This week was a bit less eventful for us, thank goodness! However, this weekend was not :) Friday and Saturday I had CPR training at the Y. I'm glad to be officially trained now, it's good information to know having a child around; everyone should do it! Saturday afternoon we were going to ride around and look at a few houses in the area but when we went to crank the jeep....it wouldn't start! Seriously?!?! can we never catch a break?!? Carrington and his dad tried all they knew to try...wiggled battery cables, unhooked and re-hooked up battery cables, knocked on the starter...nothing! Carrington suspected it was the starter, which was frustrating because it has been replaced in the last 50,000 miles or so. Long story short, the starter was not bad but there was something in the battery cable connections causing it to not start. Easy fix, thank goodness! :) The rest of this week has been low key, Monday I packed more stuff at home, Tuesday I worked at the Y, and Wednesday we had a play date with Leah (And Carter and Madison) and Katherine (and Olivia). It was fun to see Cooper somewhat interact with them a little more now that he's more mobile and interested in playing. Of course i forgot my camera so i didn't get any pictures of the three of them playing! :( Maybe Katherine will share her pictures (hint hint). I think she got a few cute ones!
At 39 weeks Cooper:
- has officially been here with us for as long as I was pregnant with him!
- has one tooth broken through and another on the way
- is really getting good at walking! He pulls up on his zebra and takes off!
- has started wearing his stride rite shoes now that's he's walking around more. It is definitely taking him some getting used to....he seems to have a little more trouble moving gracefully with clunky shoes on his feet....but they don't slow him down much!
- is such a determined little boy! if he sees something he wants, or something that he wants to figure out, he doesn't quit till he gets it or figures it out
- stands for a few seconds at a time, unsupported, until he realizes what he's doing and then sits down! :)
- is a little squatter! he will hold onto the toy box or couch or whatever is near by, to stand and very easily squats for whatever toy he wants. It's so cute to see his little butt from behind squatting down to get a toy! :)
- has become quite the little silly boy! He often tries to share his paci with me these days and then laughs about it. Last night as I was rocking him at bed time he was half asleep but pulled the paci out, reached it up to my mouth and, with a little half grin, said "heh-heh-heh"
- is starting to reach out for people he knows. Yesterday he reached to Carrington's mom and sister and he often reaches to my mom as well. I'm glad he's starting to do this and not just wanting me to hold him all the time!
- is comfortably wearing size 6-9 month clothes now. He's still pretty solidly a size 6 month pant though, the 9 month ones just tend to slide of his little behind...he just doesn't have the waist to hold them up! :)
- is getting a little stubborn about a bottle. While I had CPR training, which was for hours at a time, I left bottles for him and he refused to take them! Friday night he even just went on to bed with no milk at all that evening! Not sure why he's not refusing the bottle unless he just prefers to nurse and doesn't want anything to do with another type of nipple?!?!
- eats 3 meals of solids most days. He generally has oatmeal cereal and a fruit for breakfast, veggies and fruit for lunch and again for dinner. he is a GOOD eater and LOVES to mash things in his mouth.
- Can finally pick up puffs or yogurt melts from his tray and successfully get them into his mouth! yay! now we can try self feeding with some other little pieces of food!
