Cooper

Cooper is 9 1/2 months old!

He is adorable, sweet, demanding, squishy, stubborn and did I mention adorable??

I swear he could be the next Gerber Baby.

His hair grows like a weed. I've cut it 4 times.

He is now crawling and loving it. He chews on everything and pants like a puppy dog which prompted Adam one morning to actually ask me if Cooper was in fact a dog or his little brother.

He has 9 teeth. Yes. You read that right. 9 teeth and a few more on the way.
He refuses to take a bottle anymore so I've resorted to some very creative methods in order to make sure that he gets some formula daily.
He went from eating only 2 kinds of baby food, to now eating quite a variety although we are still pretty sure he will not be a big fan of vegetables.

He loves toys and interacts with everyone and everything around him. He loves cars and trucks, books (to chew on) and dinosaurs. Adam is wonderful about sharing all of his toys with his little brother. Cooper is a social bug that is happy as long as he has someone to keep him company.

He is incredibly strong. He sat like this for nearly 20 minutes because he didn't like the grass touching his toes. He cracks us up :)


I have never seen a baby that is so quick to smile and we love that gap-toothed grin. I still have to restrain myself from eating him up daily. He is getting more cuddly which this mama loves. He can say mama and dadda and ada (Adam?). He can clap his chubby little hands and reaches his arms above his head when we ask him to stretch.

He loves water. The first time we put him in the big tub, it took both Clayton and I a combined effort to keep him contained, restrained and alive. He was so excited we thought he might burst from joy as he splashed and rolled around in the bubbles.

He keeps us very busy and constantly on our toes.

We love him to pieces.
