HE MAY JUST TAKE A STEP!
Last Friday night we grilled out over at our friends, Tonya and Donnie's house for dinner. While we were there Mr. Jim and Ms. Tonya tried to get Cooper to walk. He has been cruisin' around for a while but just won't turn loose and walk on his own. At first, Cooper wanted no part of walking but Ms. Kimberly thought fast and gave Ms. Tonya a cookie for her to entice Cooper with. It worked! Mr. Jim stood behind Cooper and got him to take three steps by himself to Ms. Tonya who was holding the chocolate chip cookie for him to get! Needless to say everyone screamed and clapped for him. He of course ate that up, along with his cookie. Oh the taste of victory! While he still hasn't taken off running around the house by himself, we know it's just a matter of time! Until then, we try to motivate him as much as possible by offering cookies and other snacks-what can I say, my baby loves to eat!! Here are some pictures of his big accomplishment!

Cooper is thinking long and hard about letting go of Mr. Jim's hand
