Happy 8 Months Coop!

Was there time to blink between last month and this month? Wow it went fast!  What is Coop up to these days?  Well...here are just a few of the fun things he's been busying himself with and some other tidbits just for fun!

Diaper Size: Still a 4. I did buy him a size 5 Overnight this time around...he just keeps wetting through.  4oz bottle, 8oz bottle, no bottle. He is waking up wet. Poor baby!
Weight: HEAVY!  We don't go to the doc until May so we won't know for sure until then. Last check had him over 21lbs.  Momma's arm is sore a lot these days!
Sleeping all night every night with rare wake-ups
Has moved to a big boy, turned around car seat and no longer is riding in his pumpkin seat :(
He has gone on his first big boy cart ride and also eaten a few meals in a high chair when we are out.  Like a big boy :)
He is eating any and everything we give him.  Avocados, bananas, chicken, all veggies, potato, waffles.  He really just loves to eat!
Is clapping and waving like a madman.
I swear I've heard him say Hi and Yeah and Yay!
Crawling up a storm!  This kid is on the move and moving FAST! We often find him getting to the dog food and water bowls before we can even get them picked up.
Pulling up on things.  Couch, his crib (which is now at the lowest setting), laundry baskets...I even found him at the toilet...hanging on to the side. GROSS!
LOVES bath time.
LOVES going outside!
LOVES his big brother and his Dadda very much.
Has so much personality it's insane
Likes to crawl up to our feet and pull on our legs to get our attention
Makes us laugh, scratch our heads and sometimes go a little crazy as we try to keep up with him.
Oh...and I think he's working on a tooth or two...chewing on his fingers also like a madman!

Dear Cooper,
8 months old little buddy.  What a wonderfully exciting stage you are in!  You are pulling up, crawling around and showing us just how much you are able to do.  It's amazing watching you learn and grow!  But spare this Momma's heart and don't go growing up too fast ok??  I love our snuggles before bed. The way your smile melts away a stressful day and how much you seem to have a zest for life and exploring!  It never gets old seeing your amazement with new things!
Thanks for an amazing 8 months so far.
Love, Your Momma and Dadda
