What Coop loves:
- Eating his vegetables - carrots and sweet potatoes are your favorite. You don't like peas..at all! You also love fruit...no suprise there. You make a huge mess...we learned to just go with a diaper and a bib to avoid ruining any more clothes.
- Laughing at Jack, pulling his ears, and poking him in the eye! He has definitely discovered his doggy and loves him very much. I think the feeling is mutual. Jack is just waiting for the day Cooper can run around with him. Jack is so sweet, too. He lets Coop mess with him and doesn't even bark or growl. He just lays there!
- Rolling, flipping, and scooting around. You are a very determined mind and will find a way to get to what you want (usually the remote or my cell phone is tops on your list!)
- Smiling! All the time - you're a HAPPY baby!
- Laughing at Jackson! Boy- he can turn a frown upside down.
- Looking at yourself in the mirror. (I wonder, do you know that's YOU?)
- Being outside. I hope this continues into the future, because we're an outside kinda family!
- Reaching up for Mommy when you are in your baby Einstein and want out. It really makes my heart MELT!
- Your baby Einstein has become your favorite toy. You will play with it for a good 30 minutes at a time. You have learned to turn completely around in it!
- Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Yes, I'm that mom that let's him watch TV. I'm not sure if he really knows what is going on and his attention span is about 10 minutes. But hey - it gives me time to make my breakfast and enjoy it!
- Going anywhere...you love all the attention you get and looking around at all the new things you see especially the signs at Krogers. Sometimes you have that "scared" look on your face...it's priceless.
- To stand and try to walk. Your legs are strong (so is your grip!). We might be using Jack's leash sooner than we though! ha ha!
- To pull my hair! (see grip comment) Ouch!
- To babble in the morning when you wake up. Andrew and I just lay in bed and laugh hysterically at you.
- To eat your feet!
- Grabbing at anything and anyone you can get your hands on!
5 month stats:
- Weight - approx. 14 lbs. (maybe more)
- Height- not sure, but he is SHORT! All his shorts are pants and his pants...well...we need to get them hemmed or something!
- Wears 3-6 month clothing
- Eats about every 3 hours...formula, cereal, fruit and vegetables.
- Sleeps good on most nights. Bedtime is between 8-9pm...wakes up around 7 or 8. Might wake up during the night, but nothing a pacy can't solve. Put it back in and right back to sleep! We are soon going to "teach" him how to put himself to sleep. When I get enough energy.
