My favorite things

As Cooper nears his 5-month birthday, we are completely amazed at how different he is from the baby of just a few months ago.  He is really developing into a little person.

Some of his favorite things:

-Grabbing the burp cloth and covering his face

-Playing peekaboo

-Sucking his thumb

-Reading books

-Bath time
-Smiling and giggling
-Talking
-Watching TV (we think he likes the bright colors)
-Looking in the mirror
-Going to the pool (well, he was pretty indifferent during his first pool experience, so I'm hoping that means he will like it soon)
-Rolling over (rolled from back to front for the first time)
-Diaper changes
-Playing with Daddy

Some of his least favorite things:
-Solid food (failed attempt #1 occurred last Thursday evening)
-Sleeping at night (falling asleep, staying asleep...pretty much everything about it)
-Shots (can you blame him?)

Some of my favorite recent photos:

Delinquent Blogging

I know it's been a long time since I've posted.  Truth be told, we haven't taken many photos of the little guy recently.  Ever since I returned to work, life has taken on a new kind of busy.  We finally have a more laid back weekend coming up, and Father's Day is sure to provide some good photo opps.  So, be on the look-out for some new photos next week!

Cooper has his 18-week appointment tomorrow.  He was 15 lb. 11 oz. about 1.5 weeks ago, so I'm sure he's around 16 pounds now.  His weight is ridiculous!  We're dealing with sleep struggles these days (he's actually sleeping worse than he was 1 or 2 months ago) but otherwise is doing great.  He's happier than ever and sharing lots of grins, giggles, and coos.  It really melts your heart.
