Cooper's current favorite thing to do is blow raspberries, he thinks its the greatest thing since sliced bread. He does it all day long : ) He seems to have traded that with his teradactyl screech. Oh, and last week Cooper said his first word, at least the closest thing to a word so far. I was strolling around target (he is now sitting in the front of the cart like such a big boy) and all of a sudden he starts saying mamamamama, I was totally surprised, because nothing has really sounded this close to a word before. He is now also saying babababa, though he hasn't quite figured out the dadadada sound. Very exciting, he is inching closer to real language!
Another big milestone is that Cooper is now holding his own bottle (Nick gives him a bottle during the few hours I work during the week) and drinking it all by himself. One day Nick was getting ready to feed Cooper, and he set a full bottle down next to him and got up to go grab something, only to come back to find Cooper had picked it up and was drinking it down all on his own! He really is growing up so fast!
Nick and I celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary on Feb 5'th. Nick took the day off work, and we had Grandma Anderson come and babysit, so we could have a few hours to celebrate. We went to out to eat and to a movie, and we had a fun time reminiscing. We couldn't believe that last year at this time we were having our "big" ultrasound to find out we were having a boy, and now we have a 7 month old. Its hard to believe that we've been together almost 9 years, and all the experiences we've shared together! Time certainly does seem to fly by, but we are looking forward to many more years together!
