If It's Quiet...

...he must be up to something! Greg and I were having our nightly reading time with Reagan when we noticed Cooper was being too quiet. This is how we found him ~ being mischievous!

You caught me!

If you're going to take pictures, I'm still going to playThis is so much fun!

Containing Cooper

We don't know if it can be done! We've had to block off every doorway and opening. He's not happy about it and I'm sure it won't be long before he figures out how to get over this gate.

He's not sure what this is Is it something to chew on?

What have you done to me?I can move it just a little bit

I moved it! This works great as a teether

Big Trouble

Cooper is in to EVERYTHING these days. If it is within reach, he's going to get a hold of it and try to figure out how it works.

He's taking apart my plants

Acting all innocent!"I'm not doing anything"Now, he's trying to get into the fireplace. We've tried to block him best we can

He may have a future in furniture moving

Reagan told me today that I was "her best friend ever" That makes my heart so big!

Caught

Caught in the act!! Cooper's nickname is Dozer, as in Bulldozer. It doesn't matter what is in his way, he'll go over it to get what he wants! Here are a few pictures of him being all boy.

He loves the dishwasher and any chance he gets, he tries to climb in it. Usually I'm quicker than he is, but not today!

How could you get mad at that sweet face?He's discovered the cabinet with all the Tupperware in it. One of his new favorite places to play. Another favorite place to play...the refrigerator. Greg and I are really in for it when he starts walking!

Chewing Gum

It was bound to happen. Chewing gum in the hair. Reagan has this new fascination with chewing gum, except that she likes to make balls out of it and play with it rather than chew it. So, we ended up with chewing gum in the hair.

She asked me if we needed to cut her hair off

She doesn't seem too worried about the mess she's caused
Didn't keep her from eating her dinner!
Thanks to the Food Network and the Food Detectives Show, I learned that cooking oil is the best at getting gum out of hair.
See the gum on the towel?

It's Baaaack!!

The infamous gate is back at the bottom of the stairs. All doors have to be shut and anything you don't want chewed on must be put up...Cooper is on the move!!

Fun Times

Cooper is becoming so much more adventurous since learning to crawl...

He loves to chew on the cord to the paper shredder

He found the mixer from Reagan's kitchen (which Reagan was not too happy about)Such a sweet boy Hmmm, wonder what's in here He needed to stand up to have a better look Won't be long before he's walking ~ then what will I do?

Boys Will Be Boys

It finally happened at school today...Cooper's teacher, Ms. Sharon, informed me when I came to pick him up, that Cooper has started....BITING! My sweet, sweet boy is the bully at school. To be fair (every good mother makes excuses for her child) he is the only one sitting up unassisted, the only one crawling, and the only one with teeth in his class. I'd say he's pretty advanced for his age!!! Watch out world, Cooper's growing up!

Who wouldn't want to be bitten by this sweet little boy?
