Cooper is 9 months!!

I can't believe my baby Coop is already 9 months old! Time is moving WAY too fast! Coop is also moving way too fast....he has turned into a marathon crawler and is cruising around and between the furniture. He also loves all the little nooks and crannies in our house. He loves to climb onto the bottom shelf of my end table, I am always finding him under the girls beds, and he loves to play in the tree behind the couch! He is also getting very adventurous....I didn't really understand why everyone told me that boys are so different than girls....until now!! He is into everything! It's so funny to watch the wheelS spinning in his little mind, you can almost see the trouble! A couple of weeks ago, the girls had been playing in the basement and had come upstairs and left the gate open about 6 inches. From where I was sitting it looked like it was closed and about 10 seconds after I had checked it, I heard Coop falling. It was one of the worst sounds I have every heard. When I got to him he seemed pretty OK and had just bumped his lip but as the night went on he started throwing up. At first, I thought it was spit up but after we had put him to bed I smelled myself and I totally smelled like throw up. The next day he was acting OK, but when he woke up from his nap his bed was covered in throw up. I called the Dr and we ended up having to take him in for a head CT. Everything was good, but they said he had a mild concussion! I keep telling Mark that we are going to throw him a HUGE 2nd birthday when he turns 2 to celebrate the fact he is still alive!Besides getting into things, Coops favorite thing to do is eat. He is getting teeth 6, 7 ,and 8 right now and is eating almost everything we eat. He is a bottomless pit! His favorite things are fruit puffs, black beans and tomatoes. My favorite thing about Coop getting bigger is seeing his sweet little personality. He is so cuddly and follows me around the house saying, "Ma Ma, Ma Ma, Ma Ma." It's so sweet! :) He loves his Daddy so much and gets so excited when he comes home! He also loves to play with the girls, but he has learned that hair pulling is his best defense...lol! He also loves to "dance" and play "pat-a-cake"!

Coopie I love ya...Happy Birthday!

P.S. Between chasing ants, eating leaves, and trying to crawl off the porch....these pictures were as good as it gets!!
