My crawling is really coming along! I am going pretty fast now and even the kitchen floor barely slows me down. I am also pulling to stand more and experimenting with letting go. Pretty soon Mommy is going to have to start blocking me into the living room too!

I did something pretty funny today. Mommy decided to give me cereal for lunch. Well, I am not like Quinn and I do not really like the way plain cereal tastes. Of course, I will still eat it cause I will eat pretty much anything. So while Mommy was feeding me the yucky cereal I happened to glance down at my bib and noticed a cracker left over in the pocket part! When Mommy went to get another spoonful I reached down and grabbed the cracker and shoved it in my mouth... Sorry Mom, no room for yucky cereal!!!

Tonight we played with the little piano that is in my room. I really liked it. Mommy says I might have real talent! I played with both hands and moved my fingers over the keys just like Mommy was! Daddy, you have got to teach me that Tears for Fears song that you always play on the xylophone! Mommy says she loves that song!

Today was pretty fun. This morning I was crawling all over while Mommy got Quinn ready to go to speech and I fell. I cut my cheek right under my eye, but it didn't hurt that much and I was having fun, so I didn't even really cry! I like the new look, I think it makes me look tough :)

I wore my new jeans to speech and they are a little too big. It wasn't a problem till we got home and I tried crawling...they started falling off! This is the point that Mommy realized she didn't bring any of my comfy pants with us to grandma's house! So she put me in Quinn's dorky moose pants that totally didn't go with my shirt. They actually fit pretty good even though they are a size 2T! I am getting so big!

Cooper is becoming much more adventurous with his crawling/pulling to stand. Check out the cut under his eye...it was bound to happen but he handled it well.

Cooper loves that he can get up on his knees and play now.

Look, no hands!

This is a really sad news story about a little boy from my birth board. He was born right around the same time as me and he is really sick. I hope he gets some new bone marrow soon, maybe someone who reads my blog is a match? Mommy said they should just take him home in a bubble..but I guess they don't do that anymore :(

I had a fun day. It was Daddy's birthday today, but that doesn't mean he gets to skip out on diaper duty! He only had to change a few, Mommy and Grandma Donna did the rest. Mommy said she should have named me Pooper instead of Cooper...thanks Mom! I am probably pooping so much cause of all the new foods I am eating. I eat anything anyone gives me, although I wasn't thrilled with the brocolli I got at dinner tonight. Mommy is writing my blog so late cause I just wouldn't go to sleep. I just laid in bed with her and talked and talked. I sure talk a lot for someone with no vocabulary! Just you wait until I learn some words!

I am having a major gross motor skills growth spurt!! I pulled up to standing this morning! Mommy was putting her slippers on and I crawled over and pulled up on the futon. Then the rest of the day I tried to pull up on everything I could get my hands on. Sitting, crawling, pulling to stand...next thing you know I will be walking! Mommy, are you scared? You should be!!!!

Cooper was in a great mood today!

He has been in a much better mood since he started crawling so well!!!

I love living at Grandma Donna's house! It is so much fun here!

It is even more fun now that I am officially crawling! That is right, I am crawling really good now. I can crawl from the living room all the way into the kitchen, and that is pretty far at Grandma Donna's house. Today I also crawled over to the stairs and tried to climb them, but Mommy said to slow down! I guess I am not quite ready for that yet.

We all went out to dinner tonight and it was really fun! I ate cheese curls and french fries and they were yummy. Quinn even shared his ice cream with me at dessert and that was the best stuff I ever tasted! Even better than chocolate mousse!!!

We came home and played and then I fell asleep in Grandma Donna's arms...I love it here!

Today when I woke up I couldn't even open my eye it was so gunky! So Mommy called the doctor and they said we had to go in. I almost got out of it cause our car was plowed in under a bunch of frozen snow....but Grandma Jan was home and her car wasn't! She came and got us and we all went to the doctor. It wasn't bad at all, I don't know why Quinn got so upset last time. Turns out that both my ears are infected!!! No wonder I have been so cranky! So now I am on the same yummy medicine as Quinn and also some eye ointment (so my eye will get better in time for Christine's party).

Other big news....me! I weigh 20 pounds!!! That is only 5 less than Quinn, I am really catching up!

Since I haven't been feeling good Mommy has been giving me some Children's Tylenol. It is cherry flavored and really yummy, so I am real good at taking it. I open my mouth right up when I see the dropper coming. Tonight when Mommy put my eye ointment on I got confused and thought I was getting yummy medicine so I smiled and opened my mouth really wide. I was pretty darn dissapointed when Mommy stuck it in my eye instead of my mouth!

