Months 8-12

I am abandoning my remaining monthly lessons.  I have gotten bored with them and I sure others have too.  But here's a wrap up of major changes.

Nothing special happened in month 8.  In month 9 he started crawling... oh, how life was about to change!  The biggest thing in month 10 was finding out Cooper was allergic to penicillin (read more about that here and here).  In month 11 we work on switching to sippy cups, which took some time.  We had to find a cup he liked and get him use to it.  Right before he turned 1, started taking a few steps but not full walking yet.

Motherhood has been a wonderful journey.  I never understood the saying "they grow up so fast" like I do now.  Hopefully I can look back on these lessons when we have another child.  I know things will not be easy with the next child, but I am sure we will feel more confident as parents.
