I can't believe Cooper is 11 months old. Soon it'll be a year, and it's gone by way too fast (or not fast enough, in Scott's opinion.) Cooper's first year seems to have flown by much quicker than Bryce's first year did, and I feel like there's been no chance to savor his first moments like we did with Bryce: first smile, first laugh, first crawl and first tooth. On the other hand, he has a built-in source of amusement and entertainment, in the form of his big brother, so he doesn't seem to be missing the added attention.
I don't even have any recent photos of Cooper - he's been sick 2 out of the last 3 weeks, and not particularly photogenic. 3 weeks ago he had RSV and bronchiolitis, and the doctor put him on an inhaler to help temporarily with his breathing. He recovered for about a week, and seemed to be making up for lost time with his appetite! Then last weekend his nose and eyes started running like crazy and a high fever returned. Turns out he had ear infections in both ears, pink eye in 2 eyes, and obviously a bad virus. So the doctor put him on strong antibiotics and within 24H he was back to our happy, hungry baby boy.
So instead of new photos, I'm putting up 2 older videos that I never posted before - both of Cooper enjoying himself outside last fall. Enjoy!

Hopefully Sylvia had fun too!
Oh yeah, there were other people at the party too.
