Looking out over his crib...strong!

I went into get Cooper after his 2nd nap of the day, yesterday, and I could see his head and his shoulders over the crib. hmmmm... I was like.....are you standing up? He must have pulled himself up. He was at the end of the crib, his hands were hanging on the edge of the crib, holding himself up and he was I guess "standing" on his knees. My strong little boy, pulled himself up to look for mommy to come get him. He wasn't crying, he was just looking around at his room.

He is getting so big!!!

These were last week. It's cute, when he wants something...he goes and gets it! mmm I love him!

He I think likes sitting up, when he falls over... it is now onto his arms and not his face. hahaha


It is so exciting to see how he is changing. I am so proud of him. We are on day #4 of the CIT method for naps. He has been doing that for going to sleep at night for a few weeks now. But during the day is so much harder for me... cause, I put him down and he immediately starts crying. But it normally he takes him about 20 minutes to fall asleep.

We went over to a friends house to do some scrapbooking and he went to sleep on his own in their pack n play. Although, I am pretty sure he woke up other babies, with his crying. But I was proud that he was able to go to sleep somewhere other than home in his crib. I was also proud of myself for not staring at a monitor while he went to sleep. I checked on him a few times. But I did get more scrapbooking done than I thought I would. :)


I like this picture because it is a very active picture. hahaha.. and all the facial expressions are priceless.

Moving around........

So since Tuesdays...Cooper just can'tstop rolling over. Back to Front to Back...

4 months old...

Well Cooper weighs 15lbs 4.3oz today and he is 25 3/4inches in length.

He has been inch wormer all over the place... he used to roll over a lot, but now he realizes he has arms and they are his blockers.

He really likes laying on his belly now and for longer periods of time, which also helps release all the GAS trapped in his belly (and entertains mommy).

We started having more frequent naked playing time and he LOVES that. He pees all over the place... hahaha

The doctor said we can start Cooper on Rice Cereal and I told Daddy we were going to start that maybe this afternoon... there was silence. I said we will start tonight (so he can feed him, too). The doctor said that a tablespoon of rice cereal can take about 20 bite... this should be fun.

He had 4 shots today, he was so tired...he was crying and then shots...yikes. He feel asleep once I got him back inside from the car and has been asleep since. He normally eats every 2-2 1/2 hours.. but we are going to try and phase into every 3hours now...

oh and he is also up... so I will continue this later...

Much love.

New Tricks...

4 Generation Picture


Cooper taught himself a few tricks while at Grandma Weyland's House. He can make his own bubbles and inch around by sticking his butt up in the air while on his belly (both of which are super cute)

I came home, folded some clothes. Tomorrow I will hopefully get a stroller walk in and put those clothes away.

Had a great time visiting but wished Stephen were with us. Hope he had fun and a relaxing weekend.

Soon Cooper and I will be visiting one of his grandmothers and greatgrandmother in Wisconsin. I hope he travels as well as he did over Christmas. We are excited.
Ok, well I gotta go get Cooper.
Sorry so short.
