[35] & [8]

Double Whammy today!

And I can see from here on out, it's going to be difficult to get a good weekly picture!





Clothes: a few 6-9 months (most have been put away), 9 months, and some 12 months :-0!

Growing Up: Coop has TWO teeth (although they aren't very visible unless you are looking)!  He also is army crawling.  He only uses his left arm.  It's so cute!!!  He is getting pretty good at it.  Coop can get up on all fours when he wants to (which is usually in his crib.)  I would say 6/7 nights he sleeps all night.  He is also eating solids!  This has been so much fun to watch.  He is already getting smaller pieces in his mouth (though no bean/pea small yet.)  He LOVES eating, too.
Likes: standing up (while leaning against something or holding onto fingers), sucking his thumb (and toes!), sleeping on his belly, doing the airplane with mommy, books, feeling different textures, throwing thing or watching mommy and daddy toss a ball, someone coming to get him up from nap/bed time, knocking down towers mommy and daddy set up, squealing, pears and sweet potatoes, anything with lights, his book he gets in the bath, crawling all around the living room, peekaboo, story time, playing with Georgie, mommy's plant, watching mommy and daddy in mirrors

Dislikes: Not being able get where he is going fast enough, having his diaper or clothes changed, carrots, Jumparoo (this was a big change because he used to LOVE it!), being cleaned up after eating, mommy feeling for his teeth, having his hair washed, growing teeth

Schedule:  
This is our basic schedule, but it changed depending on how well he naps and when he wakes up
7:30 - wake up
8:00 - breakfast
9:15 - nap
11:00 - play
12:00 - lunch
1:30 - nap
3:30 - play
4:45 - nap (if needed)
5:30 - play
6:30 - supper
7:00 - bath
7:15 - eat and bedtime

Moments:  Cooper has lived in two different years now! He is now in his big boy car seat and uses a big boy stroller (which we have used several times already).



I have slowly been reintroducing dairy.  So far, I think it's going well.  I am still eating mostly dairy free, but am not avoiding dairy if it's in food.  I have even had real milk!  No cheese yet though... that will come next week.  I don't want to eat too much and overload his (or my!) system, so I am not going back completely dairy free yet, but am hoping to get there sooner rather than later.

Coop has officially been on the outside longer than the inside!

I was lucky to get this shot...


Because then this happened...

Christmas in the mountains

Christmas wasn't exactly how we imagined, but Cooper did have a good time in the GA mountains!

We spent Thursday - Sunday in Ellijay.  The weather was pretty the first day, but then it was rainy and cloudy the rest of the time.  There was a scorpion in the basement, and Cooper even slept ALLLLL night twice!  

Here are some pictures.










Cooper's seal of approval... putting it in his mouth!
