Cooper has done it. He's a walker! On August 26, 2012, just one day before his 13 month birthday, he took his first steps. It was beautiful! We had just finished Sunday dinner with Nanny, Papa and Aunt Ashley when we were all sitting on the couch relaxing. Cooper came over to the living room area, stood up and took three REAL steps before falling down on his bottom. This, as you'd imagine, was the opening of the flood gates. From that day forward, he got better and better. His skills and balance literally improved by the hour. As of today, Cooper walks, dances, bounces up and down, bends down and picks up objects without falling, throws balls (his favorite thing to do), and climbs the stairs independently. He's growing up right before our eyes! It's truly miraculous! Oh, and what a love he is! We can't get enough of his cute face. Here he is...in action at Chuck E Cheese.
He's a great eater too. We always thought Cade was an amazing eater, but Cooper puts baby Cade to shame. Cooper eats everything. And I mean EVERYTHING. Here are a few examples; chicken, salmon, roast beef, raspberries, oranges, baby yogurt, greek yogurt, cottage cheese, cheese sticks, veggie booty, squash, peas, green beans, zucchini, grapes, avocados, and the list goes on and on. This is what I walked into on one September afternoon in our kitchen.
I rest my case.
Cooper also enjoys Music Together classes every Tuesday morning with Mommy. This was an extra special class because both big brothers were able to join him. Yay for Fall Break! A good time was had by all, as Cade and Carter remembered all of the songs from their years in Music Together classes.
