Cooper - 9 Months

We were out by the pool tonight and I got some super cute shots of Cooper making funny faces. As you can see from these pictures he really getting such a little personality. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

The Beach...

Or as close as we will probably get this year. I finally took Drew to get his 4 year pictures made today. Yes, I know I am a month late, but he is still 4! I have lots of great pictures but I thought the ones of them on the beach would be great for this blog. You see, I love the beach! Andy on the other hand does not. Maybe when he looks at this and sees how cute our boys would be at the beach he will want to take us there. I mean, really... could they get any cuter?

I really love that they are holding hands.

I never knew how hard it would be to get 2 boys to look at the camera at the same time.

See Daddy, I love the beach!

Me too Daddy... please!

I just had to show off my sweet boys. I know we will get to the beach one of these summers, but it is probably best to wait until Cooper can walk. I am pretty sure he would get tired of sitting in sand, and Drew would need someone to play with anyway.

The Pool is Now Open

Last night for the first time this season, we went swimming in our pool. This was the first time for Cooper Man to go swimming, so I grabbed the camera to commemorate the occasion. He wasn't too sure about it, but being his normal laid back self, he was fine. That is until Drew started splashing around. He wasn't splashing Cooper, but Cooper did get splashed. He didn't like that at all and got very upset (yes... Cooper does get upset from time to time). He calmed down after a few minutes, and I was able to get a few shots.

All my boys together in the pool.

Cooper is going to spend a lot of time in this floaty! I hope he likes it.

Andy and Drew playing around! I think Drew was suppose to be a rocket ship.

Drew being a monster... he was roaring at me. One of his favorite things to do.

Even though the pool was a little on the cool side, it was great to break it in for the first time this summer. I know before too long it will be so hot we almost don't want to go outside. But for now, we will take was we get, and try to enjoy our boys as much as possible.

How Can You Resist...

this face... I know I already posted about Cooper today, but seriously, how could I not post these pictures?

The Young Jedi

Drew got a Light Sabre (or Light Saver, to him) from Santa for Christmas. He loves it, and often calls himself a Jedi while playing with it. He is usually trying to kill Darth Vader, since he is Luke Skywalker. This particular morning I think he was taking it very seriously.

He has some pretty sweet Jedi moves.

This is his mean Jedi face

After the Jedi training, he wanted to have his Jedi hair. Any time I give him a faux hawk, he calls it his Jedi hair. This happened to be the last day of school so I let him go to school with his hair like this. He loved telling all of his teachers that this was his Jedi hair. They thought it was pretty cute!

He really enjoys making silly faces while I am trying to take pictures.

Finally one with his sweet face.

He looks like such a big boy in this picture! I can't get over how quickly the time is going by. It feels like this school year just started, and now it is over. It was such a great year for him at school, he loves it so much. I can't wait to see how much he learns next year.

Sitting Up... Sort of.

I have told you all before how my youngest son, likes to take is own sweet time in doing things. So of course, sitting up has been no different.  This week he has finally started to sit on his own... a little bit.  He can sit for a few seconds at a time, especially if he is distracted by a cool toy.  But he pretty quickly wants to lay back down.  

It still counts with his back against the couch right?  

And some pillows beside him, those are really just for safety!  

See, I told you he needed the pillows!

Anyway, he is getting there.  He still has absolutely no desire to get onto his hands and knees, but this week, we are just going to work on his sitting up skills!  He is 8 months old after all!  

Brothers

I decided that my blog had been a little Drew heavy lately, with all the birthday stuff.  So, I decided just to post a sweet picture of both of them.  

Cooper isn't doing much that is new, so I don't really have much of an update on him.  He is still super sweet, unbelievably mellow, and crazy about his big brother.  He just really isn't too interested in becoming mobile!  Which, now that I think about it, is probably a blessing!  Thanks God!  I am not sure if I am ready for 2 mobile boys in the house!
