So I haven't been very good about updating the last few weeks. We've been keeping pretty busy with things like. . .
Cooper learning to eat anything he can put in his mouth. This blurry picture was pancakes. He's a good meat and potato eater. He had his first trip to Eats-n-treats last Saturday before branding and really likes french fries. He really liked my ice cream but only got a few bites for fear of a tummy ache. He's given up on baby food quite a while ago; so we try to get what we can in him. He refuses to eat off of a spoon for me; so it has to be stuff he can pick up himself. That sort of limits us for a while as it can't be too slippery or he gets mad that he can't hold it. He's doing pretty well and his little fingers are getting much better at picking up those little pieces and actually getting some of it in his mouth.
Paige started her first season of tee ball on Monday. We got a glove and tee and practiced a bit. I attended a practice this week and am excited to see how they progress . Coordination is not at its peak at age 5; but I see potential :)
Monster man--we need to drop the crib mattress down. Mr. Cooper is into everything. He has discovered the wonder of toilet paper rolling off the roll; the toilet; cupboard doors that open and shut; climbing over anything that is in his way on the living room floor-whether its a person or a pile of pillows. He is starting to push his walking toy around really well and has good balance with it; if it gets a bit ahead of him, he doesn't fall flat on his face as he's not putting all of his weight on it--he tends to just fall straight down on his bum. He also is not a tiptoe walker so I expect some steps pretty soon. I think it will make him a bit happier and help with some of the clingy, sad times he's been having. He wants to be held ALOT, and will just follow a person. Hoever, he has learned to say Mom-Mom-Mom over and over; too bad its when he's mad. I have come to the conclusion he knows its me as he will look at me and then start saying it and crawling towards me. He's babbling some da-da-da-da as well--but that' s a happy noise!
