Finally!!!

Finally - I think I figured it out..after hours and hours of trying to get video loaded from our camcorder to the computer, I think I got it. I am going to try to post some video of Cooper so yall can see it. There isn't a lot of excitement in this video, but I was mainly trying to get it working.

He is too funny...whenever we pull out the video camera, he clams up and won't smile and won't do anything. He is going to have to get better at that if he is going to be famous one day! Enjoy! Let me know how it looks!

Birthday Weekend

Saturday was Jeremy's birthday, so we had a busy weekend. I took off work on Thursday to run some errands and get him a birthday present and the little man came with me. We had a very interesting time at Target. He cried and whined almost the whole time in the store, so I was carrying him and dragging the buggy behind me! Then, as soon as I finished checking out, I realized that he only had one shoe on...he had lost the other one some where in the store. So there I went...holding him, dragging the buggy with my bags behind me, and looking down each aisle for a little blue shoe! It was crazy, but...you have to get stuff done!

I bought him a bumbo to sit in and he looks so cute when he is in it. He is growing like crazy and we have moved up to a lot more of the bigger clothes in his closet. The drawer that I have of clothes that he has grown out of is getting bigger and bigger! I can't believe it!
Friday night we had a pizza-bar party at Mimi and PawPaw's and Cooepr had fun seeing everybody.

I need to do a little more research because so far this rice cereal isn't doing very good on his tummy. I don't know if I should keep going, or just wait and go straight to first-stage vegetables in another month or so. I will do some reading on the internet to find out.
Here are some pictures of him in his bumbo.

Big Step

We took a big step this weekend. First, we went on Friday night and bought Cooper a high chair! Only big boys need high chairs! Then, we fed him cereal for the first time on Friday night. I started out trying to feed it with a spoon, but he was so mad...(he has to learn)...so then we put it in his bottle and he gulped it down. We fed it to him every night this weekend. I am going to try again soon with the spoon.


His new thing is he grabs onto everything he can. Jeremy was amazed last night because when he put him in bed and tried to give him his paci - Cooper grabbed Jeremy's arms and wouldn't let go. He wanted to be picked up! It is amazing what changes he goes through and how quickly they happen! He is also putting things in his mouth. He likes to put his fists in his mouth, if he has a bib on he puts that in his mouth and he likes to put Clifford in his mouth (not the paci, but Clifford himself!). Time is flying by!


Here is a picture of him eating in his high chair.
