January..came and went

This past month has gone by faster then any other month and I wasnt good at documenting.We celebrated a few birthdays, had time with family visiting and fun times with friends. I also began to PROM our house and suprisngly I have enjoyed it. I am hoping to have our whole house done by march.

Cooper turned 10 months on his Daddys bday and we cant believe he is almost one years old.

• Our little guy is crawling everywhere, standing up-trying to reach for everything and for the past few weeks he is walking along the tables. He is defiently mobile and life has changed for us and probably will even more when he takes off walking!!!Yikes I am excited for that time but also sad cause my baby boy is growing up.
• He loves to follow Holland around the house, crawl down the hall to play in his own room with his toys and if we do leave the bathroom door open he loves that toilet paper holder. Isnt it funny how much kids would rather play with things that arent their toys for example Cooper loves the tupperware lid drawer, laundry bag, coasters, and Holland's bones.
• Cooper is one of the best nappers. Well okay sometimes he isnt the best but lately the past few weeks (besides the few days being sick) he totally lets you know that he is tired and wants to go to take a nap. All he needs is his lamby and he is good to go.
• LOVES FOOD...all food but recently started to become a bit picky (hopefully not picking that up from his dad) He is loving feeding himself, string cheese, puffins, anything he can pick up and put in his mouth. (It is difficult because he only really has two bottom teeth and few upper are coming in so we are still grinding food up for him)
• The noises he makes are precious but hilarious at the same time. Ryan and him have this grunting match back and forth and if it doesnt make you laugh your crazy.
• Dada..nana..and sometimes mama are the words he is blabbing besides the crazy other noises.
• Like I said before he adores Holland. If he is outside Cooper is standing up at the slider glass door either crying cause he wants to go out or making noises and banging on the door.
• Ryan is teaching him high five and he has done it a few times.
  

Ryan and I got to enjoy a night completely alone a few weekends ago. It was such a relaxing & special time to spend with each other with no distractions. Our dinner at Seastar was fantastic {thanks to my father in law} and staying in a hotel, going to bed early and sleeping in well we tried to {thanks to my mom}. Cooper did great with his grandma and we were happy to miss him. We know that time away is what will make us better parents as we will also be a better husband and wife as well. It is very important to have that time alone & we are so blessed that we were able to.
