I wasn’t sure if he’d like it or even be able to roll a ball all the way down the lane, but…well…watch and see for yourself:

He had a blast and didn’t seem to have any problem whipping that 6lb ball down the lane! It took me a while to warm up and he even had a higher score until the 8th frame ;)

Make sure to check YouTube for more bowling videos. I’ve also added some pictures to the gallery.

His first complete word was “ball” and he can now say around 15-20 words.

His first sign was “where” and then “more” when he was around 11 months old.

Signing has been such a great way for Cooper to communicate with us and it’s amazing how quickly he picks up new signs.

He took his first real step about a week ago, but it’s off to the races now =) We better start preparing for all the bumps and bruises that this new skill will bring.

We had a small party for him last weekend with some family and a few friends. He’s standing up on his own and is getting ready to walk any day…

As with any of his other newfound skills, he claps at anything and everything and for any reason.

When we sing to him, play him a song, or play one of his musical toys, he likes to bounce and bob around.
