So Creative

So Bobby took these pictures today and they are too funny not to share. So I guess Coop decided that playing with the drawers wasn't good enough, to have the appropriate amount of fun one must climb in the drawers.

But you must have activities to do while in the drawer, reading sounds like a good idea!
"This may be the greatest idea I have ever had!"

Getting in and out isn't the easiest task but obviously worth the effort.

He is just too funny. Oh Coop I love you and all your crazy ideas!

My Crazy Little Boy!

Cooper in all of his 1 year old glory!!!

Cooper turned 1 on the 18Th and I just can't seem to get it into my head that he is that old yet. He has grown so much in that year and has accomplished so much! A day before his birthday he walked all on his own and now he is walking like a pro, it amazes me that he can pick something up so quickly. He waves goodbye and says his version of Bye "BA" when he does it. He thinks that the Kitchen is the best room in the house because there are so many places to get in. I moved some of his sippy cups and other utensils into a drawer so he would play with them instead of pulling all the baggies out of their boxes but now all he wants to do is play in the drawer under the stove. Apparently it makes a really good seat, I turned around the other night and he was just sitting in it like that was a normal thing to do.

Explanation for the picture above- So... when I took him in to get his 1 year pictures done he had a completely different agenda. He wouldn't hold still at all and did pretty much whatever her wanted for like 20 minutes. In this one he was rolling all over the couch laughing at himself. The girl doing the pictures was probably totally annoyed with me because instead of doing something about it I just laughed. How could anyone be mad at that goofy face!

The tongue thing has been going on for a couple of weeks now. I don't really get it but it makes me smile when I see this picture. He is such a goofball.

Don't let this look fool you, he is just pretending for a moment to be a perfect little angel.

9 Month Pictures

Cooper is already 10 months old but I am just getting around to posting his 9 month pictures. I know that I say it a lot but time really does go by so fast now that he is in our lives. These were taken like 2 days after he turned 9 months old, and I think that they are my favorite so far. He just did what he wanted the whole time and the lady just kept taking pictures, I was amazed they turned out so well because she only took like 10 minutes to shoot them.

I love that he is sitting so nice, like he holds still all the time! haha
This is one of his new favorite things to do. I have no idea where he picked it up but he will stand up and squat down just for fun.

I am always a distraction when someone is trying to get him to do anything. I think that we have one of these from every picture session.

My blonde haired, blue eyed boy!

Halloween and Bath time!

So we thought that Coop would be a monkey for halloween but he totally hated the costume that we had so we moved on to plan b and went and got a different costume. Here is our Little Nemo, on his first Halloween. He really wanted the candy bars that Grandma and Grandpa were handing out, maybe next year.

This is how he ended his halloween. It was all just so much fun he couldn't stand it any more!
Ok these ones are totally in the wrong order but oh well. This is how his hair looks after a bath. It is super crazy, and this is after two hair cuts.

He really loves taking baths, I think that if we let him he would be in the bath tub all the time. He would splash around forever, just being blissfully happy.

This one is my favorite, we tried to do a mohawk but his hair is just too long to make it work. I love his smile with his two bottom teeth.

Oh the places you'll go!

I know I have been really bad about posting this year, we have been really busy though. Cooper has learned how to crawl and loves to go anywhere and everywhere. I swear that he knows where he isn't supposed to be and that is always where he is headed. He will turn to look back at you, smile and take off! He can also stand himself up while holding on to something and walk along the furniture. I figure we have a few more weeks of peace and then we will both loose about 20 pounds chasing him around the house. He loves to talk all the time, you can get Mamama, and Dadada but that is about it. He yells a lot and I really think that he just likes the sound of his own voice. He is super fun and is growing and changing every day. I can't believe he will be nine months old on Monday, it doesn't seem like it has been that long. Well I guess that is all for now and I will try to be better about staying current! I hope everyone is doing well!

So Coop finally got to wear his BSU Jersey, I don't know that he was thrilled but we sure were! He looks good in Orange and Blue!!!

OK maybe he is thrilled to be wearing Boise State Stuff!

I love my Happy Boy!

Just Hanging out with Grandma!

And Chillin' and the park with Grandpa!

Summer Randomness

We got Cooper's hair cut at about 6 1/2 months, they cut off about three inches and all of the brown. Now we have a very blonde boy!

Gee I just don't know who he looks like! haha

This was on his first camping trip, he did so good. He fell asleep on our drive through Tamarack.

Great Grandpa's make the perfect napping spot!

Just hanging out while camping

Swimming

I took Cooper swimming for the first time and he actually really liked it! I was worried that he wouldn't, because the water was colder than what he is used to being in but once he got in he had a good time.
