It has been a while since I have been able to get on and update the blog. I feel like we have been nomads for the last month...running away from hurricanes! Cooper has not enjoyed traveling to distant lands all the time. He likes to be at home. We left for Gustav and went to Austin and were gone 4-5 days. We weren't home a full week, I don't think, and we were packing again for Ike! This time we went to Dallas for 2 nights and then headed back to Austin for another 5 nights. That was just too much for him. He never could get used to the new surroundings, the new schedule, everything...and boy did he miss his daddy! This last stay in Austin, he even got a rash on his cheeks and I think it was from all the bleach and stuff in the hotel sheets and towels. I don't guess they wash their stuff in Dreft! Anyways, we are back home now and hopefully he will be getting back into his old routine soon...and it better be soon because his momma is getting tired of the lack of sleep!
In between Gustav and Ike he had his 6-month doctor check up. Jeremy got to go with us this time because he was off of work for jury duty. The little man got a mouth vaccine and three shots, but the doctor said he looked great. He was 26 1/2 inches and 17 pounds 7 ounces. He is still in the 50th percentile on both height and weight.
He is full fledged into eating baby food now and he loves it. He is getting more and more interested in our table food every day. He wants to grab our plates anytime he is within reach of real food. He is sitting up so good and we are taking major steps with the sitting up. He now sits in high chairs at restaurants and he sits in the buggies at the store. That is much easier for me instead of toting that baby carrier around all the time. That big old lug is getting heavier and heavier to carry - especially when you add in the weight of the carrier. I have also started giving him baths in the real bath tub. I just sit him down in it and I am right there in case he decides to start tipping over. He is doing so good!
We are also a half step away from actually crawling. He does a kind-of commando belly crawl thing right now because he hasn't figured out the whole knee/arm coordination, but he definitely can get himself wherever he needs to go. He can go from one side of the room to the other.
Hopefully we will get more and more back into our routine and I will have time to get back into posting more often. Sorry for the delay! More to come soon....
Our 1st bath in the real bathtub!
Sitting up so good!!!
