dress him up to sing

I just thought this was a nice picture of Cooper. The one right before this he was doing a cute version of the Dr. Evil-finger-at-the-mouth thing, but it's a little out of focus.
So you get to look at this one!

This one I'm not sure about. This was either an attempt to get him to smile, or he's singing, or he's just showing off how healthy his tongue looks.

cooper climbs!

OK. So awhile back Cooper taught himself how to climb up things. Sofas. Chairs. Pretty much anything low enough to kick a leg up onto.
So, in my infinite wisdom, I decided I would let him try and climb the stairs. This is the video of the second time he climbed the stairs. (I let him have a test run before I took any video, so I could concentrate on keeping him safe.)
As you can see, he did really good. So good in fact that after this video I let him do it more. Right up until he stopped about halfway up the second flight of stairs, stood up on a step and tried to actually step up the stairs instead of crawl-climbing. He almost fell. We haven't been on the stairs since!

cooper and pops making noise together

Here is some video of Cooper and Pops making fun noises at each other the last time Pops was in town.

since it's been awhile...

here's a video of Cooper forcefully sharing his imaginary drink!
(sorry about the low light - it was near bedtime...)

sharing his 'drink'

Cooper has learned how to share his drink, no matter how imaginary it is...
