Cooper is only 3-1/2 months old but we took him in for his 4 month appointment this past Saturday. Everything looks great. He is one skinny tall little guy though. I started to get worried because she said he's so tall but he's only in the 10th percentile for his weight. The doctor didn't seem concerned though because he gained consistently from his last appointment. I asked if there was anything we could do to help fatten him up and she didn't give us any advice. She said he's eating fine. He already has cereal in every bottle due to his acid reflux. Cooper is doing great on all of his milestones. His neck control is really strong now. She did the lay down pull on his wrists test to see how his head dangled and he held it completely even with his body and just sat there like it wasn't even a test. She said "wow, that's great" out loud. The only thing he hasn't done that most babies do by 4 months is laugh out loud. But that very same day we went to visit my family after his appointment and my older brother was playing with Cooper and we hear this giggling. It was the best sound ever. He laughed for the very first time out loud on January 9th. It was the best. Here are his measurements for 3-1/2 months old. 12 lb 4 oz 25" long head 40.2cm He is 10th percent in weight 50th percent in height 10th percent in head size My husband is tall and skinny so I'm not all that concerned. Especially since the doc said she wasn't. He still has little rolls. I'm so proud of our little monkey. He is doing so well. We love him so very much. I was finally able to upload a few of the videos we have been taking since Christmas when we got this new video camera. I love it so far. For those of you who asked its a Cannon FS20. With the built in 8GB memory and we bought some extra to put in it. I like it so far and it seems easy enough to use. Here is a video with Cooper and some pictures from the past week, Some are just random pictures of Cooper and some are pictures from my moms 50th Birthday party.. I have a ton. So enjoy!
Don't worry about his weight, Abby was in the 3rd percentile for almost 6 months and now is finally in the 10th. As long as their body is proportionate, they are fine. Also, you and you hubby are thin too, so you should expect him to follow you two. :)
He sounds like he is doing well! He looks really happy and well adjusted too so just take the doctor's words with a grain of salt - he's just going to be more svelte rather than chunky but as long as he is eating well than he's okay. Those are awesome pictures too!
He is just too stinkin' cute! I cannot believe he is 4 months old already!! Even though I just started my blog, I have been following yours forever! p.s. i love, love, love your hair! it makes me want to cut mine again!! && we would totally make great friends ;)
my josiah is tall and skinny, too! cooper is too cute... i love his bald little head:) i prayed and prayed for a bald baby and all 3 of mine came out with TONS of hair!!
These pictures are ADORABLE!!! He's getting so big.
PS:I was looking at your pic (nothing against them) but did u know you can center them in middle by simply typing < center > at the begining of the pic & < /center > at the last picture. But connect the <> together. This will make them more organized and centered. Just thought I'd share. Oh & I'm trying to catch up on your post if you haven't noticed. heheh :)
My name is Melissa, My hubby's name is Julian and we have two sweet babies. Our sweet baby boy Cooper. Well I call him a baby boy, he's not quite a baby anymore. We also have a new addition to our family. Blakely is our precious daughter. We are so truly blessed by out two amazing children. My husband and I got married in June of 2003. He is the most amazing supportive and understanding man. I am lucky to be married to such a wonderful man.
I was diagnosed with PCOS. I don't ovulate very often. After years of trying, countless IUI'S and a miscarriage we turned to IVF with hopes that God would give us an angel baby to bless our lives. I started to blog to talk with other women who were struggling with infertility. To be able to vent my feelings and have support. Now I enjoy adding in all kinds of great things about my son and his life. We plan on trying to have more children in the future and doing IVF again if need be. But until then we are having the time of our lives enjoying our two little munchkins.
GOD IS GOOD!

Maybe Jackson can give Cooper some of his fatness:) Happy 4 months sweet boy!
I think Coop is just the right size! Cute family pics. =)
Somehow he keeps getting cuter. You would think that it would be impossible with how cute he already is but no, it is :)
