6 MONTHS!!!!!


I cannot believe that Cooper is 6 months old already!!  Time sure does fly when you are having fun.... It also helps that he is such an easy going little guy (must get that from Andy!).  Here's a little about how his checkup went:
Length: 24 in
Weight:  11.7 lbs
Head circumference: 17 in
He has a big head compared to the rest of his stats... all under 5% percentile and his head is in the 25% percentile! Let's just hope he uses those brains! He started on solids...yummyyummy peas (bleck)! Oh how he HATES them! The specialist threatened us that if Cooper didn't gain more weight, he would send him in to be tested for "diseases"  I don't think we will be going to him anymore, I just don't feel comfortable with him, and then to threaten us like that... peace out dude!!!  However, his pediatrician did say that Cooper is very small and he did need to gain weight.  I heard somewhere that babies are supposed to triple their birth weight by their first birthday.  Well, Cooper is on the right track if that is correct.  I am not very worried.  Andy and I were both on the smaller side as babies, and Cooper seems to be progressing the way he should be just fine (knock on wood)! He's rolling around, touching everything, and sticking everything he can fit into his mouth... can't wait for the crawling (maybe then I will finally get some exercise!) He's such a good boy!
