each day we wake up and it is like cooper discovered and learned something new while he was sleeping in his crib (or sometimes lack there of...) He stands in his crib and throws things and begs to be picked up. when you go in you can't help but smile at his cute face greeting you. He rolls all over that crib when he sleeps it is amazing... so much for swaddling!!! He now can pull himself up on every and anything - my favorite is when he tries to pull himself up on my pants while i am doing the dishes.
He can make himself sit (sitting has been a bit of a struggle for cooper as he would rather move around then sit by himself - he really didn't master the art of sitting when placed that way until about 7 months cause he'd rather crawl everywhere.) He now has given away the army crawl and is full fours crawling everywhere! :) He is getting really good at eating and feeding himself. he favorites include peas, puff, bananas and pancakes. He is a pain to change his diaper because he rolls every which way but the way you want him to be while changing his diaper. So we have had a few more 'showers' then we'd desire!!! :)
he is the best when he poos - because he crawls into the kitchen most times to do this and grunts while he is doing it... too funny! (we know you love that detail and we are sure he'll love that we shared that one day.) And he can make a mess of his toys - he love his toys and exploring everything they can do. he also can crawl right into the basket and pull out EVERY toy he owns and trash the living room with it. isn't he too young to make a mess? guess not. he is up to 7 teeth with the next on the horizon. when i step back and think 9 months ago he was just born and so helpless i am in total awe of the beauty of human life and all the development he achieves. at his 9m ck up he was 20.4 lb (45%) and 29in (75%) and head 47cm (90%) he gets his big head from his papa right? tall skinny man!!!
all we know is we are so blessed to be cooper's parents - we love him so!!!