Cooper loves to chew on strings, his favorite is on Mommy's sweatshirt, but he will settle for pull toys.

"This doggie doesn't mind when I pull its tail!"

Poor Cooper! He isn't feeling well, he couldn't even finish his cheese curls. There is one clutched in his right hand anyway, he wasn't quite ready to let it go.

Look who's got gunky eyes now!

I was twice as cranky today as I normally am, and that is mighty cranky!!! I think I am getting a cold, that is probably why I was in such a bad mood.

At least I went down for my nap easy. I was just sitting on the sofa next to Mommy playing with the remote, next thing you know, I was sound asleep with the remote in my mouth! Mommy managed to somehow get the remote away from me and put me in my crib without waking me up. But when I got up from my nap I was not happy!

Poor Mommy, I really put her through the ringer today!

Quinn's teacher came over today! I didn't take my eyes off her the whole time she was here, she is such a fun lady to learn from.

Mommy says I am officially crawling, but I am still not very good at it. I wonder if I will ever go as fast as Quinn, he is an expert crawler! I am also sitting great. I can reach over pretty far and get a toy now without falling over. I love sitting and playing with toys, especially my animal train toys. Quinn always tries to take toys away from me when I am still playing with them so now when I see him coming I pull them all real close to me and hold on tight. Pretty smart, huh?

I didn't get a good nap today. Stuff kept happening and I kept getting woken up. We went to Grandma Jan's house twice. It was really fun over there! I especially liked playing with the blocks, they were yummy. I also managed to wiggle my way over to her books and push them in. She hates when Quinn does that and I am such a little devil I had to try it too! I didn't get nearly as good a reaction as Quinn did!

Since I missed my nap I was so tired that I couldn't even manage to eat my cheese curls! Now that is tired!!! So Mommy gave them to Quinn and put me down to sleep. I will be getting her back for giving away my curls tommorow morning at 4 AM when I wake up starving!

My name is Cooper, and I am a cheese-curl-aholic. Seriously! I love cheese curls so much I can't get enough of them! Mommy puts them on my tray and I just grab them and shove them right in my mouth. I love food! I can't wait until I have some teeth so I can eat foods that don't dissove too.

Today we had to take Quinn to the doctor. While Mommy was getting everything ready all I wanted was for her to hold me. So I screamed and screamed, I screamed so hard I threw up...that was very unpleasent:( When we got to the doctors I was really good though, Quinn was the one who was screaming there! I hope I don't get sick too!!!

Cooper really likes to be able to sit up and play like a big boy.

Sweet Angel...

Little Devil!

We went to speech with Quinn today and I was an excellent little boy! I behaved really well, I got everyone there thinking I was a perfect angel, but Mommy told them the truth. I am getting so close to crawling and I even go a little forwards sometimes now. It should be any day now.

We went to Grandma Jan's house today, but she wasn't there. Me and Mommy raided her snack stash and I got to eat my first Dorito, yum-o! Thanks Grandma! I got to play on the floor while Quinn ate lunch and I was really interested in the part of the floor where it goes from the rug in the dining room to the floor in the kitchen. I kept pivoting to check it out and smacking the hard floor and then rubbing the carpet. I had a great time.

Big News!!! I am officially a sitter! Today Mommy sat me down in front of my toy and I didn't fall over at all. I barely even resisted getting into the sitting position! That means I officially know how to sit. Not only that, but I can get out of sitting all alone and pretty gracefully for a newbie....and I have been trying to get into sitting on my own all day. I am such an overacheiver :) I must have had what Mommy calls a "gross motor spurt" because I am getting very close to crawling too. Watch out Quinn, I am catching up!!!

I slept really well last night cause I am back in my own room. I love having my own room and Mommy has decided that I don't have to share with Quinn at the new house. She is also getting pretty good at painting so I bet my new room is gonna be an awesome color!

I got to spend a bunch of time today just me and Grandma Donna! It was so much fun! We played and had a snack together. I worked on independent sitting, I think I am almost there! The good news is my room is done being painted so I can move back in there tommorow. I don't like having to sleep in different rooms/cribs all the time. Plus, when Mommy and Daddy come in the room it always wakes me up, I am a very light sleeper.

Tommorow we are going to hang out with Grandma Jan all day! I can't wait, it is always so exciting.
