Cooper's first solid food experience went great!

baby month 5: just like that, he's an expert

At 5 months and 1 day, we woke up to find Cooper on his belly at 4:30 in the morning. Couldn't believe it. Now, 2 days later, he is an expert at rolling over!

Cooper was slightly more prepared for his second round of immunizations. Although, he wasn't looking forward to it. The pain didn't last too long, and he was in dream land in no time!

baby week 11: play mat, play time 2

Cooper spent a little more time on his play mat this morning. He definitely seems interested in the lights, sounds, and the giraffe! I can't wait for him to start grabbing for all the toys.

baby week 11: smiling

Cooper has been smiling a whole lot lately. He's giggled a couple times too! Can't wait to get one of those on camera.

baby week 10: shots!

Cooper had his shots today and he did not like them one bit! He has been laying in his mom's arms for the last 6 hours. He cries when he wakes up until Sophia calms him back to sleep. Poor guy, we're hoping he feels better tomorrow.

{Cooper got one shot in his left left and two in the right!}

baby week 10: he's a good sleeper

Cooper hasn't wanted to nap in his crib for several weeks now. Something happened today. I set him down in his crib and as soon as his head hit the sheet, he was asleep!

baby week 10: gracie, the protector

Crazy weather blew through Gilbert the other day. We had hail the size of golf balls! Gracie was outside right when it rolled in and was horrified. She quickly came in and laid by Cooper's feet. I think she was watching out for her little brother. Cooper didn't wake up until the storm passed. He found it relaxing.

Cooper had a fun time on his rainforest play mat today. Lights, colors, and shapes are coming into focus, and it certainly seems like he's enjoying himself!

Cooper spent a little bit of the afternoon on his tummy. Look what happened!

baby week 7: rolling over

Cooper had a little tummy time this morning and wasn't thrilled about it. He rolled over, twice!
