6 Months old!

Cooper is 6 months old!

What a big boy he is becoming!

*Cooper is wearing a size 3 diaper.
*With the start of solids, we had to switch diapers to find something that would contain the poop better. I have always been a Pampers user but we have been trying out Huggies Little Movers and so far they are doing a better job!

From December 2011

*Cooper wears size 9 month or 12 month clothes. I am tired of buying a new wardrobe every 3 months so I am buying 12 month stuff now.

From December 2011

*Cooper weighs around 17 pounds. He is in the 50% for weight, height and head circumference.

From December 2011

*Coop eats two solid meals a day. He has rice cereal during the day at school, and a veggie/fruit and oatmeal for dinner.
*So far he has had rice cereal, oatmeal, sweet potatos, peas, carrots, squash, green beans, bananas and applesauce.

From December 2011

*Cooper still nurses every 2 hours or so.
*We are still battling the bedtime changes. He wakes about 45 minutes into the night most nights and then sleeps in 2-3 hour increments usually. I have been trying a lot of different things to change this behavior. Crying it out just hasn't worked on him so we are having to get creative.

From December 2011

*Cooper also stopped taking a paci in the past month. I have gotten out some different brands and even bought a new brand. I don't care what anyone else says, I am desperate for him to take one from time to time so I have continued to offer it. I am almost done pushing the issue but I have to give it a fair shot. I remember how sad I was when Devin no longer had one for comfort and I am way more sad about it this time! Plus, I really don't want a thumb sucker and he is already finding it!

From December 2011

*Cooper is rolling from his back to his front like crazy now and can still roll from his front to back when he wants to.
*He LOVES his feet!

From December 2011

*He also is very ticklish and LOVES to laught!
*Devin would be one of Cooper's favorite people in the world. I love to see his face light up anytime she pays any attention to him or even just enters the vicinity he is in. She is pretty darn crazy about him too!
*When we are at home (as opposed to school) he usually takes a 45 minutes-1 1/2 hour morning nap about 2 hours after he wakes up each morning. He is usually about ready for another nap after 2 hours of awake time but it isn't always easy to get him to settle into taking one so we often end up on the go for this one so he will sleep in motion. Not the best, but better than nothing.
*Cooper bounces like a fool in his jumperoo and gets mad often in the exercauser because he can't make it bounce.
*He also likes to try to bounce/jump while you hold him.
*When I compare the pictures of Devin at 6 months to Coop, I think they look so much alike!
