Cooper Thomas: Five Months






I wish I could say I have it all figured out now that Cooper is 5 months old but yeah, no! He does seem to be a little better scheduled with napping so that's nice, but unfortunately still wakes up multiple times at night. He's fallen back asleep a few times, but generally I go in to get him because I don't want the monster toddler waking up! And lately I've noticed he doesn't eat very much when I do go in, so now it's trying to figure out how to settle him back to sleep because he doesn't like the pacifier. He is now a tummy sleeper since learning to roll over this past month and just like his brother will instantly turn over as soon as you lay him down. Also just like his brother he is ALL OVER his crib! And it's not just the crib. You lay him down on his mat or a blanket and less than 2 min he can be halfway across the room! You can't leave him sitting in his bouncer chair because he either turns over in it or pushes himself backwards out of it. But he does LOVE the jumperoo! He also loves toys and will always pull down the toy on his carseat. He is working on moving toys from hand to hand, but he knows how to grasp...especially mom's hair! He also likes to reach out and grab your face when you're holding him. Silly boy! Despite being small, he is pushing out of 6 month onesies, 6 month pants still fit fine. We started on rice cereal but he is way more interested in the spoon and not so much a fan of the cereal! He loves splashing in the bathtub and has even had a couple splash battles with his brother! He's becoming mommy's running partner and likes being in the stroller or walking around in the carrier. Overall he is such a happy guy who loves giving you smiles and giggles! We love you Cooper!
