A good time at the beach was had by all!

He absolutely loved playing in the sand. Too bad the sand loved him so much that we brought half the beach home with us!

Coop had a blast at the beach. He will truly grow up a "sun baby". He is already working on his Coppertone baby tan.

Coop's 1st Beach Trip!

He ran straight for the water, ladies and gentlemen! This child has NO FEAR! What will we do with him?

This kid LOVES water!

Cooper and I went to play in the fountains at Fishhawk (a neighborhood down the road from us) with some of the mom's and kids from our playgroup. Coop would stay in the water all day if I let him. He has so much fun getting wet I hate to be the bad guy and take him home. He has grown so much in a year that I'm not sure where the time has gone. Play, Coop, play!

COOPER IS WALKING!!!

It's official...Coop has been taking "baby steps" since about a week before his birthday but he is now giving us a run for our money! He is such a cutie when he walks. He looks like a drunk Irishmen, whether he is tired (or drunk :-)) or not! We are so excited that he has almost accomplished walking. Now, if he were only off to college.........

The final result...boy, was he a mess. It took 2 days to scrub away all the strawberry juice that stained his skin! Being a mom...it's the best, even on a day like this!

Here is a cute photo of the boy picking strawberries. We went to a place with our playgroup to pick strawberries and the boy had a blast! I think he ate more than we picked!
