My little man

You are really growing up. You were 4 months as of the 16th.









And...Yesterday I was on the phone with your Daddy and I leaned over to you and said, "Hiiiii Cooper." You looked at me and gave me a very pronounced and distinctive "HI"!! I was SO excited! I was like, "did you hear that? Did you hear that?" and Daddy was just laughing and said that yes indeed he did hear that. You are growing up so fast. Was that really you're first word? WOW!!

This summer

sure has been fun so far. The growth that you are doing is amazing!! You went to the waterslides for the first time on the 29th of July. At first you were fine then daddy went down the kiddie slide with you and I guess it was a little too fast for your liking and you started to scream at the end. Then once it was over you were fine. So Daddy thought he would try again. He walked to the top of the slide and you figured out where you were right quick and just started SCREAMING. So that was enough of that for the day.
You have gone in your first outdoor pool in a floaty too. You didn't mind it at all. Then we took you out to Cultus Lake and you liked that one. You really are my water baby.
You have taken to grabbing things. If we hold something over you we will watch you smile then reach for it. You will grab it and bring it to your mouth and then promptly through it back down.
We have gone on a few family hikes and every evening we go for a walk. The three of us together. You are wide eyed and looking around. You and I go for a walk in the mornings too.
You sleep pretty darn well through the night. Feeding is going well too. I can't believe the smiles you give us and the laughs that are developing a little more with each passing day.
We really love you little man. Continue to amaze us, as I know you will.

you're so cute!!
