Well, it's finally happened- Cooper's walking! Okay, not all the time, but more than half, and in longer and longer stints. Chris had a funny conversation with some parents in our music class. There was another new walker there- stumbling around, doing the drunken sailor walk. The parents were talking about how that phase goes so fast- one minute they're stumbling, and in the next, they're off and running. Chris's comment: "Well, not so much in our house- we'll probably be in that phase for months."
We were talking about it later, and realizing that as long as we can keep our patience in check, there's a gift to that- we get to really watch and appreciate all of those phases that so quickly disappear out of our lives. Here's a bit of video of the "toddler". (Who, of course, becomes a "preschooler" in a month and a half!)

I'm so happy you have a blog. It was great to spend a bit of time with you and Cooper when we were home. He is such a sweet boy! Can I add you as a link on my blog???
I think this is a great way to share. I hope this inspires me. Cooper is so adorable. You are right....cherish each moment as they are all so very precious and in reality so very short in time. Thank you for including us. We love you guys!
I am SO HAPPY you have a blog now. Cooper is amazing! And you and Chris are just delights to know and ask questions of.
You are right to say that the phases are longer, some more enjoyable than others to be of greater length, but we also enjoy watching development take a slower pace but still happen.
Way to go Cooper! Life is going to get way more interesting for you and Mom and Dad now that you are walking. Before you know it they will be trying to catch you. Have lots of fun exploring. We all miss you and your family.
