Cooper is 4 months old today

The time is passing way to fast. Our little angel son is 4 months today. The hubby and I are loving every single second of our life with Cooper. He is such a happy, joy filled baby boy. He grows right in front of our eyes every single day.

Here are some of the things he's doing these days.....

-Cooper can stand while holding our fingers and he can stand for what seems like forever. He never wants to sit down. He is go, go, go until finally he wears himself out and goes to sleep.
-He is such a playful little boy. Always playing with toys, sticking EVERYTHING in his mouth.
-He is talking up a storm, He especially likes anything that starts with a G. He says Gaaaahggggggeeeegaaagaaueeeyyyyggg g g. Its constant, He loves to just talk away.
-Cooper laughed for the very first time January 10th. 2010. We were at my parents and my older brother Matt was playing with Cooper. He had him propped up on the couch and was in front of him leaning in and getting him with the tickle monster hands. I walked in from shopping with my mom and sis in law and heard this adorable little giggle. It was all low and sort of hah, hah, hahish. I ran into the living room to see my son laughing. OH MY GOSH "MATT HE'S LAUGHING". Matt goes.. "Yah". I was like "HE'S NEVER DONE THAT BEFORE, OH MY GOSH, JULIAN COOP IS LAUGHING". It was awesome.
However he hasn't laughed since despite my constant tries. He seems like he's always on the verge but just can't do it. I tell him, "Coopy, did you think uncle Matt is funny looking :) is that why you laughed at him and not mommy".
-Cooper is now taking 4 ounces sometimes 4-1/2 ounces every 4 hours. We try to give him 5 ounces before bed. Sometimes he takes it sometimes he doesn't. This is a new thing so we will see how it works.
-Cooper is the most cuddly sweet little boy EVER. He will lay his head on my shoulder and love me. Then he's ready to play.
-Cooper LOVES his exersaucer, but only for about 15-20 minutes twice a day, and he prefers for us to be right by him watching him play. His toy has this little frog/lizard guy that lights up when you touch it and it sing "red, yellow, and blue-ueee ooh ooh ooh". Its really funny and it sounds like its from the 70's but boy does Coop love that thing. He just talks as it sings. So cute.
-Cooper loves to have quiet play time with mommy or daddy sometimes twice a day. He likes to lay down on the (clean) rug in his room and we just fold all his clothes and laundry while he lays and smiles and talks to us. He's a big helper.
-Cooper goes to dinner with us and sits patiently on mommies lap while I eat. He is such a good boy.
-The things I expect to start happening soon are... He seems to by trying to learn to sit on his own. (he's still really wobbly but he's working on it). He is SUPER slobbery and has to be biting, not sucking but biting on something all the time.
I'm pretty sure he started the teething process, even if it does take a while for them to come out.
-He LOVES his baby Einstein car toy that lights up and sings and he throws quite the colossal fit if he doesn't get it turned on when he wants it on.
-Cooper has a mind of his own, even at 4 months he knows what he wants and when he wants it and if he doesn't get it at that moment. or if it takes mommy and daddy a little time to figure out what he wants. Boy does he get mad. We are working on how to teach him to control that. We'll have to do that when he can talk to us and understand us though.
-I like to say that he has quite the "spicy" personality, just like his momma, but can be super laid back still just like his daddy.

We love Coop more than I ever imagined I could possibly love someone. He is amazing. I thank God every day for him and pray for his life and health and happiness.

We love you sweet Coopy monster.
