6 months

A little late on posting, but a lot has been going on with us.

Cooper went in for his 6 month appointment on April 16th where he had his examination and received his shots.

Statistics:  The nurse was pleased with how he was growing.  His head continues to go up on the curve, but does not seem to be alarmed as it is inline with his height.
Height:  26.75 inches (65%)
Weight:  15 lbs 10 oz (20%)
Head Circumference:  17 5/8 inches (75%)

Sleeping Patterns: Cooper was sleeping fantastic in the beginning, but then took a turn and has been waking every 2-3 hours.  We are not sure what is causing this (either he is hungry, or is waking up in the night because of gas and he has difficulty putting himself back to sleep).  We are still working on napping.  He can usually nap for 45 minutes, but cannot go longer than that.  He is napping 3x/day.

Eating Habits: Cooper was started on solids.  He has tried:  sweet potatoes, bananas, avocados, apples, zuchinni, peaches and carrots.  He gets about 1 tablespoon 1x/day.  He is still getting use to the idea of solid foods, and is not always interested in eating.  Bananas seem to be his favorite, but tend to make him constipated.

Accomplishments:  Goes into the BOB stroller for stroller strides and runs with mommy.  Has been able to roll front to back and back to front (but not very consistently).  Sits supported with Boppy.  Can now jump in Johnny jump up.

Discoveries: He has discovered his voice and talks to himself and his toys.  Continues to reach for his feet.  Likes putting his hands in the puree food and discovering the texture.  Cooper enjoys looking around at other people and smiling at them. He loves having bubbles blown on him.

Special Memories:  Celebrated his 1st Easter in Colorado with Grandma and Grandpa Adams, Uncle Chris and Corey and Auntie Karrington.  Went to our mommy and me classes where we sang songs and played with other babies.  Flew back to Denver in the beginning of April for the memorial service of our friend's dad who passed away from his long battle with cancer.

Cooper continues to be a fun and loving boy who challenges us as parents.  We enjoy seeing him grow and discover new things.  We love hearing him laugh and smile.  Some of his favorite songs include: the wheels on the bus, and if you are happy and you know it.  His daddy needs to learn more kids songs.

We cannot believe he is half way til his first birthday.  Guess it's time to get planning! :)
