Quick crawling video

He's on the go

This crawling stuff is easy! Its even more fun outside in the grass.

"What Mom? I'm not supposed to be pulling myself up on stuff?"

Big stuff

So, roughly the first week of April Cooper officially began to crawl. I think he snuck it in once prior; but that was when some consistancy showed up. Now all of a sudden this last week, he's figured out how to crawl to stuff and is up on his knees by it. I was okay with that; then on Saturday he crawled (rather fast) over to the box of diapers and pulled himself up and was standing up holding on to the box thinking he was the biggest stuff ever. I was just adjusting to the fact that he was going to be slightly mobile; and am so not ready for this. Miss Paige was no where near this early with crawling or pulling herself up. She was a content observer. Cooper is apparently not and wants to be where the action is. Boys :) He hasn't been the happiest camper the last few days as his teeth are still troubling him--lots of chewing and drool but still no signs of those chompers yet.

Crawling

Its been a busy few days and the biggest news is Cooper is crawling. He's getting a bit faster and going a bit farther each day; but so far he's resembling the tortoise and not the hare. I am okay with that. He did manage to crawl up to my legs and I swear he was trying to climb up my legs while I was doing dishes tonight. He has been up on his knees a few times with his hands on the edge of the toy basket; thinking he's pretty big stuff. I have some video and hope to post it soon; as I don't have any pictures of him crawling. He did discover the walker at Gramma Shelly's this weekend and thought that was pretty great. It was even better once big sister figured out it was fun to push him around in it. He also decided to really like the sippy cup we found in the cupboard and really thinks its fun to sip water out of it when he's in his chair. Too bad his teeth hurt so bad he's decided to not each any food though.

We decided to enjoy the spring day after work and we all played outside. Here's our cowdog loving her favorite cowboy.

Paige's 5th birthday

Today is Paige's 5th birthday. She is not feeling the greatest; so we are hanging out at home today waiting for the tummy ache and fever to go away. However, we had her birthday party on Sunday. Despite an almost birthday girl with an attitude; it was a good day. We had a 'Tangled' theme party. Paige managed to get a few Tangled presents--including the movie which she had been desperately hoping for. Mom & Dad got her a new bike which was test ridden around the house and works pretty well.

Happy Birthday to my peanut--thank you for a wonderful five years and we love you.
