Play Dates, Eating and Nine Month Doctor Stats

Nine Month Stats: Weight - 20 lbs 11 oz, Length - 28 inches
50% for weight, 86% for height. Hopefully he takes after Aunt Brooke and is long and lean!

Playing with Aunt Brit and working on piano lessons...

Below are some pictures of Cooper and Berkley playing over Labor Day. They had a great time together, and are so cute! They shared pretty well! She was quite the inspiration for Cooper to crawl and roll so he could follow her.


Cooper is quite the ham for the camera now, as evidenced below. He eats a lot of table food and eats when we eat. He still has babyfood also, but we're working into eating from the table... easier and cheaper (until he turns 16 and I have to shop at Sam's to keep food stocked).



This may be one of my favorite pictures! He is so happy and was very hyper that day!

Fun with grass and the little red wagon!

Cooper got a new red wagon, which he loves. Going for rides is quite the adventure! It has no seatbelts so he just hangs on for dear life. :-) And he pulls up on the sides, which is why our crib is now dropped as low as possible! He rolls everywhere... oh, he could crawl if he wanted, but we think he'll go from rolling straight to walking. Oh well! He's following after mommy!

Cooper loves to sit in the grass... he's only tried to eat it once. He's more into pulling it. So if anyone is in need of lawnmowing services, Cooper is your man!

Finally Catching Up, and Summer is Over!

The Huff's let us borrow this little car, which Cooper LOVES. His max time in it so far is two hours without so much as a complaint. It makes a great companion on walks or just planting in the garden.

A new toy (to Cooper) from the Montgomerey's. He can already hit homeruns!


I got Brad Colts tickets for his birthday. The new stadium is amazing. The picture directly above is the view when the glass is open, facing the skyline. The picture above that is from the top looking down at the field. Our seats were only 27 rows up, but we had to see the whole view.

Starting to feed himself! If he had more than two teeth, he'd eat just about anything!
At the State Fair... 8 hours and no fussing! He loved it.
Riding the John Deere with Grandma Grable's help.
Woops! Repeat picture! :-)
In his ducky bathtub. Courtney Dickey would fill it with toys and he's be happy for hours.

New big boy shoes! First pair of Nike's!


Mom and I took Cameron, Sydney, and Cooper to the zoo in August. They had a great time! All three of them were just perfect all day long, and the weather was fantastic. Cooper was more entertained by the kids than the animals, most of the time,

Mini-Vacation

Here are some pictures from our trip to Michigan City and the Indiana Dunes. It was beautiful and Cooper was an angel the entire trip.
