Daddy is Funny

"My Daddy likes to make funny faces and noises.  I think it's hysterical."

An Expanding Diet



Trying to feed himself sweet potatoes

 Cooper is trying new foods now and loving every bite (most of the time).  After subsisting only on formula for the first 4 months of his life, he is excited to add more diverse dishes to his daily menu.  He's a fan of rice cereal, oatmeal, sweet potatoes, squash, pears, prunes, apples, mango, peas, carrots and blueberries.  He makes funny faces and spits out avocado and bananas.  Guess we'll have to sneak those in somehow...

Ethan taught C a new trick.  He now helps his Daddy turn the pages during story time. 

6 months old!

Halfway to turning one year old!  Seems like yesterday we were taking him home from the hospital.  At 6 months old, Cooper is on track to being a very big boy.  He's almost 28 inches long and 18 lb 9 oz heavy.  And I mean HEAVY. He is a very sturdy baby, sitting up great and really trying to crawl.  He can get on all fours but gets stuck with what to do next.  He turns his unsure-ness into a pretty fancy move - a faceplant ending in a quick roll to his back.

"What now?"



Faceplant!





Post-roll

 Also, we are pretty sure he will be a genius.  His head circumference is now in the 98th percentile.  That's right, his head is larger than 98% of babies his age....which explains why the baby sunglasses I bought him don't seem to fit right. 

Cooper is a fun baby and does many tricks to make us laugh.  He's been into blowing raspberries lately and has been known to spit at anyone who is within range.

If we are ever in need of a toy for C, all we have to do is set the timer on Ethan's watch for loads of entertainment!

Giggles

Cooper enjoys many things, but his exersaucer may be one of his favorites.  Or maybe he just likes it when people make funny faces at him.
