6.5 months

Aunt Amanda and Uncle Sam were in town for a wedding, so Cooper had a short visit with them today.  He must have really enjoyed their company because he refused to take his afternoon nap until they were gone.  Wish he (we) got to see his aunts and uncles more often!

We got a Fisher Price Jumparoo (Craig's List deal!) this week, and I think Cooper is starting to figure it out.  Check out this video (about 10 minutes prior, he was staring at me in confusion).

                                                     

New tricks: Cooper babbles a ton, and often says sounds that come out like words ("hi" and "mom").  He breaks out into a huge smile when you say "mama" or "dada".  He's obsessed with his feet.  He kicks and splashes like crazy during bath time.  Loves looking at himself in the mirror.  Seems to enjoy music - especially when you sing to him.  Has a sudden interest in all cats...will grab their fur as they walk by.  Soooo close to sitting up, but not quite there.  Eating a variety of foods - oatmeal, sweet potatoes, carrots, pears, apples, prunes, squash.  At 6-month check-up, he weighed 18 lb. 8 oz.  What a chunk!

Sleep report: We had 1 good week (sleeping through the night almost every night) but unfortunately this past week has been rough.  So disappointing!  Just trying to get back on track, because I sure did get spoiled...
