[9]

Our Cooper is 3/4 years old!  Hopefully by the time he is 10 months, we will be living in Tennessee!

Clothes: a few 9 months that we are squeezing him into (mainly long sleeved shirts) and 12 months

Growing Up: Cooper has gotten much more efficient at crawling.  He gets up on all fours, and for a while seemed interested in crawling like that, but now just enjoys rocking.  He is also working on crawling over obstacles (AKA me).  He has learned to open and close the doors on the entertainment center.  Cooper has also developed the pincher grip and can easily eat small pieces of food (Cheerios, beans, peas). He hasn't shown too much interest in getting to a sitting position from laying, but he seems to want to pull up lately.  He can use the handle on the ottoman to pull himself up though.

 

Likes: standing up (while leaning against something or holding onto fingers), sucking his thumb (and toes!), books, feeling different textures, throwing thing or watching mommy and daddy toss a ball, someone coming to get him up from nap/bed time, anything with lights, his book he gets in the bath, crawling all around the apartment, peekaboo, story time, playing with Georgie, mommy's plant, watching mommy and daddy in mirrors, Jumparoo (back on the like list!), gnawing on wooden blocks, eggs, zucchini, bread, Cheerios, pasta

Dislikes: having his diaper or clothes changed, carrots, green beans, being cleaned up after eating, being in the car seat or stroller for too long, not being able to crawl over mommy fast enough

Schedule:  

This is our basic schedule, but it changed depending on how well he naps and when he wakes up

8:00 - breakfast

9:15 - nap

11:00 - play
12:30 - lunch

6:30 - supper

7:00 - bath

7:15 - nurse and bedtime

Moments:  Cooper stayed in a hotel for the first time!  It was not a success.... the second time was much better!!  He got to touch Maybelline, but we're not sure she liked it.  Cooper LOVED grabbing at her.  He ate in a restaurant for the first time (Zaxby's- he had apples and banana).  We took him to the park and put him in a baby swing.  He didn't HATE it, but he sure didn't like it!  Cooper also went house hunting!  He slept through the house we ended up making an offer on though. Typical baby. :)
