cooper (5 months old)

5 months as of 1/27/14

Weight: 17 lb

Height: 27 in.

Sleeping: Still great. He goes down for the night around 7-7:30 and wakes up between 5:30-6 everyday. He takes 2 naps most days but sometimes there is a third one. His naps are normally 2.5-3 hours so basically he sleeps most of the day still!! Silly boy loves his sleep!

Eating: We have officially joined the baby food eating club! He has had green beans and sweet potatoes. The first one we tried was green beans. It was hilarious watching him eat for the first time. He was so confused and did not like it one bit. By day four he was tolerating it but still not sure and then we gave him sweet potatoes and the process started all over again. The green beans he had were store bought because my first baby food making experience was a fail and I temporarily gave up, but I decided to give it another try with the blender instead of food processor and it worked SO much better. Now I am totally addicted to making his food. It is healthier and so much cheaper and this lady is always looking for a way to save a buck. He has 3-4 formula bottles a day. One at 6:00am, one at 10:30-11, one at 3:00-3:30 and one at 6:00-6:30. He sticks to his schedule on his own most of the time, but some times he sleeps through the 3:00 bottle and only eats his puree at 5:30.

Firsts: Green beans, sweet potatoes, drinking from a sippy cup (water), playing in the walker, sitting in a high chair at a restaurant, snow day, going to the nursery at church for the first time (Yes, it took me over 4 months to bring him and the only reason he went was because I was forced to since he wouldn't sit still during the service anymore. Over protective momma, I know!)

Liking: mama and daddy, swing, baby K'tan, tv, iPad, activity mat, Sophie the teething giraffe, jumperoo, high chair, bed, Aden and Anais blankets, bath time, dogs, high chair toys

Disliking: when mom has to get boogies out of his nose, eating baby food, being alone, sleeping on his back
