Cooper 8 months

Cooper continues to be a model citizen. He is crawling everywhere and he is starting to work his way up the stairs. he pulls up and stands on everything. no matter what it is (the drawers make me so crazy because he pulls them out, pulls up and then they slide in). He thinks his brother is hysterical. He has 4 teeth and more on the way. Sylvia continues to be amazed at how well he is teething. virtually no complaining but lots of poop and rash. (that's the same as Cash) He really doesn't have much drool though and i remember that Cash was always covered in slobber. He eats everything you put in front of him. breakfast he eats yogurt, cheerios and a bottle. during the day he has 2 big bottles and 2 big jars of baby food and snacks (animal crackers, mandarin oranges, fruit of any kind, anything really) and then at dinner he usually has a jar of stage 3 baby food and something else like a yogurt or fruit based baby food. he snacks on whatever Cash doesn't finish or whatever is on our plates that we can give him. at bedtime he has another bottle. He's 20lbs by my bathroom scale - probably more. He sleeps like a champ. he was sleeping through the night but that changed during vacation and he hasn't gotten back into his routine yet since i've been gone but we can get him back to a full night's sleep in no time. He wears 12 month clothes and they fit perfectly so in another month or two they might be getting snug. He talks and babbles all the time. mamama and dadaada and growls like a monster.
he is so sweet and smiley and perfect. laid back and chill. he is such an observer but also likes to get in there and play and be involved in what's going on. he's a pleasure.
