This is how I found him the other day. So long Southern Living magazine!
That same day I walked into his room and found him like this...
He was suppose to be asleep!
Cooper has had a busy month. He has been swimming
and swinging.
Changing his diaper is very similar to wrestling an alligator. Swamp People ain't got nothin' on me! Changing clothes is as equally challenging. He loves to eat and feed himself puffs and crackers. The sippy cup is still going well, and he loves his juice.
Over the past few weeks nap time has gotten so much better. I think I finally figured out the problem - don't rock him to sleep. I was rocking him completely asleep and then trying to put him down, but he would wake up soon after I would put him down, and then I would just hold him the whole nap time. I loved snuggling with my boy but I needed to get stuff done during this time. My mom suggested putting him down still awake and that did the trick. Now we rock and I read him a couple of books, and then I put him down. He takes about 5 - 10 minutes to get situated and then he falls fast asleep. Some days I've even had to wake him up to eat!
Everyday with him is such a blessing, and I never knew I could be so mesmerized by such a tiny being.
Happy 8 Month Birthday My Sweet Boy!
