The blog bandwagon

Ok, so we're finally hopping on the blog bandwagon. Quite a few of our friends have blogs, and have suggested it as a good way to keep in touch with friends and family. Not too sure how great we'll be at keeping up with the posting, but if we can, it will be fun for Cooper to have to look back on, as a sort of scrapbook.



We're starting this as Cooper is just over 7 months old, so right now he is sitting on his own, laughing, babbling, and has quite the little personality. He currently hates being on his tummy for any length of time during the day, and pitches a fit when he rolls over onto it (he can roll over from his back to tummy, but refuses to do so : ) Though he loves turning over and sleeping on his tummy at night, so try to figure that one out?? He also loves to hear himself screech, he does it all day long...Nick likes to call him a little teradactyl. Cooper thinks he's pretty hysterical! He absolutely loves to sit on the floor and play with toys, which is new in the last month or two. We think he might just skip crawling and just start walking, because he loves to stand and will even take a few steps if you're holding on to him. I guess we'll have to wait and see. Cooper is also eating solid foods now, he loves almost everything we've given him, though sometimes he's not crazy about peas or prunes, but it depends on the day. His new favorite is pickles. Who'd have thought? We went out to lunch the other day and let him suck on a pickle, and he LOVED it! Overall, Cooper is a really happy and laid back baby and we are very blessed by him. He definitely keeps us on our toes and makes our life more fun and rewarding. In the next few months he should begin crawling (if he ever learns to accept being on his tummy), and get a few teeth, so those are our next big milestones. Thanks for reading!
