7 months old

My sweet baby boy is already 7 months old April 16th! Its hard to believe, he's past the 6 month mark. I'm happy and excited to see what comes next but I'm sad to leave behind that tiny baby he once was.
Cooper has truly grown to be such a wonderful, happy, fun to be around little baby. He is always smiling, brightening people's days. I haven't come across one person who didn't say to me "wow he's just so happy) :)

He is doing so many new things these days. Just in the past month he has really started to move around more. I wouldn't say crawl really. More like he gets on his knees and hands and rocks forward like he's going to speed crawl and then he never actually moves. He also gets on his hands and pushes off of his knees onto his feet and he tries to move that way. He's using his hands well while in the crawling position. He can reach for objects without falling over or anything sit there on one hand and two knee's. I truly think he will master the crawl very soon.
Cooper rolls to get where he wants to be. He plays so well, he usually enjoys to bang one toy into another. That most definitely interests him the most :)
He tried to pull up onto our coffee table last night and the hubs and I just sat there in shock not wanting to distract him so we could see if he could do it. He would almost get pulled to standing and he would lean back and fall. But he could pull to his knees only using the table to hold him up. I can't believe that in the coming months he will be learning to crawl well, to pull up, to cruise, to walk. Oh my goodness the things he will learn.
Cooper loves to feel our faces. He is always wanting to touch and he is quite the cuddler. Not afraid to love on us when he wants to take a break from playing. He's just slightly spoiled :) He loves to be with his mommy and daddy.
Julian thought he heard him say "good" today. HAHA, I cracked up. Good huh? That's an interesting first word. I didn't hear it so I can't say weather this happened or not. But I did hear him say mama a couple weeks ago and I am almost positive he was truly saying it.

Cooper is our absolute life and everything to us! He is the most amazing blessing from God and I am truly prayerful and thankful to the lord each day for giving us such an amazing beautiful life in our own lives.

Cooper,
Mommy and daddy love you more than I knew love was. You are our heart and soul and we have the most amazing time just watching you and seeing the new and old things you do. We never get bored of you. You surprise us daily with all your new tricks. Your big round blue eyes are the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in my life. The smile you get when I walk in the room, or when you turn and see daddy's face is gorgeous. You love us and we love you. You are our Coopy!
Happy 7 months sweet baby!

Love mommy


God,
I can't thank you enough for this gift of life. For my own, yes. But for blessing my life with the life of my son. He is truly my everything. You knew all along that I was destined to be a mom. When I worried about being infertile, when I cried because I had a miscarriage, or failed attempts. You always knew that you had something special in store for us. September 16th 2009 you brought that gift that you worked so hard on to us. And forever my life has changed. Thank you God. You amaze me! Please keep my sweet family and friends safe from harm, alive and well. Thank you again for the gifts and support you always bring to us.

Amen.

These are just a few pics of Cooper I took the past few evenings when we were just playing at home.
He is super tired in a few of them. Check out those ready sleepy eyes. But he's like the energizer bunny, he goes and goes and goes until he just can't go any longer.
















Ha this is his "Raz" face. He does that a lot!

I am also attaching some pictures of a get together at a friend of mines house this past week. We had so much fun.
