Cooper 7 months

Cooper can go from laying down to sitting up. its pretty fascinating to watch him do it. he is also not crawling yet but he definitely gets from point a to point b effectively by rolling and stretching and wiggling.

He eats like a linebacker. we feed him 3 meals of baby food a day, he snacks on cheerios and puffs and has 2-3 six ounce bottles. he loves the nasty, mesh sucker thing filled up with bananas, watermelon, cantaloupe, etc. he'll put anything in his mouth.

He's as happy as a baby can be. laughs constantly. laughs more when Cash is around. Elizabeth's blog the other day about Wiley and Archer laughing after W hit A - i am sure that will happen at our house too. Cash fell down the other day and Cooper erupted into giggles, then Cash did it over and over until the two were hysterical.

Cooper sleeps through the night for the most part. he goes down at 7:30pm and wakes at 5:30am but i usually leave him in his crib until 6 or 6:30. he will just coo and talk and roll around and practice crawling in that hour. he doesn't need anything during that time and its a great way for me to wake up, listening to him sing his song. occasionally he will wake up one time - the other night i think his teeth were bothering him. the thing about not nursing anymore is that night time waking really sucks because i don't have a good way to comfort him and put him back to sleep unless i want to make a bottle.

Cooper likes his dummy but isn't attached to it like Cash was (is). Cooper's top teeth are coming in and we can just see the tippy tops of them starting to come through.

bottom line: we like him a lot.
