We are happy to announce that we will be moving to our new house on April 24. A home where Cooper can run around in the yard...well for now he can crawl around and eat all the leaves he wants!! It's been a whirlwind the past few weeks with finding the perfect home then getting nervous about finding a renter to finding a renter but her dragging her feet to finding another renter who is ready to move in in 2 weeks. Needless to say we are in major pack mode and while it's not the easiest thing to do with a very mobile (almost) 11month old THANK GOODNESS (over and over and over again) that Cooper is content with sitting in his playpen with all of his toys (shoes) to play with or just standing up pacing in circles around the playpen. I will admit I've tried to entertain him here and there with a little Sesame Street. And his Daddy and I are constantly making faces at him or doing whatever we can to make him laugh. I think we'd get a lot more done if we weren't distracted by Cooper and his incredible charm!
We are very excited to have visitors to our new home and hope to have you visit soon (the sooner you visit, the better chance you'll have to help us paint or unpack :) )

10 months and finally starting a blog
Cooper is 10 months old and we've just now started a blog about his day to day doings. I think we've realized just how much he's changing and that it's flying by. He starts something new each day, but will learn something new within a few days. We are constantly laughing at Cooper and love every minute of being with him.
Some new things:
1. He's laughing like crazy. Steve and I might be in the car and will be laughing at something and we hear a little chuckle in the background. It makes us laugh harder....which gets him laughing. It's a cycle...
2. Cruising around like crazy. A friend recently told me to move everything up high. Boy, was she right! He gets up on his tippy toes to reach things he finds interesting.
3. Some of his favorite toys are the remote, the phone, a basket of snacks we keep in the kitchen. He enjoys his toys, but certainly is attracted to the "grownup" things.
4. Crawling. While Coop is great at cruising around, he favors crawling. He was doing this "army man" crawl, but is doing the "normal" crawl now.
5. Not new, but he is a smiler! He charms everyone he meets. We hardly go anywhere that someone doesn't comment on how sweet he is (and of course those eyes....)
6. Peekaboo. He learned this this past weekend. We have the most fun playing it with him. It's incredible to watch his little mind working on playing it and then the smile he gives us when we say-no yell- peekaboo and laugh with him.
Life doesn't get any better than this. We are not quite ready for the walking, but can't wait to see those chubby little legs carry him to his destination and then the smiles he'll give us when it happens.
