The Burgett's: Sorry for slacking.

(Here is a video of Coop pushing his new toy. During the last few seconds you can hear Bethany in the background trying to talk to Cooper, and that is why he turns around with his hand out.)

We have been quite busy the past couple of weeks so I have not been able to keep up this blog. I will try and do better about it!

Cooper has been keeping us pretty busy. The boy never ever stops. He just goes and goes until he passes out! Haha He wears himself out big time. After we do bath time, bottle, book, prayer, and start to rock him, he tries to dive in his crib. He wants us just to lay him in there with his lovey bunny and cover him up and get out! I am amazed every night with this new stage. It was only a couple of months ago that I was out on the couch crying while he cried in his room after we would put him to bed. He sure is growing so fast!

He has started eating more of our food for dinner. He loves mashed potatoes and rice. He also enjoys pancakes and turkey sausage. Not sure about all the rules of feeding 9 1/2 month olds that stuff, but you try telling him he can't have it! Haha He has quite the temper.

Coop loves to push his new walker toy around the house. He really likes when someone holds on to it with him. He does the sweet little fake "ha ha ha" as you walk with him. We are really ready for him to start talking because he has started this terrible screeching sound when he is trying to communicate. We have started really trying to teach him sign language, but it is a hard commitment to make. We have had to learn a little bit so we can teach him. He can sign more, but only if he is in the mood to.

The past 2 weekends we have had cookouts with friends and family and Coop has been great at both. At the one tonight with our close friends, he put on a show for sure. He loves attention but only after he has felt out the people and place. He is on his own time and you can not rush him. Once he is aware of his surroundings and has figured out the people he does whatever he can to make sure someone is always watching. He is such a cute little booger, yes I am biased. =)

I'm going to leave you all with some recent pics of our adventures these past few weeks!
