Its so hard to believe that Cooper is nine months old already? I feel like I'm constantly saying that time with him just flies, but seriously I feel like it was just yesterday that we brought this tiny little person home and into our lives. Now he is turning into this little BOY that has such a funny little personality. He seems less and less like a baby every day. It won't be long now, and I will be chasing around a TODDLER!
Anyway, what is new with us? Cooper has his two bottom teeth in now, and he's working on a few on the top right now. They seem to be bugging him more than the others have. Hopefully they'll cut through soon, because its so sad to see him so uncomfortable. He still doesn't seem to be too terribly interested in crawling, he loves to stand up and play, but crawling still eludes him. I'm still just fine with that, I keep telling him to take all the time he needs to go mobile : ) I really am trying to appreciate how easy life still is without him crawling all over the house and getting into EVERYTHING!
We have been introducing lots of finger foods in the last few weeks. So far he loves most fruits, cheerios, cheese, rice, chicken, potatoes, teething biscuits, and gerber puffs. He's not crazy about the veggies as finger foods yet, though he still loves them pureed. He learned to feed himself the other day, and has been so proud to put the food in his mouth by himself, handfuls of it in fact : ) We have his nine month doc appt. on monday morning, so it will be interesting to see how much he's grown the last few months. He's already wearing lots of size 12month stuff, so he's definitely a big and healthy boy!
Aside from all that, we are counting down the days to our trip to Maui in April, we are so looking forward to some sun and fun. Should be an interesting trip with our little monkey in tow, but he is such a good baby, we're actually not too concerned, just hope it isn't too crazy with the time difference. Okay, I think that is all for now, I'll try to post some current pictures later.
