Week in Review

So happy
Ouch my first bandaid :(
Having fun outside at the birthday party!
Love taking my naps now!

Cooper has had a very eventful week. First of all he has mastered nap time. He goes down between 9am and 10am then again between 2pm and 3pm. I now just have to lay him down in his crib, start his mobile, and he is out within minutes. It is amazed me that he took to it so fast and so well.

We have continued to add new food to his feedings. This week we added mangos and he loved them. He does not like vegetable stew he just shut his mouth and would not allow me to feed him. So we went back to the basics! He has now had sweet potatoes, apples, pears, bananas, green beans, peas, and carrots. He has done amazing with them all and really has only turned away that combination that I tried to give him. We will be going back to making our own in about 2 weeks. I just wanted him to get use to eating before I tired my homemade ones which are a different texture.

Cooper got his first gash this week as well. The camera was on the coffee table and he decided to pull it off with the strap. It landed right on his head and left a small little mark. It only sent him back for about a minute then he was back at getting into EVERYTHING. I have now gone through the living room and removed anything from his reach. He has also banged his head a few times on the floor trying to crawl. He is still working on that so we have had to pick him up a few times and calm him down. Poor guy!

This week we also went to our first birthday party. One of his friends River had her first birthday party. He had a great time laying on the blanket outside and taking everything in. He loved all the bright colors that they decorated with and was so busy watching the other kids run around. A raccoon decided to come out for a visit while we were there which did make me a little nervous but it stayed off the deck we were on and just ate then left :)

Both Rob and I feel that Cooper will be breaking through teeth really soon. He has been running a slight fever all week and has just been a little off. We can feel a few teeth right under the skin so it is just a matter of time.

He is now pulling himself up on his bouncy chair and will pull himself to standing while holding your fingers. It is so amazing how strong he is getting and just a reminder of how little time is left before he is running around the house.

Because he was not able to get his shots last week because of his fever we will be going this week so that will not be fun. We will also be moving a week from now so we will be spending the majority of our time this week getting ready for that.
