Jumperoo

About a week ago we got him a new toy - a jumperoo! He absolutely loves it! It is hanging in the laundry room so I can work while he plays. It plays music and other stuff and he goes to town!!!

Quick Recap

A quick recap of the week...not much to talk about! Cooper is doing good. He keeps eating like crazy now...we can't stop him. He is doing good with his fruits and vegetables. He has already tried applesauce, pears, carrots, green beans, squash, and sweet potatoes. All have been pretty good except the green beans - he didn't like them and they didn't like him!

On Saturday, I took him grocery shopping with me and he sat in the front of the buggy for the first time. He had a ball! I put the shopping cart cover in there and I kind of padded him in since he doesn't sit straight up completely yet and he was just fine. He loved looking at all the sights and sounds at the grocery store. He is always ready to see new things and take it all in. He was a hit, too! Who knew he would get so much attention and so many strangers would want to talk to him.

Cooper went to church today for the first time. We were nervous leaving him in the nursery, but Grandpa stayed with him and gave him first hand, top notch care! He was too cute in his polo shirt and pants - I will post the picture of Jeremy and Cooper getting ready to go to church. Aren't they the cutest?

Rolling Over

Well, I decided to get out the video camera and try to get a video of him rolling over. It appears as though his camera shyness has gone away (atleast for tonight, anyways!)! At first he just wanted to lay there and do nothing but yell at the camera. I have a whole other video of about 5-6 minutes of him doing nothing but screaming and talking! I stopped recording for a few seconds and he decided to start rolling over. In this clip, you get a taste of his yelling/talking and you get to see him rolling over!

The Littlest Astro

Last weekend Cooper got to go to his first Houston Astros game! He was so cute dressed in Astros gear from head to toe (well, the booties didn't really stay on). We had seats in the outfield and when we first got there and they were doing batting practice, Cooper had so much fun looking around and seeing all the people and the sights....then they sang the national anthem. As soon as the song was over, everybody clapped and cheered and it was downhill from there. He didn't like all the noise of the clapping and the music and he cried almost the whole time! I guess you don't realize how loud it is until you see that the little man is sensitive to it. Oh well...I know one of these days he will be dying to go to a baseball game and will be loving every minute of it! Until then, we can just look at how cute he is in his Astros gear!

The Lake

Well, we did get to go to the lake last weekend. I think I brought half of our house and it still seemed like there was some stuff missing! We had to take the truck since we were towing the trailer, so I put all of Cooper's stuff in plastic bags because I didn't want it exposed to the elements...a little neurotic, I know. Friday night was pretty bumpy. The little man was not used to the new environment and he didn't like that hard pack n play compared to the throne crib that he sleeps in at home. I don't think any of us got much sleep that night. Saturday night was a little better because we were all so tired, sleep came a little easier. I also got a blanket and got him fixed up in more comfort.
Our friends Dan, Jennifer, and Ty came from Nacogdoches to meet us. It was the first time for them to meet Cooper and the first time for Ty and Cooper to meet. Ty is a big boy...he crawls around and pulls up. We will be there before too long! Ty wanted to play with Cooper so bad, but the little man couldn't do much except lay there and kick! We didn't go outside much because it was too hot and we didn't get in the water because there was too much seaweed, so we pretty much played with the babies!

Cooper started rolling over from back to front this week. Earlier in the week he did it for Gran during the day but we couldn't get him to do it again at home. Today he was on a roll and did it several times for Gran and then kept rolling over when he got home. I think he has it down now! More changes all the time!

Here are some pictures of Ty trying to play with Cooper!
