You are doing it!

You are signing. You will sing please, more, eat and done. Sure it is not the exact sign but when I ask you you get it and sign. When I praise you and tell you good boy you get all excited.
Your bottom left molar is in now. A few weeks ago Daddy and I came to get you out of your crib in the morning and daddy had just opened the blind and you pointed and said, "Dad di dat" Dad did that. We were so amazed!
You LOVE the pool. You have so much fun in it! You love the water fountain by our house too. It is so neat to see your interaction day by day. You still come to tell me if you need a diaper change.
You still continue to amaze me.....

Ok Little man.....

Mommy is SO PROUD of you! You have kicked the soother. No more soother for you. You are doing so well. You did great during the transition. You are getting better at falling asleep without it too.
You had your one year shots on Monday. (the 23rd) and you did well with that too! You got 4 shots. One in each arm and each leg. You did get a rash from the MMR shot but are doing fine now. The chicken pox one is the one I worry about. You *could* develop chicken pox. It could occur as soon as 10 days or as long as a month afterwards. I hope you don't get it!
You weigh 21lbs and are 29 and 1/4 inches long. Funny cause a year ago you were 7lbs 7ozs and only 19.5" long. My how time has flown!!

your first birthday

You had such a wonderful time and you were so spoiled. We love you little man! Here is a slide show of some pictures. You grew so fast. This slide show is of your party.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR SPECIAL LITTLE MAN.
You are one today! We love you. You are the greatest gift in our lives!!
Love you Cooper.
Love: Mommy & Daddy!

Cooper you make me LAUGH!!!

Ahhh.....the innocence
We have this old table we are taking to donate so it is out in the living room today cause we are taking it tonight. There is no glass in it but I turned around and this is what I saw............
(You thought it was great fun!)

I can't keep up!

You are learning so much so fast and I can't believe that you will be on in 4 DAYS!! Where did the time go!!
Over the weekend (April 6) you learned how to stand up from a sitting position. All on your own. Your lower right molar is half way through. I haven't recorded it yet but I think I will record it as a week ago. The date may be a bit off cause I didn't write it down right away.
You talk up a storm. Mostly baby babble but it is still cute.
Yesterday you did something really funny.
I don't normally wear shorts yet this time of year but I was wearing them around the house yesterday. My legs needed to be shaved though. So I was standing there and you were patting my legs cause it is all new to you. Then you thought the stubble was great fun and kept patting me. Then you looked closely and tried to pinch the hair and pull it off! It was so funny. Like you were trying to get rid of the stubble. HAHA.
You love swimming. We took you down to Birch Bay. Mommy, Daddy, Uncle Dennis and Auntie Sue. You loved the pool. You were having lots of fun in your floaty.



I've got some stuff to get together for your birthday party. We are having it at Auntie Sue's. She was so kind to let us host it there.
You practically run too sometimes. You rarely, if ever, crawl now.
I can't believe it has been almost a year!
Love you little man!

poor cooper......

you just got diagnosed with your first ear infection.
Poor baby :(

Cooper, Cooper, Cooper......

you are growing SO much! Since Sunday you have been letting go of furniture and taking those first wobbly steps. Your most amount of steps so far has been 4 or so. You will let go of furniture or whatever you were hanging onto and just stand there. For seconds on end.
Auntie Sue's futon is low to the ground, you even climbed up that just to get to her. You climb stairs like it is no effort what so ever. Which I find amazing in itself cause there is no stairs in our condo but one day at Auntie Sue's you just started going up them.
You are so smart. I can see it already. You are such a happy baby. I am so proud of you.
LOVE YOU LITTLE MAN!!
Love Mommy

you are all boy!!

Yesterday I was nursing you and your legs were just going a mile a minute! Then you farted. Then without even taking your mouth away from the breast you smiled and laughed. Then I laughed. Then you giggled then stopped and went right back to eating.
You are so funny!

I GOTTA SHARE THIS!!!

