You can find 1 year old pictures on the next post... Once I get more pictures from his birthday party I will try to post them.

Cooper weighs 19# 14oz

28 1/2 inches tall

And just started walking today! He took 10 steps across the living room!

Tulsa zoo

Well, it has been a long time since the last update. I want to try to keep up with this especially since our family in Germany needs to see pictures of this adorable little boy!


Cooper turned 1 on Wednesday and we took him to the Tulsa zoo. He really seemed to like it! It was just really hot!

He loved the monkeys!

Petting the baby goats!

We kept telling him we were going to see really big "kit cats" but he fell asleep just before we found them.

Daddy fed him to the lions!

Its hard to believe he is already 1. This has been the shortest year of my life and also the best!

I am going to post more pictures tonight, so sorry that they will be out of order!

He's gonna be a stinker!

Well, I don't blog too much anymore because I can't seem to find the time. Also, I always have an awful time uploading pictures and fixing the type on the blog posting site.
Cooper will be 7 months on Sunday!
He is:

Crawling
Singing
Eating all kinds of foods
Sleeping mostly through the night with a few naps in the day
Smiling
Can still wear 3-6 month clothes
In the 15th percentile for weight (aka he is really small)
At 6 months weighed in at 15lbs 9oz
Sits without support
Goes from sitting to crawling and crawling to sitting

With this whole crawling business, he is getting into everything. He is opening drawers on the dresser and knocking over baskets of toys! He is able to entertain himself for longer periods of time.
Here are a few pictures... They should go from most recent to youngest.

Here is a link to watch him crawling : http://sharing.theflip.com/session/a38bd05f76618e4b4aac7f448d4e23c8/video/10175842

Pictures!

It's shake 'n bake... and I helped!

Stats

Cooper is now 2 months old! He has gotten so big but is still so little!

Here are his stats:
Weight: 11lbs 3.5 oz-(38th percentile)
Head: 39.2 cm- (31st percentile)
Height: 21.75 inches (10th percentile)

So it looks like Cooper has his momma's height... It's so funny because we think he is SO big, but he is a little on the small side still.
He had his shots yesterday and he did so well. He cried real hard while he got them and just a little afterward and he fell right to sleep. He was still running a slight fever today. Poor little fella...

Here are some fun tricks that Cooper can do now:
-smile
-laugh
-eye contact
-good eye tracking
-stand up (with just a little help)
-rolling over (front to back)
-sleep 5-6 hours at a time
-splashing in the tub
-opening his hands
- burp so long and loud it would make my dad (steve) blush
-somehow roll from back to front and flip around in the night... we find him on the complete opposite side to the crib sometimes....
-theres much more but I can't think

He loves his clothes from Germany

He looks like a thug here... so funny

At the first picnic

Scooted himself up off the wedge...

Dressed up to go golfin


A onesie I made....

We are still here!

So, I know that it has been a while, but life with a newborn and trying to finish up this school thing is crazy! Cooper has had 2 road trips, one to Branson, and one to Memphis where he met his cousin who is 3 weeks younger than he is! Here are our most recent pictures!

This is when we went to Memphis to meet Alexis Ann!

Meet Alexis Ann! 8/3/09...3:45 pm... 8lbs 9oz.... 21 inches

Cooper gets himself into the weirdest positions!

Daddy and Diddle fell asleep.

Snuggled in beside daddy on the couch. I have such handsome boys!

Momma loves her some naked baby! Such a cute little booty!

His first full BabyGap outfit..... didn't go so well!

Coop's 1 month birthdaycake! No I am not "punk rock" Cooper's nursery theme is pirates so I thought this would be cute!

The duck towel is wonderful!

Swimming!

He loves his trunks! My dad's neighborhood association had a big pool party and Cooper was invited! It was fun taking him there because mommy started worked there 10 years ago all through high school.
