Happy to be standing up

CJ's first word wasn't 'dada' or 'mama', but 'p,p,p' meaning "up, up up"
He is extra-happy when he is standing up

A future football (that's soccer!) player?

If Uncle Hugh's tutelage comes to fruition then maybe! Cooper has had several lessons from Uncle Hugh - when he came to visit in March and then when Cooper went to England in May and in July. (Cooper is no longer scared of the ball!!). Here is CJ wearing his Scotland football gear chasing his ball on YouTube

The world has changed....

....now that our little one is crawling!
He is so proud to stand of himself and is quite enjoying exploring around the various rooms of the house, however still insists on pulling himself up on the furniture and then attempting to stride off into the distance or to grab other items of furniture. Here is a YouTube video of him (although I missed the pulling up to stand part due to having to be free to catch him in case his intentions didn't work out). Click here

In the swing....

I took this photo to compare with the previously taken photos in the swing.... See the previous post
I guess he has grown!!

Cool toy bucket

Here is Cooper digging into his cool toy bucket that came from Uncle Jon & Aunt Andrea in Mississippi (among many other things) when he was first born. He is loving the toys now and even took a selection of them to England this month.
