Cooper - 8 Months Old

Cooper - At 8 months old:

• You are in size 4 diapers.
• You are in 12 month size clothes (some 18 months - it depends on what it is).
• You have your two bottom and two top teeth now!
• You are suddenly into "finger foods." I've tried them a few times before but you never showed interest. Now, all you want to do is feed yourself puffs, yogurt bites, cheese puffs, etc.
• You still love veggies but really don't care much for fruits or fruit juice. You will eat them but veggies are definitely your favorite.
• You still love outside and you are so happy when we are strolling you around the block or just sitting in the swing. I think that you would live outside if you could!
• You still don't crawl. Instead, you want to pull up on the couch or a table and walk back and forth holding on. I don't think that you will ever crawl! I think that you will go from sitting to walking! Sometimes, you will roll across the room to get something that you want. It's too funny! ;)
• You have such a great personality and you are always happy and smiling!
• When you see something that you like or that you think is funny, you will look at it and then look at me with your head tilted and smile. It is SO cute and it just melts my heart when you do this!
• Besides saying "hi" and "bye bye", which you have been doing for a while, you recently started saying "da da", which makes your Daddy so happy! I'm still waiting for you to say "ma ma." Everyone tells me that "da da" is easier for little ones to say, so I'm chalking it up to that! :) You have also started linking these words together like "Da Bye Bye" and "Baby Bye Bye."
• You have recently started throwing your hand up to wave hello. We are still working on getting you to blow kisses!
• When I ask you for "sugar" you will lean in to give me a kiss. Right now, this is just something that you do for your Mama and it makes my heart melt!
