Kooper is 9 Months Old

Another month of changes for Mr. Kooper! He is developing this funny little personality. He has his daddy's easy going attitude with a slight bit of my temper. He is still taking 2 good naps a day, but is also still getting up at least 2x and sometimes still 3x during the night.  He is eating 3 meals a day and also snacks on his puffs throughout the day. He LOVES sissy and typically has to be anywhere she is. They will just sit and talk to each other or just laugh at each other.  One thing we have tried to do at least every other evening is take the kids on a bike ride. It is one thing that calms Kooper down when he is super fussy at night and it gives me a chance to get out and not listen to him cry. A few funny things we have learned about him....He HATES the sweeper, is obsessed with the bathtub (tries to climp in it), will scream if he hears Tenlee even slightly cry, LOVES our dog Gema.

Sitting up
Starting pulling himself up on his feet

Really starting to talk

LOVES his blanket-has to have it when he is ready for bed and is just tired in general
Loves to rub his head on ANYTHING soft
Loves any kind of cord and remote

When he is upset he will climb under the kitchen table and sit there and just cry
Got his 4th tooth in-His top right....had a VERY hard time getting this one in
Also got his top left tooth in and another top right tooth is starting to show
He has developed a temper this month...when he is mad or trying to get your attention he will just scream a high pitched squeal
He is still a mommy's boy and is loving sissy more and more!!

He LOVES his "B" (blanket)

The look he gives me when he sees me after his naps or really anytime I enter the room....MELTS MY HEART!!!

He started this month by learning to hold himself up...

...And then learned to pull himself up on his knees....

 ...And then ended the month by pulling himself all the way up to his feet!!!

 Such a big boy sitting up on his own...finally!

Helping the boys load the trailer for State Fair

 He was working on a tooth this day and was SOOO fussy...as soon as 

we gave him an ear of corn to chew on he was a happy camper!

Helping Papa show some people her calf

Tenlee and Matthew dropping spiders on random people walking through the barn. She was so excited 

when she scared a women and the husband came over and gave her a $1 for doing it. 

She was soo excited about staying in a hotel...and Kooper had a blast when we got there as well. He wasn't able to crawl the whole day so he had fun crawling around and pulling himself up to everything!
