Cooper is 9 months old

He loves to play with me in the basement.

Sometimes I don't like when he is down there because he gets my stuff...

but he gets so excited when mom brings him down

and

he will play for a really long time so mom likes to put him down there with me.

He crawls now...and not just backwards anymore.

He crawls everywhere.

I have to keep my toys picked up because he likes to get them.

He eats big people food.

He eats anything mom gives him.

But he still won't take a bottle.

Mom keeps trying to get him to take a sippy cup...

but he likes to drink out of cups with no lids.

He has 4 teeth...and sometimes he tries to bite mom...

but just on her arm, no where else.

He's big enough to fit in the bike trailer.

I love that because now we can go on bike rides all together.

He pulls himself up on EVERYTHING!

and walks along anything he can to get to what he wants.

He has started to climb the stairs.

Mom says we have to be super careful now so he doesn't fall and hurt himself.

Like when he was playing in the basement with me and mom told me to watch him while she did laundry and I found him 3 steps up...

don't worry, I got him down!

Cooper can do lots of things now.

I think I'll even like him coming with us on all our summer fun!
