2nd tooth already!

Well our little weeman continues to keep up the growing. he popped he 2nd bottom tooth on sunday. we looked around 3 oclock and it wasn't there and at 4 it was! what a growing man! he got to meet his 2nd cousin ainsley this past week she is 21 months and loved her "baby coopter"! we had a lot of fun with her in town.

we also took cooper to his 3rd twins game - we went w/ my aunt dana, uncle mark, cousins sierra and slate. the smoked the rangers! cooper loved it. slept for a while, ate, looked around wide eyed and then slept again. 3rd twins game in 5 months of age. amazing!

Coop is also rolling everywhere! he still hasn't really figured out the sitting up piece of things so we'll keep practicing that. one of his favorite new things is cuddling in bed in the mornings with mommy and papa. we know we know bad habit but it is so fun! today he let me feed him at 7:30 and then we went back to sleep until 10:15!!! no complaints on my behalf!!!

Hope you are enjoying the sunny days!

Our man coop is 5 months already!

this is cooper with cousins slate and sierra he was so excited they came back from kenya to spend the summer with him!






coop getting ready for bath time
that is our man!
it is amazing to believe but cooper is already 5 months! He has had quite the adventures over the last months - many trips up north to see family and friends, flew to florida, trips to the parks, walks and lots of love and attention. really he is the best boy ever! we are so blessed to have him in our lives - i hardly remember what life was like before him. he sleeps through the night ( most of the time! ) eats great and loves to play. we have been doing rice cereal with him a few times a week. Last night the 2oz of milk kevin mixed with the cereal wasn't enough so i had to quick make more for him. even after that he wanted more! what a piggie!!!

he is rolling everywhere these days. and is a 'mover and a shaker'. when we took him in for his 4 months visit he was 15 lbs 5oz (60%) and 25 3/4 inches (80%) i am sure he is starting to push 16 1/2 lbs by now! he loves to play in his exersaucer and jump up chair. he is also a fan of the bumbo chair - though his all time favorite would still have to be his bouncy/vibrating chair. we wonder what we'll do when he out grows it. our biggest news to share he is he cut his first tooth today - you can't see much of it but trust me it is there! we are so proud! poor little man is drooling on everything!

cooper continues to do great with daycare. he has lots of friends there and really seems to enjoy himself. we are adjusting as well to being away - though starting this week i am going to have most wednesday off so i am excited for mommy and coopie time! coop gets lots of times with papa too.

we'll be back to share more soon - thanks for checking in!
