7th month

Cooper LOVES to laugh!!



As you can see he is now in his Big Boy highchair and eating a variety of foods. So far he has liked everything, but we have definitely had some great sneezes with a mouth full of carrots!!

Halloween

Cooper's first pumpkin. Great carving job Dada!!

Our little monkey



It is exhausting being so cute!

Pumpkin Patch

We went to a cute little pumpkin patch out on a farm. Cooper was unimpressed, and was far more interested in people watching. Terry and I had fun picking out a pumpkin and Cooper even came home with his very own. ( :

OU vs. Texas

Better luck next year Sooners!!!!

4th Month

We started cereal this month and Cooper was not a big fan. I ended up mixing it with his formula and getting him used to the taste. A few weeks later, he was wanting to feed himself. Success!!

The Gathering was held in Scottsdale, AZ this year at the Phoenician Hotel. We had a great time hanging out with friends and family!

This was also our first plane trip with Cooper and he did really well. He slept most of the way and we even did a diaper/onesie change in under a minute - right there in our seats!

We're back!!

Between the never ending daycare cold, first ear infection, and computer crashing, we have unfortunately neglected the blog!! So, knowing that you mainly check our page to see our handsome little man, I will post 4 months worth of pics to bring you up to date. ENJOY!!!!

3 months

Cooper is a little over 3 months now and we have had many new growing experiences!! I have started back to work and although it was a little heartbreaking for me the first few days, he is adjusting really well and is even talking, moving and interacting more than he already was. I still love coming to get him in the afternoon and seeing him break out in a huge grin and start kicking his feet. Nothing else compares for now!! ( : Cooper is growing at a rapid rate right before our eyes. He now weighs 12 pounds and can do so many more things. He has also been sleeping through the night for almost 2 months now! He goes to bed at 9pm and wakes up at 7am. Since I have been back at work, I have to wake him up at 6am. This weekend, he was so exhausted that he slept until 8:30am!!! And he still takes his naps. We are so lucky!



He can hold his own bottle

Cooper has outgrown his 0-3 onesies!!


Striking a pose with his t-shirt (aka outgrown onesie)

Pool Time

Cooper had his first experience in the pool this weekend and loved it!! His swimsuit trunks were too big, but the top, hat and lots of sunscreen did the job.

We LOVE our Crabby Patty!!

Rest and Relaxation

This past month Cooper has really started to enjoy his swing and loves to just lay back and relax. He has also discovered a new blankie that is small enough for him to hold. He gets so excited when we give it to him in the swing! He gets a big grin and starts kicking his feet. It is just too cute!!!

Jumperoo!!

I could not wait until Cooper was big enough to get into his Rainforest Jumperoo. The time has come, and although his feet don't quite touch the ground, he has figured out that by kicking his legs he can make it move and the music play. It is also a great spot to watch Dora, the WonderPets and of course anything Mommy and Daddy are watching! ( :

Friends and Family

We have had a lot of visitors this month to come and see Cooper. It has been so much fun to show off our little boy!!

Tia and Cooper

Cooper loves his Coco!!

Aunt Katie

Dear Jesus

Already Cooper is such a religious little boy. We wonder what he is praying for! Maybe to sleep through the night on a continuous basis....or is that just Mommy's prayer? ( :

Hanging out with Daddy

Terry waters the grass about 4 times a day to make sure we continue to have the best yard on the block! It truly is beautiful. Cooper is in training.

Cooper also loves watching baseball with his Daddy!

BUMBO

I couldn't wait till he was big enough to sit in his BUMBO. We have loved using it while we are in the kitchen. More BUMBO fun to come....

Learning the techniques from the Master Chef

Sitting up like a big boy!!

Our new favorite toy

This past week Cooper has become fascinated with the blinking star on his Baby Einstein playmat. He can lay there for an hour watching it, hitting the the other toys that hang down from the bars, and cooing and laughing. We have gotten such a kick out of it!!!

To poop or not to poop...

Because my milk supply has been a little low, we have been supplimenting a few ounces of formula with each feeding. We recently switched formulas because Cooper was going a few days without a bowel movement. This caused some serious discomfort for him. Needless to say, the new formula did the trick!
