Arizona trip

We had such a great February and starting of March and Cooper just continues to grow every day.  He is crawling everywhere and so fast, he seems to get from one end of the house to the other in the blink of an eye; so much for the days of laying our sweet baby down on his play mat and being so excited when he just rolled over!  Cooper is also starting to stand for a few seconds without holding on to anything, he thinks it is pretty cool and we are seeing a walking boy in our very near future; watch our world.

We ended our February with a quick visit from daddy's friend Dane who was here for a convention.  Cooper thought he was pretty cool; especially when he got to play with his awesome phone.




 
After our quick weekend with Dane, we packed up and took Cooper on his first flight to AZ to visit our friends the Stilgenbauer's and meet their sweet little new addition Henry.  Cooper did so great on the flight; despite having a cold, and even got his wings from the Flight Attendants.  We had so much fun in sunny Arizona relaxing outside, playing at the park and enjoying the company of our awesome friends.
 
The boys!!! I see many manly camping trips in the future with these four.


Cooper and dad loved sharing popsicles after dinner together. 
 
 
Henry is so sweet and snugly, always cuddling with his mom or dad. 
 
 

Cooper loved spending time in Heidi's playroom, there were so many fun things to explore.  His favorite was her Vet Clinic.


By far our favorite thing to do on our trip was playing at the park after dinner.  Cooper loved swinging on the swings and getting pushes from Heidi.

Vrrom vroom!! 
 






Fun times in the hammock.  Cooper thought Heidi was just the funniest girl around.




Naked breakfast!!

At the airport, ready to head home.

2014 happenings

We cannot believe our big boy is already 9 months old; where has the time gone?  Cooper is getting so big and changing every day.  He is crawling everywhere, pulling himself up on anything in sight (the couch, playhouse, chairs, high chair, ottoman, you name it).  In other big news, this big boy popped his first tooth last Friday and said "dada" for the first time; daddy is pretty pleased with himself!  We are continuing our Little Gym classes every week and just started a music class about a month ago, so both sides of Cooper's brain gets a good workout.

The past month has been pretty fun with visits from Pops, Grammy and daddy's good friend Nik.

Silly pops!



Watch out, he is on the move crawling everywhere these days.

Sometimes this boy even escapes before he even has clothes on.
 

Pulling himself up on everything and anything.

Daddy's friend Nik came for a visit and Cooper sure did like to play with him.  They played with Coop's cars, trucks and flew around the house.  We can't wait for him to come back.



 
 
All that blogging was exhausting..good thing I had my Starbucks today. 
 
Bye and Happy Valentine's day from this heartbreaker.
