Mommy is doing a really bad job of updating my blog lately! Bad Mommy!!!



There is lots of big news too. I am now saying Dada most of the time when Mommy says it first. And today I almost said Mama! I was watching Mommy say it and I put my lips together for the "mmmmm" but nothing came out. I have also been taking some independent steps. Sometimes I walk between two things without even realizing it. I took four whole steps the other day!!

Tommorow is my first Gymboree class! I am so excited!!

I woke up in a good mood this morning, at 10 AM no less ( I never sleep that late for Mommy!). I stayed in a pretty good mood all day long too. Not sure why. I was really happy to get to hang out with Daddy, so maybe that was it. Today I even said "dadadadada" for Mommy, but not for Daddy of course. I had a good time playing with the legos and my two tents. It was a good day, hopefully tommorow will be good too!!

I was supposed to go to the doctor today to see why I cry so much. Mommy is getting desperate! I got out of it though cause Mommy was too sick to take me, yay! Unfortunately since Mommy was so sick that also meant I had to watch Baby Signing Times like 5 times in a row. I think I may be a little sick too, I wasn't feeling to great tonight :(

Cooper really enjoyed riding around the neighborhood in his new wagon, but he wasn't into smiling for the camera.

I think he finally realized that Mommy wasn't going to give up until she got a real smile.

Pondering Global Warming? Does this kid need to loosen up or what!

This morning was so much fun!!! After Quinn went to school me, Mommy, and Great Grandma Berta went to IHOP for breakfast. It was pretty exciting to go to a restraunt with just Mommy and no Quinn. Mommy ordered me a kid size cup of apple juice and it was the best thing ever!! I felt like such a big boy drinking out of a cup and straw just like Mommy. I liked it so much that Mommy had to refill my cup twice with her water! Then the food came and I ate some of Mommy's eggs and pancakes. It was really yummy! She should have gotten me my own meal, there was a sign there that said "kids eat free".

After breakfast we went to the carpet store and ordered new rugs for Grandma Berta's house. I can't wait to track mud all over them! The man at the store was really nice, but he didn't know much about babies...he actually offered me a piece of candy! Carmel at that! Hello, toothless wonder here, what the heck am I going to do with carmel???

Tonight Mommy dug out her baby food grinder. She ground up a chicken nugget and some mac and cheese for me. I actually really liked it, but I was too cranky to eat much. Maybe we will try again tommorow, it sure tasted better than that stuff from a jar!!!

Me and Mommy went to meet my playgroup at the playground this morning. This time they were actually there and I got to hang out with some other babies. It was fun but I stuck pretty close to Mommy. I am a very clingy baby. I did fall over and bump my head but I got over it pretty quick.

I am still being really cranky and crying most of the day. I hope it is cause I am getting teeth, I was the only one at playgroup with no sign of teeth! Even the 4 month old had some breaking though!!!

Today after we dropped Quinn off at school me and Mommy went to the supermarket! It was so much fun! I got to sit in the cart and I was such a good boy, for the first 15 minutes. Then I decided the metal bar in front of me looked yummy, so I latched on and started sucking...I know, predictable right? So Mommy decided that was gross and put her hand there to block me....so I just moved over some and started sucking on a fresh area. Oh well, that is what typical babies do right??? Then I got bored so I started yelling. Mommy told the poor girl at the checkout counter to never have kids! That wasn't very nice Mommy!!!

Then this afternoon we all went to Virginia again. I am happy to report that, unlike last time, I did not cry the whole way home. Mommy is pretty happy to report that too! I was a really good boy the whole trip, plus we didn't get stuck in traffic which helped. Tonight me and Quinn had a great time playing together in the playroom.

My name is Cooper, it is my name...mine! Mommy worked very hard to find me a nice original name that every other kid in my class would not also have. Sure it may be somewhat popular in Austrailia, but not here....at least it wasn't.

Here is the picture that Mommy found in her email today, look at the name they chose!

So if my name is so popular now, why does everyone still call me Connor??? Okay, I am done whining.

Today was really fun! This morning Quinn was in school and we had a Mommy/Cooper date. We went to the playground. We were supposed to meet up with some other kids my age, but there were so many people at the playground we couldn't find them. That is okay, I had a great time swinging and watching all the big kids play. The best part was that it was all about me.
