Cooper the Crazy Crawling Baby!


In honor of Mother's Day and all that my Mommy & Daddy have taught me I thought I would update everyone on my latest achievements!

As the title states... I am a Crazy Crawling Machine! Now that I can crawl I don't want to stay still! I crawl when I am on the ground, I crawl in bed, I even try to crawl when Mommy & Daddy are carrying me! I climb pillow barricades or just plow straight through them with my head! Wires, prickly plants, plastic bags and sharp corners intrigue me. I am very stealthy. And very quick. I can even get myself back to sitting after I've been crawling now! I'm working on standing up. I can get up on my two knees but when I try to push with my foot I end up back on all fours. Yesterday Mommy & Daddy took me looking for baby gates... apparently they plan to make a giant pen for me. Like I'm some kind of animal or something... like that will stop me!

Speaking of shopping... Mommy & Daddy bought all of this baby food making stuff... seems Mommy want to try her hand at steaming and pureeing things for me to eat. Whatever makes her happy I guess... (as long as it tastes good!)

Now onto diapers. I have been wearing size 4 diapers for about a week now! After 2 giant night time leak-outs Mommy decided something had to change. She deduced that perhaps the problem was my diapers not fitting right. I am not a big boy, but I am tall so the size 3's just didn't sit high enough anymore. The size 4's are great. No more leaks! That makes Mommy very happy.

Next order of business... teeth. Tooth number two is here! Well.... basically. You can see it, it's pushed way out... it's just underneath a pesky layer of skin that refuses to pop. It hurts really bad. Sometimes it wakes me from my sleep and makes me cry. Thank goodness for icecubes and mesh feeders... and for Khai's Mommy for telling my Mommy about that trick :)

Well... that's about it for updates today. It is Mother's Day so I'm going to let Mommy take a break from typing now. We're going to Van Dusen Gardens to look at lots and lots of pretty flowers!! I'll have Mommy post some pictures of our trip later!

Today's picture is just me hanging out on the floor with my toys posing for the camera :)
