Swinging

Ellie isn’t the only one that has been having fun at the beach.  Cooper has found this swing and enjoys swinging very much.  He will watch Ellie run around or climb while swinging or having a small snack.

Childhood Hat

Cooper was wearing my childhood hat from Disneyland until he spotted me and the camera.

Cooper on the Loose

While Cooper was very happy to be out of his pram, he wasn’t very interested in sitting still.  This was the only picture of him here on the loose at the beach.  Right after this picture; he tasted some grass and then crawled as fast as he could to get away from me! It’s a good thing he isn’t walking yet.

Cat Door

While the cat was nowhere to be found, Cooper took the opportunity to use his door for Lego removal.

Sitting Still?

There is no chance Cooper will sit still for anything let alone me taking photos.  I was lucky enough to get these shots because Ellie was about 10 feet away on a giant tree swing and Cooper was trying to get her attention.  Already he wants to do everything his big sister does.

Standing

Just last weekend Cooper started to stand up by himself.  We watched him for a few days as he tried very hard to stand but always fell on his bottom.  Then on Thursday night, Ellie said she saw him standing.  On Friday I finally watched him stand up and Victoria, who just missed the Friday night standing, watched him stand on Saturday morning.  He is now standing all the time.  He will clap or make Cooper noises if he is standing for what he considers a long time.  Ellie is now holding his hands and trying to make him walk everywhere.
