*Cooper weighs almost 16 pounds.
*He is wearing size 3-6 and 6 months, but with colder weather here, I have been putting him in a lot of 6-9 and 9 month clothes and they seem to fit as well.
*He is wearing a size 3 diaper.
*He still exclusively eats breastmilk, although that will be changing very soon!
*Cooper has never been a very good napper. He usually takes about two 45 minute naps a day and goes to bed between 7:30 and 8 and sleeps until I wake him around 7:15.
*Cooper went on his first road trip last weekend to Austin to visit his Tia Awol. He woke up the morning we left with a terrible chest cold and those sleeping habits in the preceeding line have changed drastically. We are trying to get him back on track!
*Cooper has discovered his feet this month! Most mornings when I go in his room, he is just waking up, and he is often chewing those feet! The feet of his PJ's are always soaked from his slobbober! It sure does make diaper changes harder too!

*Cooper has got quite a grip these days. If you give him a toy and he drops it, if it is within his reach and sight, he will look for it and grab it.
*Cooper LOVES to shake his rattle up and down vigorously!
*While doing tummy time, Cooper has rolled from his front to his back a few times now. He still hasn't roller from his back to his front, but he sure is close to it!

*This past month we put him in the exercauser much more often and he really enjoys playing in it now.
*This past weekend we got out the jumperoo and now that is his favorite toy! He no longer has any care for the exercauser!

*Devin and Cooper interact so much more these days. They love to play together and she can make him laugh just by being herself!
*Coop has a ticklish spot right in the center of his chest that I can make him laugh when I take my nose and rub there. I can do it with my finger too but my nose seems to find the spot better.

*Cooper had to have his first breathing treatment last week when he had that chest cold. We are hoping it is the last, and really hoping he doesn't end up with asthma.

*Every morning when I nurse Cooper in the study, while Devin watches cartoons, he always finishes off by trying to watch some cartoons too. I know he is done eating when he no longer tries to go back for more, and instead turns his head as far to the other side to see if he can see the TV!
*For the most part, Coop seems to have pretty much given up the paci. I'm not sure why I even try still, but he very rarely takes it, and it usually makes him mad when you give it to him!

*Coop LOVES his doggy toy that is in his car seat. He always fusses when I put him in his car seat but as soon as I hand it to him, he usually quiets down.
*Coop also often fusses when we are in the car and it isn't moving. He always wants to be moving! It can make for an interesting drive in traffic!
There is nothing sweeter to me than seeing the bond these two have formed and watching it grow! Every morning as we get out at school, Devin insists that she needs to kiss Cooper's head before we can get out of the car. It makes this momma's heart flutter!
