I love this picture of Cooper!!!


Isn't he getting so big!!!

Cooper making his silly face.

So sweet!!!

"I'm ready to go Mom." Cooper has started climbing and this is where I found him before we left Ashley's.

I went to check on the kids and Morgan had all of them in the play pen including Lacy (the dog).

Monday night we headed to my sisters house to visit them and let Ashley take Cooper's 9 month pictures. Scott had to go to Houston for the week and I have not seen the Phillips family in a while. Ashley took off on Tuesday and us and the Johns family went swimming. Tuesday night we went and took some pictures of the kids. It was so hard to get all three of them together. They are all too active!!! I am going to have to get some more wall space to hang all of these pictures. I always seem to have a favorite I want to blow up. Thanks Ashley. Wednesday we hung out with the Johns family and let the kids play. They all love playing together. I finally got home on Thursday around 11:00. Cooper slept all but 30 min. of the 3 hour trip.

We just got back from an eight day vacation. We headed out last Saturday and went to NB and spent a few days with Scott's brother at his new house. It really made me want to get new furniture after seeing all his new stuff. His house really looked nice. While we were there we got to see GiGi and aunt Ruth for a hamburger cookout. After a short visit there we picked up his parents travel trailer and head to Kerville for 4 days. We met my parents there and the John's family. We had a blast just visiting, cooking out, swimming, going to Sea World, and shopping around town. The kids loved being around each other. Cooper followed Kennedy around the whole time and Morgan just thinks Cooper is it. She would just hug and kiss on him and tell him she loved him. Needless to say when they left it was sad and I cried. That is really the first time they have been around each other for multiple days and really enjoyed each other's company. After few days camping out we headed back and spent a few days with Scott's parents. The just got back from California. It was nice to relax there and visit with them and see all of their pictures from their trip.

Cooper won't stay in the water long at the pool and he ended up in the flower bed eating dirt!

Morgan was playing Sea World and Scott was Shamu. She was the trainer and was riding on his back. It was quite funny. Too bad we didn't have the video camera!

I told you Morgan loves Cooper. I looked over at her and she was just smiling at him. This wasn't even a pose!

The kids on a real alligator that was stuffed.

A day at Sea World

These were two tired babies after being at Sea World but none of the kids even fussed or cried the whole time we were there. I think they liked it.

Today we went to the doctor for Cooper's nine month check-up.
Weight: 19lbs 10oz (42%)
Length: 29in. (82%) He took a growth spurt and grew 2 1/2 in. in 3 months.

Wow! How time flies. Cooper is 9 months old and growing up so fast. He is really busy and into everything. He weights about 20 pounds. We go for his check up on Wednesday so we will get all his stats then. He is:
* Pulling up on everything
* Loves to climb
* Cruising
* Goes from stomach to sitting
* Says Mama and Daddy
* Plays ball
* Gives 5
* Eating some finger foods


These are our friends down the street that we went to watch fireworks with. Cooper and Hunter got glow in the dark necklaces and Hunter put his on his parents heads.

Cooper not so happy here. It was waaay past his bedtime.

Saturday morning we went to a birthday party and had a lot of fun. Cooper loves big kids and had to join in on the fun. Saturday night we went to another party with some friends from church and has another great time.

Cooper and Dylan the birthday boy!

Cooper is all boy! He was crawling everywhere in the grass and playing in the rocks, and in and out of the swimming pool. Needless to say he was very dirty when it was time to leave.

Before we could go Scott had to hose him off.

He always makes this face at people. It is so funny! He squints his eyes and scrunches his nose.

Ok Ashley you have challenge on your hands. I put Cooper out in the flower bed to just take a few 9 month pictures and boy was it hard. He wanted to play in the dirt, eat the grass, crawl off, and would not look up for any pictures. These are the best I could get.
