Rub-a-dub-dub, Cooper sures loves the tub!

Cooper got his wig busted!

We FINALLY broke down & took Cooper to get his 1st haircut this past weekend. After taking his 10 month picture, we realized how shaggy he was getting. His hair in the back was growing into a serious mullet!

I was so worried that Cooper would cry through his first haircut, but he was such a good boy. He had just woken up from a nap and was still in his quiet mode. The worse part was that he kept moving his head back & forth to check everything out. I felt bad for the poor girl who was doing the cutting! Not quite sure how she managed to cut his hair, but I guess that is why she gets paid the big bucks! ;)

All smiles with his BIG boy haircut now!

I think he might have inherited Dutch's forehead. What do you think!?! Haha!

Poor Doggie!

Cooper received this doggie as a gift from his Nana before he was born. Milo developed a fond liking for the doggie right away. He kept stealing it off a shelf in the nursery. Therefore, we eventually just let him have it to play with in hopes it would keep him away from all of Cooper's other stuffed animals. Poor doggie! His hair is all matted down and stringy from Milo carrying it around everywhere in his mouth. It's definitely his favorite toy!

Cooper recently decided that the doggie is his favorite toy too. I think he loves it just because he always sees Milo with it. It's what truly got Cooper to crawl because he loves to go after it and steal it from Milo. He'll crawl from one room to the next to get it. He loves to play tug of war with it. And a little game of keep away too! ;)

Cooper is Curious like a Cat!

Cooper's favorite new hobby is...

Cooper has become a magnet to door stops. He finds them in every room and plays with them until he rips them off! Too funny!!

*** Snow Day ***

During our last snow storm, Cooper was so fascinated with watching the snow fall outside the windows....

Since Cooper was healthy this time around and the temps warmed up a bit (to a balmy 33 degrees), we decided to take him outside for the first time to play in the snow.

Cooper was not very thrilled about having to bundle up.

He looked like the kid from A Christmas Story all bundled up. He could barely move his arms!!

While Cooper loved to use his sled inside, he didn't seem that thrilled with it outside. He did not crack one smile the entire time we pulled him around. I think the puffy coat was too much for him! Haha!

3/4 of the way there!

It's crazy to think that 3/4 of a year has passed us by so quickly! In a few short months, Cooper will be turning one! Our little boy is growing up so fast! And before he turns 10 months old, I figured I better share his 9 month old pictures....

Cooper was just getting over being sick the day we took him for his professional 9-month pictures so I was worried if we'd see his cute smile. He did a great job considering and I think we got some good ones...

Cooper loves chuck T's & skinny jeans (even though they barely fit over his bubble butt)! ;)

We wanted to get a picture of Cooper crawling, but he kept flopping down on his belly down. Haha! How things have changed in a few short weeks!!

I was hoping the photographer would be able to capture Cooper's mouth full of teeth, but she barely got the bottom 2. He has 7 total now!

Sound Bites from Cooper

In addition to saying "dada", "mama" and "uh oh", Cooper has been making lots of fun sounds lately. I thought I'd share a few of them!

We taught Cooper how to stick out his lips so he could make fun sounds like this...

He figured this out on his own a few weeks ago and now he loves to smack his lips...

Dutch always makes sound effects when he plays with Cooper's trucks. I think it's cute now that Cooper tries to do it when playing with them...
