So, on friday Cooper had his 9 month check up and it went great.
He is only in the 5th percentile for weight, weighing in at a whopping 17 pounds 8 ounces. He is 28 1/2 inches tall and in the 51st percentile for height. Then there is his big head. He's in the 95th percentile for his head circumference. Dr. Davis said he is great. He has no worries at this point and time. Except that maybe we will be seeing him more for all of Cooper's "stunts" that he has been trying lately. While in the exam room, Cooper almost never sat still, trying to climb on everything. Dr Davis even said "I'm exhausted just watching him". So are we.
The sky's the limit with him.
Cooper has been babbling for a while now, but we haven't really heard him talk other than the occasional "hi" to Gizmo. That's right, he talks to the dog and not to us. However, this weekend we finally have heard him say "dada". Apparently he says it at Teresa's house for her, but just hadn't for us until yesterday. Yesterday, Randy was on the floor with him and Gizmo and Cooper was grabbing the dog's tail. So, I said don't pull his tail and he looks at me, and both Randy and I swear he said "I'm not". We know it had to be a fluke, but it sure sounded that way.
As I'm sitting her trying to type this today, he is all over the place again. Following Lea all around the room, trying to do the things that she is doing. Just like a little brother should. She thinks it's cute now, but give it time and she will be just like Jaxon and be complaining about him following her and getting in to her stuff.
Just another normal household here and loving it.

This has been a big month!
In the past month a lot has happened.
Cooper has another two teeth and is still using them on everything. He has this fascination with shoes and feet. He likes to use them as his personal teething rings. You always need to "stay on your toes" or he may bite them. Of course he just smiles at you when he does.
He is practically running along the furniture and it won't be long until he is running around the furniture. He loves to run around the house behind one of his walking toys.
This past weekend was quite a weekend for our family. On September 17th, our niece, Victoria, married her soul mate Mooch (yes Mooch, aka Matthew) and both Lea and Jaxon were lucky enough to be a part of their wedding. They looked so grown up in their dress and tux. And they did a great job. While they were posing for pictures, Cooper was doing his own showing off. He decided that he didn't want to be left out and took his first unassisted step. He has since taken several single steps, but nothing more than one step at a time. We give it just a matter of time before he realizes that he can walk all on his own.
Cooper's uncle Andy also got married on the 17th out in Colorado. It sounds like it was a great party. Congrats to him!
Cooper has his 9 month check up tomorrow and we get to see if he has added any lead in his pants. It's a couple of weeks late, but due to everything that has been going on, it has been the only time we have been able to get it scheduled. Can't wait to see what he weighs.
We have been busy running around to Jaxon's soccer and football games and practices. He and his teams have been doing great. You can see the improvement they are making every game. Jaxon has done extremely well. One weekend he had a hat trick in soccer and two touchdowns in his football game.
Until tomorrow...we will update everyone on how Cooper did at his appointment.
