To Be or Not to Be

Cooper is becoming quite the little ball of activity lately. He really likes his Exersaucer now and totally wears himself out every time he is in it. He seems to make a different noise for each animal he plays with. He's still not sitting up on his own yet but with a little support he does just fine. This weekend we discovered that he can sit in a cart at the store. Up until then he'd always been in his carrier. Cooper has been practicing crawling. When he's on his belly he will get up on his hands and knees and rock back and forth. He hasn't really made any forward movement yet but he's really good at going backwards and around in circles. It's always interesting to see what direction he will be facing each morning.

Another first came last week when during one of the many rain storms we've had lately the tornado sirens went off. When we turned the TV to the news we found that a tornado touchdown had been reported on Lane Avenue which is not too far from where we live. So we all headed to the basement and waited for the all clear. Cooper didn't seem to mind. He just watched Floyd and laughed. He thinks Floyd is very funny.

Both grandmas came to visit Cooper this week. Grammie came on Monday and watched Cooper while Chris worked. He's been extra busy lately. She brought the high chair that she used when she was a little girl. Now Cooper is using it. He's almost done with the Stage 1 baby foods and will be moving on to Stage 2 this week. He's been eating a whole container of baby food and 4tbsps of rice cereal or oatmeal twice a day. Grandma and Grandpa came up on Saturday and took us to lunch and shopping at Easton. Between both grandmas Cooper has a pretty complete winter wardrobe. Grandma even got him a barn coat for winter that looks like his dads.

Grandma thinks Cooper may be gifted and after looking at the pictures I took this week I think she might be right. I think he has a brilliant future as an actor. Check out the range of emotion...
