Christmas time is here

These are some of Cooper's Christmas and first birthday pictures.  I just thought I would share.

Oh and I forgot about our family photo

First hair cut

Josh was so excited when I set up the appointment for Cooper to have his first hair cut.  We were both tired of everyone thinking that Cooper was a girl because he had long-curly hair.  One of my bestest friends had told me about a place in Ashley Park (Newnan) called Zany's.  She said that the inside of the place looked so neat and that it would be a great place to take Cooper for his first hair cut.  So I called and made the appointment. 
So many other mom's had told me that getting the first hair cut is hard... On the mom!  Everyone was talking about how they cryed... blah blah...  I kept telling everyone that I couldn't wait to get all that hair cut off and I wouldn't cry or be upset at all.  Boy was I wrong!  I thought I would be just fine and I was until....  She actually started cutting his hair and when I could see all the hair coming off...  I started crying like a baby.  While I'm crying, Cooper is doing just great!  Now he looks like a cute little business man....

Busy life with an 8 month old

This past month has been a busy one. Not only are we trying to get used to the idea of Josh's new job but we also have a little boy with a temper! Cooper is as sweet as he can be but boy when he isn't happy everyone knows. On top of that he is teething. He is 8 1/2 months old and still no teeth. I'm hoping that some will break through soon and give me and him a break. The crying every afternoon is getting old! On a good note he is crawling everywhere now. And he loves to pull up using your hands. He talks all the time... lots of dada and mama but not associating it with Daddy and Mommy yet.

Another bit of good news is that Dr. Carter took him off the heart monitor about 2 weeks ago. So far he has done really well without it and seems to be sleeping better. Here are a few pictures for his 8 month pics...

Cooper's First Independence Day

The Phillips' family had a busy but fun filled weekend for the 4th. We sent time with MeMaw and Poppa in Woodstock on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. MeMaw bought a little pool for Coop to play in while we were there and he loved it. It took sometime for him to get used to the water not being as warm as bath water, but once he was used to it - he absolutly loved it. On Sunday we went to a big pool with Danielle, Ryan, Adrienne, Josh and Brody. Cooper had a blast playing with his buddy Brody and being in the pool. He loved splashing, kicking and relaxing in the float that his Gigi gave him!! Then on Sunday we went to see Mrs. Susan, Mrs. Katie and little Emma. Cooper that is was the greatest thing watching Emma swim like a little fish.

He also has some other first this weekend. He started clapping when you say "yeaaaaa" and started scooting around the floor to get to his toys instead of rolling.

My little boy is growing up fast!
