11 Months old!

HOLY MOLY!!!  Cooper is 11 months old today!

Here is a picture of him with Harry Elephonte:

But of course getting Coop to hold still isn't so easy anymore:

 

Also - Cooper ended his 11 month Birthday by pulling up from sitting to standing TWICE on his own against a footstool!!!  (Mom cried - she admits it.)

Must record Every. First.

It is Cooper's first bandaid!

It seems we caught our tiny baby toe nail on the inside of a sock and it tore, resulting in an owwie that needed some coverage and ointment.

Good thing it was the biggest "little piggy" so we could get a bandaid on it!

Don't worry though - nothing major, and Nana was there to double up on healing snuggles while mommy applied the tootsie first aid.

Happy Valentine's Day!

How to tell Cooper is teething

Poor Cooper has been sicky for over a week - first a cold that brought on an ear infection, and now a funky head and chest virus that has him feeling super crummy.  Add to that the drainage from his healing ears, and the 4 top teeth the doctor pointed out that seem to be in a race to all come suddenly breaking through the top of his little gums, and he is one cranky dude.
A sure sign that teething is happening in Cooper's world is when fussiness is instantly calmed by the vibrating grape teether.
I know it isn't nice beause the poor kid is in pain, but it is kind of super cute when he bites down and you can just kind of see his whole body go "ahhhhhhhh" and the gentle buzzing noise kicks in.
Poor kid.

Cooper Playing

Snow Day!!
Coop is still nursing a little cold, so we are snuggled inside, but he is hard at play:
