- Three days after his birthday his first tooth popped through! A few days later his 2nd tooth popped through. They are the middle bottom two and oh my goodness I love that little toothie grin!
- Transitioned from formula to whole milk and went very well. We basically just finished off the formula we had and haven't bought anymore since then! We like just having to buy the milk and not formula. We figured it up and it was $1/ounce for formula compared to $.05/ounce for milk. Happy day!! We've transitioned to about 3 bottles/day with sometimes a little afternoon snack of some milk.
- Still working on trying new table foods but he is pretty much against all real veggies. He eats baby food like crazy, but put the real thing in his mouth and he starts gagging. He does eat most real fruits, breads, oatmeal, yogurt, applesauce, and some meats. I try not to get frustrated, but it's not easy. I am thankful that he likes/eats something!
- Started standing in place without holding onto something. At first he did it on accident. He'd have something in his hands and let go of what he was holding onto and then realize that he was just standing there and then plop down on the ground. So funny.
- He quickly moved to being a furniture surfing pro, held onto our fingers and walked, and then would just hold onto a finger for balance. He took his first steps without holding onto anything going from Zach (on the couch) to me (sitting in the chair). It was totally a surprise as we weren't coaxing him as we had been doing a lot of and he did it two or three times.
- He started actually putting his blocks together and not just taking them apart after we put them together. He learned cause/effect. He figured out that if he pushes the button then music plays and then we heard the music over and over and over and over... He loves his airplane and his talking books.
- His receptive language is taking off! He really understands us and will do what we ask at times. He looks at things when we point to them. The first time I really noticed this was when we were playing upstairs and I said "Cooper go get your book". He went and got a book (the Bubble book) and then brought it to me, climbed in my lap and sat there waiting me to read it. He then wanted me to read it several times. He also pointed out his hair with the line "bubbles bubbles in my hair"! So proud of my little guy!!! Of course that very same morning I was changing his diaper on the floor and he escaped before I got the clean diaper on and I looked up and he was on all fours peeing on the floor. So much for my little genius. Ha!
- We set up gates at the bottom of the stairs because he suddenly became very interested in them. And we got a long gate at the top of the landing that blocks the stairs and the landing. I'm very pleased with it and so glad to have something to keep him safe upstairs.
- He cried for the first time when I dropped him off in the nursery on Mother's day. It was horrible! They said he only cried a minute or so and then was fine, but still it was hard to leave him when he was upset and he hasn't ever done that before.
- He's imitating all kinds of sounds... ma, ba, oh, lala, clicking his tongue, ah, aaa, mo
- Had a weekend visit to Mimi and Papaw's and Papaw babysat while Mom and I went to the Taylor Swift concert. The first full week in June Cooper spent a week with Mimi and Papaw. He went to Bible School with Mimi and had a blast hanging out with them. He had started walking just before he left and by the time he got back he was perfecting his "Zombie" walk and taking several steps across the floor. He was figuring out that it was faster to walk than crawl.
- The end of May, Grandmommy spent a week with us and got to spend lots of time with Cooper. We always love to have her here!
- Memorial Day we set up Cooper's pool at Danny's and Cooper got to go swimming for the first time.
- Had his first episode of strep throat. We caught it pretty early I think, but he was still pitiful and I hated to see him sick. Zach had to take him to the doctor since I was at work and really didn't need to take off (even though I really really wanted to) and they survived the strep throat test together. Poor guys.
- Still sleeping like a champ at night. Very consistent with his 11-13 hours at night. Nap times/lengths still vary depending on what's going on that day. He's really pretty laid back and go with the flow. I'm thankful for that.
