8 months

Cooper's life at 8 months old!

Weight: 18.13 lbs - 49% (we had to go to the doc, more on that later..)

Clothes Size: 9 months

Diaper Size: 3

Tooth Count: ONE!! Top right, Cooper, you decided that you need top teeth first.

Babbles: I can't count it as your first "word" but you frequently say "dadada"

This may be my fav picture ever... (he waves!)

What it is really like trying to take your picture these days...

You are constantly ON THE GO...

"ENOUGH MOM!"

Big news: You are on the move! I was talking to Dad on the speaker phone and you started army crawling to the sound of your Dad's voice! It was amazing! Currently, you are obsessed with remote controls, cell phones, your monitor... so I may have used that to my advantage to get some footage of your latest skill. 

You are eating two meals a day now. Breakfast usually consists of oatmeal and a fruit. For dinner you have two veggies. Your favs are squash, carrots, and sweet potatoes...which leads me to why you had an extra doctors visit. You needed a little more fiber in the ol' diet. 

You love hanging out with your PEPS buddies

Mommy does too

Big boy in the shopping cart

You take a morning and afternoon nap everyday. You are a very good napper. It is not unusual for your naps to last two to three hours! At night you go to bed around 7 and sleep until 5 or 6. Most nights you wake up once to eat. Lately you have been a very grumpy sleeper. Maybe it's the teeth, the new skills, all the growing...I don't know but kid you fight sleep some nights. I can always get you to fall asleep in my arms and sometimes you get to stay there cause I need sleep too. And who doesn't love to snuggle a baby?!

You started drinking water from your sippy cup. You are still trying to master that skill, so I give you water in a bottle to make sure you get your h2O.

Hanging with Sienna! Trying to get a picture of the two of you is getting more difficult

Remote obsession

Waiting for the doctor. You are such a good boy when we are out and about, quietly observing the world around you.

Such a good restaurant patron! 

You have started to pull yourself up on things! Steady? Not so much. But you are getting there!

Hanging with your Uncle Kyle & Aunt Keri

Happy boy in the bath!

Out with the family!  

You love your Nana!

Having a meeting with your dogs

You LOVE books! 

It is important to take them ALL out. So you know what your options are.

Cooper, you reveal more and more of your personality every day. We just adore you, buddy.
