Cooper 4 Months

It is hard to imagine that 4 months ago today my brother left on his mission and it was officially our first full day home from the hospital. What a week that was! Cooper is becoming a little chunk. I love his chubby cheeks, his contagious smile, and his cooing little voice! He gets so excited to see me, which delights me! He will move his arms up and down so fast when he sees me... so cute! He is so close to rolling over from flat on his back to his front- just getting stuck on his arm, I'm sure it will be any day now. He gets so frustrated when he can't roll all the way over and then starts crying. Cooper likes to arch his back, and will scoot off a blanket if he is laying on it. He often kicks his socks off and kicks his legs a lot more now. He loves to kick and splash in the bath tub. He loves to smile at Sydney and Matt, especially if he spots them from across the room. He has a cute little laugh, especially when we tickle him and are laughing ourselves! He is still a great sleeper, both at night and for naps. When Cooper does cry, it is very sad and dramatic. He knows how to melt our hearts! He loves to play with his tongue and blow bubbles. Cooper is such a happy baby and we sure love him!

Poor Cooper has been sleeping in his swing in the family room, instead of in his crib. His big sister seems to think it is a good idea to climb in his crib in the middle of the night, which is pretty dangerous to his safety... so we are working on coming up with a better solution to that problem!

Cooper does not like laying on his tummy... can you tell? He will roll over onto his back, if his arms are in the right position, and is then much happier! He will lay on his back content for a while, especially if he is on his play mat with his toys, which he loves.

At 4 months Cooper weighed 15 lbs 1 oz (52%), was 25 inches (51%), and had a head circumference of 16.3 inches (28%). The doctor said he is a champ and is healthy as can be! We are so grateful for his health and that he is developing well.
