How is it even possible that our sweet baby is half a year old already?! We don't go to the doctor until Dec. 5 due to Thanksgiving, so I will put his stats in a separate post next week.
Clothes: 6-9 months, 9 months
Growing Up: Coop is still toothless, but thanks to the amber necklace, he has been drooling less and chewing on his hands less! He is sitting up for a few minutes at a time now!
Likes: kicking his legs, trying to crawl (but not getting
anywhere fast!), sitting up, standing up (while leaning against something), playing with his elephant (Ellie),
sleeping on his belly, eating daddy's face, eating while mommy sings, trying to blow his tongue, sticking his tongue out, doing the airplane with mommy, sliding books around on the quilt, finding different textures, playing with his toes
Dislikes: Not being able to move when he is trying to crawl, not being picked up immediately when he wakes up, having his diaper changed, riding in the car, when Aunt Caitlin takes the ball away from daddy
Schedule: We are on a schedule-ish!!! I debated for a while if I should really try to put him on one, but it really been a blessing to both Coop and me.
All times are ish...
7:30 - wake up
9:15 - nap
11:00 - eat and play
1:00 - nap
2:30 - eat and play
4:30 - nap
5:15 - eat and play
7:00 - bath
7:15 - eat and bedtime
He still wakes up a couple of times to eat at night, but the times change every night.
Moments: Cooper has his first Halloween! Not that we went trick or treating. He also had a baby sitter (Caitlin) for almost 4 whole hours while we went to lunch and a movie. This was a big deal to me anyway! He giggled for the first time! It is so cute! (Of course I recorded it :))
I reintroduced tomato into my diet, and it seems to be going okay. It makes him a little gassy, but that's the only side effect I have been able to notice,which is great compared to what it used to do to him. I am still being cautious about eating tomato, but I am eating it in small amounts! Yay!
