And he's off.....

As of yesterday, Cooper has officially started to crawl!

Boy did we have a hard time uploading this video, thanks to my wonderful husband he figured it out, I never had a doubt!

Anyway, yesterday afternoon when I got home from work I came home to Tom and Cooper playing on the floor and Tom's like "watch" Cooper was crawling, he was after a post card, he loves paper. And he kept doing it, it wasn't a fluke or anything, he really moved his arms and legs. He gets lazy sometimes and just plops to what he's grabbing but he'll take a few steps.

Now my goal for this weekend is get a baby gate and get things child-proofed. I have all the things to lock the cabinets and drawers but I'm after a baby gate that does not have anything we have to step over. I can see myself or someone going down the steps, opening the gate and tripping, so I'm after a certain one. We don't have any baby stores here other than Target, Walmart and Kmart, oh and ShopKo. I'm looking online as well so hopefully I'll find one. Yeah I know I should have done this a while ago but thought, heck, if he's not mobile what the use, we'll that time has come! And its only going to get worse, but I'm loving every minute of it.

Tonight while we were cooking supper Cooper was in the living room where his toys were and all he wanted was to be by us, so I brought him in near the kitchen and he crawled over to where he wanted to be, by us! I gave him a few things out of the cabinet and he was as content as can be and played there for quite a while, I even got my vacuuming done. I seen Cooper go for something on the floor and thought "oh great, this means I have to vacuum more" but it's all good and oh so worth it.

So I can officially say Cooper started crawling on Oct.24th 2012 - Lexi's Birthday!
