All Cooper, All The Time

Can we please state for the record, yet again, how extremely lucky we are to have Cooper in our lives? He is just perfect - eats well, sleeps almost 12 hours at night, smiles/laughs constantly, and is exponentially learning new skills each and every day. We can't express how happy and grateful we are for the experience.

Cooper had his 9 month old doctor's appointment last week. He is now 22lbs 4oz (73%) and 29 inches (82%) - which is interesting because the last couple of appointments have had his weight in a higher percentile than his height. Our boy is definitely in a growth spurt.

Cooper is constantly on his hands and knees now. He is SO CLOSE to crawling, but at this point takes a few inches forward before changing direction or grabbing a new toy. He also has scooting backwards down to a science. Hey, as long as he has his eye on the prize.

Hide & Seek? Nope, this is a result of his backwards crawling ability.

TIGERS!!!!!

Ok, this is a picture of Maria's brother Michael when he was 13 months old. Can Cooper look any more like him?

The tradition continues..... Maria has kept a diaper from each stage (N, 1, 2, 3, 4) and lines them up for a photo every time Cooper's butt kicks it up a level. He is also quite close to abandoning his size '9 months' clothing. He is getting so big so quickly. Depressing!

Memories. We used this chair regularly. We love Bumbo.

So does Cooper love Bumbo? Not so much. Don't think he understood why he was down-graded since he is a master sitter now. (you know he is thinking, "what the hell?" at this point.)