YOU TOOK TWO STEPS about 15 minutes ago!!
I was sitting on the floor in front of your recliner in your room and you were standing. I was trying to read you a story but I gave up and let go. I was about to get all excited and clap cause you were standing then you shuffled two steps towards the recliner. THEN I was practically jumping up and down and clapping my hands all excited. Bummed that Daddy isn't here to share it with me but what can ya do!!
So I thought I would share it with you all!!
Happy Valentines Day.

MORE TEETH!!!

You got your sixth tooth on the 12th and your seventh on the 16th. You are just pushing them through!!!
You have been getting more and more daring at trying to stand without holding onto anything. It is so neat to watch you do that!!
Well, little man, that was just an update for ya.
Love you with all my heart.

you are getting too big too fast little man!!

YOu were totally spoiled for Christmas.


you didn't seem all too interested in opening presents or going to the church service but you were dressed as cute as a button, as usual. ;)
YOu said your first sentence on the 23rd. You said Hi Dad. We were in walmart and Daddy was trying on some work shoes out of site from us. Then he stepped into site and you went HI DAD!! Daddy looked at me and asked, did he just say hi dad? and I said, I think so. A lady beside me said, oh yeah...He definately said hi dad. Cool. Your first sentence.
On the 31st you stood all by yourself for the first time. It was a whole 2 seconds but still. I saw you let go out of the corner of my eye. I went to reach for you and I think that is what startled you. I thought you were about to fall. But nope! You were testing your limits and seeing if you can stand.
WOW!!!

My Family and me

You have grown so much

it totally knocks me off my feet in amazement.
You are almost too big to lay width wise in your crib. I remember when you were almost too small to lay that way. You looked so tiny in that crib.

more teeth!!

Yes, I got my two top teeth but I also got ANOTHER bottom one. Mommy says I am moving too fast. I am loving to stand. I crawl right to mommy or daddy. That is fun! Mommy or Daddy will just hollor when it is bath time and I come all the way to the tub.
Oh well, mommy says it is nap time. See ya all later!!
HUGS

You cut your two top teeth

see the dates? yeah it has been a fun few days round here!!


You really are a funny little boy. You are motoring around the house now. Got the worm crawl all figured out. You can go from sitting to tummy without bonking your noggin too hard. Actually I just looked over and you went from sitting to being on your hands and knees. You really are amazing! The amount of stuff you learn!! I will start the bath and call for you when you are in the living room. And the next thing I know I hear you grunting your way down the hall. All the way to the tub. It is so neat and fun. You continue to amaze me every day.
Man little man

I got gifts from my friend Joel and his mommy Mrs. Christy

Thank you for the presents! I love it and am looking forward to all those cloth diapers on my bum. Although mommy said she has to ask you some questions Mrs. Christy. Hehe.

Here's pictures of me opening my first gifts.







I would much rather eat the paper right now Mom!


OH!! What's in here?!


Wow wooden toys and diapers!! YAY!!




THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! HUGS

Poor little boy

OK. I guess I have some catching up to do. You have been sick. I slept on the floor of your room for two nights in a row. On couch cusions on the floor. Yesterday I was playing with you and you threw up on me. RIGHT IN MY EYE! It was so gross but I couldn't stop laughing!
You were a pumpkin for halloween.




TOO CUTE!!
You crawled RIGHT TO ME yesterday. I signed milk and you came right to me.
Also you still really love your bath. You really enjoy the water.



We took you to go and feel leaves. Daddy took a great picture of us.



I guess this is just an update. You are loving solids. You are growing so fast. Next thing I know you will be 1! Crazy! I love you more then life itself little man. You continue to amaze me every day!
Love Mommy

You went to the pumpkin patch today

Your first trip. You liked it. Looking around. We lost a shoe though. :(
You saw pigs, llamas, bunnies, goats and lots of pumpkins!

real food...

well almost!!
You started rice cereal on Sunday. I made it really thin but you didn't really like it. Only ate a teaspoon. The next day you were ready more and were opening your mouth for the next bite. I made it a little thicker. Then thicker yesterday and today as well. You like it. You even made a mmmmm noise. You ar growing so fast! Mommy can't keep up!
You also got a new car seat. Sigh.....What a big boy.
