten used to being spit up on!

Cooper and his Daddy are really starting to bond. When Todd is in the room he stares at him the whole time! (I'm only a little jealous!) Todd is a great dad! He's getting really good at playing, changing diapers, feeding him, and putting him to bed. He is also starting to get more comfortable being alone with him so I can get all that important shopping in!

By the way he reached for somone one for the first time the other day. It wasn't me or Todd. It was my friend Amy! We were out shopping and he reached up for her to get him out of his stroller. The little toot! He was supposed to reach for his mommy first!

Little Monkey

Not the best picture, but he is holding his own bottle now!

Well Cooper's first Halloween is over. He had a ball... okay he had no clue what was going on. But Mommy and Daddy had fun! Looking forward to Thanksgiving and CHRISTMAS!!!
