3-2-1 Lift Off

It has happened. Cooper is officially a big boy. Well, not really, but he has reached a milestone and we are so excited! Cooper is crawling! It is more of a scoot-crawl; he just can't seem to get that right foot out from under his bottom, so he drags it underneath him in case he wants to sit on it. It's quite funny. He has also started a new string of sounds and words: ba ba ba, ma ma ma, and spitting. Yep, he literally spit squash out of his mouth yesterday. He is learning all of the sounds he can make with his lips and he loves to spit things out! I will post a video shortly for all to see!

Reflections

Today was filled with lots of things 'to do': David's first day of school, Cooper's 6 month doctor's visit, our wedding anniversary...a busy day to say the least.

Yes, David and I have been married for four years today. I can't believe how time flies by. Just yesterday he was picking me up for our first date to...Chilis! How sweet! It has been our favorite restaurant ever since. A lot has happened in the time that David and I have been together: we've both graduated from college, graduated from graduate programs, held our first 'real' jobs, owned a home, owned two cars, own all of the furniture in our house that was not a hand-me-down, been to many many weddings of our friends, been to some funerals, participated in four football seasons together and most of all- had a child. When I go to my ten year high school reunion next weekend, I think I'll have a lot to be proud of in my life! Not much changed from high school graduation through undergrad, but then after that it seemed as though time took off like a rocket! Where does it all go? I guess time really does fly when you're having fun! I'm looking forward to the next 70 years with David. I hope it's as fun as these last four have been! (oh, and white roses were delivered to my office this morning- gotta love that!)

Cooper went to the doc today. He is in the 65th percentile for everything- height and weight. He is 26 7/8 inches long and 19.6 pounds! Whoa hoss! And, of course, he is perfect in every way! Below is a pic of our fabulous doctor, Henry Garrard. He is THE BEST in town and we absolutely love him! David even gets excited to go see him! Cooper did very well with his shots today- he only had two and only made one yelp and was fine afterwards. Such a big boy!

Home Alone

If anyone were to try to break into our house, I'm sure they would end up with a broken neck, broken leg, broken arm, etc. Not because David would beat them up, but because our house is secured with very inventive booby traps. It's much like the house in the movie Home Alone...Cooper's walker is in front of the kitchen door, his play mat and light-up thingy is in front of the front door, most of his toys are strewn about the living room and the kitchen and occasionally there is a puddle of spit up just waiting to throw some unsuspecting thief onto their rear end like that of a banana peel (do those really work? really?). Anyway, below is a picture of our newest security item, or Cooper's walker to be more exact. I sure hope Santa does not decide to slide down our chimney this Christmas- Cooper's jumperoo is in front of that as well...
