Four Months

He grows, and grows, and grows so fast! Mr. Cooper is now pushing 18 lbs. We haven't had his length measured lately, but he is so very long! He's definitely working the spare tires up on his thighs too though. ;)

It's amazing how fast he is learning new things right now. He is babbling nonstop in the evenings. He is definitely giggling now, and not just when he's tickled. I was making funny noises for him over the weekend and he was laughing so hard at me. It's so fun watching his personality blossom. He is getting to the point where he hates to lay down in your arms. He wants to STAND UP! UP! UP! UP! If you sit him down, he pulls up. This boy is going to be just like his daddy, I think. Go, go, go. :) When he's not standing up, he likes to roll over, but only to the right. He will work himself in circles all over the floor rolling right.

We started cereal a couple weeks ago and while it took him a while to warm up to the texture, he eats it very well now, especially after I started stirring in a little applesauce to help with the taste.

Cooper has also developed a very interesting poop schedule over the past few weeks. Well, if you find poop interesting that is!! He poops daily Monday through Wednesday and then not again until Sunday or Monday. Very odd, but it's happened three weeks in a row now.

He had his first ear infection a couple weeks ago too. That was MISERABLE for everyone. He whimpered all night long for two nights. We thought it was his teeth bothering him, but then he started in with a green snotty nose and a cough. Off to the pedi we went and he was the proud owner of an ear infection. ICK! Thankfully he's all better now though.
