First Shoes

They are cool.  Really cool.  Cooper's first pair of shoes.  

However, Cooper doesn't share our opinion...

Athlete In Training

Our sweet friend and babysitter is a track coach.  She often takes Cooper to practice.  The girls just LOVE Cooper and try to include him in their routine.  Cooper giggled the entire way!

11 Months

Cooper

11 Months  

I promise I took this photo on August 6, 2013.  I thought about it all day and finally remembered as he finished his bath.  (He is always happy after a bath!).  The long, carefree summer days are over, as we find our place in a fall schedule.  Thankfully we have a great family who loves Cooper as much as we do and takes care of him during the school day.  Cooper LOVES to visit them!  Cooper's fall schedule is easy to get used to.  My schedule, however, IS NOT!  I have worked very hard this year to create the perfect ZEN-like classroom with color, pizzaz, and organization!  It was a challenge to find the time to get it just right.  SO.... sorry for the delay in posting this sweet boy's 11-month photo!!  He is simply delightful.  We love watching him move, think, shake his head "no", drop food on the floor for the dogs, crawl as fast as we can walk, stand for a few seconds, eat big boy food, and kick off his fancy NIKE shoes (because he doesn't like wearing them!)  Cooper is the perfect addition to our family and makes all of us better individuals!

We Have A WALKER!

I can't believe it!  Not only is Cooper walking, but we were ALL there to witness his FIRST STEPS!!  We were all sitting in the living room talking about our evening plans and Cooper took off!  He walked to Daddy AND WE CHEERED!  I think we scared him a little, but soon he realized that all of our cheering was a good thing!
