Now that Cooper can stand, I've been kind of picture crazy. Here are a few from this weekend.

Cooper really likes to play with his race track. But he usually climbs into it rather than play with his cars on it.

He really likes my camera
Cooper is getting ready to watch the big game with daddy. (didn't turn out the way they planned, maybe next year)


All this playing really makes me thirsty, better stop for a water break.

Do you think I could get Cooper to turn around for me so that I could take his picture.

Not a chance!

Cooper started pulling himself up and standing on his own last weekend. Now he thinks he's pretty hot stuff standing next to his toys or the couch as often as he can. It won't be long now before we are chacing after him.

Guess who won the game??

Daddy and I were really rooting for our team this afternoon. Good thing they pulled it off.

Two more games to go!!!

Go Bears!!

Look what I can do!!!

The three of us were in the living room and Cooper crawled over to his toys to play. John quietly told me to look at what he was doing. As you can see we are pretty impressed with our little guy.

I don't think any thing is going to be safe in this house now!!

Warning, Be in the look out!!

Apparently, Cooper has been told that there is a "weenie burglar" on the loose. It appears he is supposed tostrike either when Cooper is getting his diaper changed or during bath time!. Cooper has been very diligent protecting himself from this mysterious thief!!

I really thought this little faze would come a bit later, but I guess not. Just have to love little boys!!

What??

If you can't tell, Cooper really likes playing with his race cars that Grandma Mel and Grandpa George gave to him for Christmas. We may need to tell him how to play with it again. That the little race cars go on the track, not him!!

We are 8 months

Well, yesterday I was 8 months old.

I'm 17lbs 11oz and right around 26 1/2 inches long.

I've started army crawling all over the house and this last weekend have

started sleeping though the night for mommy and daddy. Don't get me wrong, I'm not sleeping in, but I don'twake up intil around 5:30 - 6:00 in the morning.

I really like to hold onto mommy and daddy's hands and walk around the house to see what I can get into!

two pretty handsome guys!!
Seriously!

Here I am showing mommy and daddy that I can hold my own bottle. (when I want to). Usually I let them hold it for me, just trying to be nice!!

Oh boy., it slipped out of my hands

On the move

Cooper is so proud of himself, we aren't standing up on our own or walking but we can get up on all fours!

These aren't very good pictures, he was moving too much.

Cooper has also found all of our DVD's and that he really shouldn't be playing with them! "What?? I'm not doing anything!"

Ringing in the New Year

Since the temprature outside never got above -25 this weekend. Here are some pictures of how we rang in the New Year. We followed Aunt Becky and Cousin Jaxson's lead and celebrated with Australia aroun 6pm.

Cooper really likes playing with his new lawn mower that Uncle Jarred and Aunt Becky got him for Christmas. He always wants to get at the balls that pop around.
Here we are sitting up all on our own. Mom insisted on putting a pillow around me in case I got distracted and tipped over. I'm playing with my new V-tech Farm Yard that Uncle Jim and Aunt Rhonda gave me. I really like opening and shutting the door, because the music starts and stops.

This is a far into the kitchen as mommy will let me go. I haven't quite figured out how to put the peices on, but I sure do like taking them all off.

Hope you had as fun of 2010 as we did. We can't wait to see what 2011 will bring and we can't wait to see all of the mile stones that Cooper will cross.

Happy New Year. love John, Melissa and Cooper

Check out these chompers!!

Back on December 10th and 12th Cooper got his first two teeth. Now he constantly has either his hands in his mouth or a toy. He really likes scratching his teeth because of the sound it makes.

Hopefully you can see them. This is the best picture he'd let us take.
