Watch out world, Cooper is starting to grab at things. It happened this week in Seattle and it was awesome because we were all in the car when we saw Cooper reach out and grab his toy in the car seat. He was totally playing with his toy, it crinkles and we heard it. He then progressed to grabbing a toy and bringing it toward his mouth. He likes to stare at his fists and he's doing a good job of sucking on his thumb and fingers. At a restaurant he grabbed at a spoon too. He laughs a lot and smiles at himself in the mirror. If he's crying and sees himself in the mirror he will stop crying and smile.
The other thing he started doing which is not so fun is throw little temper fits. He's in the habit of continuing to scream even after he's brought to the food source for a good 15 seconds. We decided this is his way of telling us just how unhappy he is at how long it took to get him his food.
And there are more changes. He likes to be bounced either while we are standing or sitting. We have a fitness ball and he loves bouncing on that with us. He likes facing out in the sling and Bjorn, preferring to look out than toward us. Oh, and he is not enjoying his car seat as much. He squawks when he's in his seat, he has never done that before. When shopping he would rather be in a sling than in the car seat. He loves watching Monday night football with Aunt Connie who tells him all about what is happening. He is looking around his world all the time, following the dogs with his eyes, tracking his toys that we move across his field of vision, searching for his mommies when others are holding him.
It is cool to see him change and grow even though it's happening so fast. His hair is starting to fall out too, on the side of his head, yet he still has sideburns.
