Sitting, propping, and rocking, OH MY!

Sitting up last weekend

Sitting up like a big boy in his bed

So, I have figured out that I am not really good at this blog thing. I mean to blog ALL THE TIME, but never take the time to do it. I thought I would do it real quick tonight to update everyone on Cooper's growth into a "big boy". Last weekend, he began to sit up on his own and within 24 hours he was completely sitting on his own and playing as he sat. It is so fun to see and he really, really enjoys it. Also, he began getting up on all 4's and "standing" there. Yesterday he started rocking AND scooting backwards. Oh my... my sweet baby is growing up. OH and he finally got his first tooth. So much in such a short amount of time. No wonder I am tired all the time!!!

(Just another cute one that I thought I would share...)

5 months and counting!!!

First day of classes bring convocation and Billy gets to march into chapel in his regalia!

Clara even came to see him.

Coop was looked SO cool walking to campus!

How cute is this guy???

Happy 5 month birthday!

Last week was a big week.  Billy and I started teaching at the college and Cooper turned 5 months.  

Good Morning from Cooper

My sweet angel is a morning baby and he is so sweet.  I thought I would share this picture...

Yummy... Squash!

We have started feeding Cooper cereal and baby food and he has really taken to them.  I thought I would share some pictures.

Little buddies

I keep forgetting to add new pictures of Cooper and his buddy Brody.  Since Brody is at Bible Camp this week with his family, I thought I would post them now.  :)  Something to help Coop and I as we miss our friends.  Ha!

New food

Monday was Cooper's 4 month Doctor's appointment which brought some tears (4 month shots) and some new food options.  We started Cooper on rice cereal that night and he seemed to like it.  You can see for yourself in the pictures.  :)

BIG Day!!!

Today was Cooper's 4 month birthday and it marked 2 big milestones.  First, this afternoon Coop put his big toe in his mouth.  :)  We knew it was coming... he has been playing with his feet for weeks, so we got a big laugh out of his new found flexibility.  Second, today he rolled over for the first time from his back to his tummy.  I nearly missed it, but the motion of his roll caught my eye and so I got to see him go from his side to his tummy.  He was QUICK!!!  Unfortunately, Billy was outside stripping the porch (we are doing some home improvement), but we know it will happen again.  The "naked" picture is just after he rolled.  He knew I was SO proud of him and he smiled for about 20 minutes straight.  He was pretty proud of himself.  Happy Birthday little man!!!!
