Good Times with The Gray's

Cooper at 1o months you are 30 inches tall and 23lbs. 11 oz. Daddy had to take you to the Dr. because you have been sick with an upper respiratory infection and another ear infection so they gave us your stats. You are very tall and your weight is proportionate to your height. You are still one healthy little guy and for that we are very thankful!

You are sleeping pretty darn well! We put you down at 8:30 and you usually wake up one time during the night, only to get a drink and go back to sleep! I am hoping that you sleep like this or even all night when we move to our new house!

You are still on formula and take a bottle 2-3 times a day. You have several different sippy cups that you like, but in the next couple months we are going to really encourage them instead of a bottle, so that maybe we can ween you around your first birthday. You are not a huge fan of baby food, you much rather prefer the real stuff, so we don't push it. You eat mashed up table food and of course the Gerber Graduate snacks! You really like water and you enjoy apple juice too!

You now have 4 teeth! Your top two front teeth have finally poked through and you look so cute when you show us your pearly whites!

You are the happiest baby boy I have ever seen and a little nosey too, I admit you come by that honestly! We cannot go somewhere without you trying to get the attention of the person in front of, behind or beside us. You cock your little head to the side and give off the BIGGEST grin! Everyone compliments you on your beautiful blue eyes and your sweet demeanor!

You are still not saying dadada or mamama repeatedly. We may hear it here and there but it is not consistent. That being said you are a babbler. I love turning the radio down in the car and just listening to you "talk"!

You are such a fast crawler and you pull up on just about everything! You love to stand up and walk between furniture. You are not walking just yet. You can stand on your own, but then fall down when no one or nothing is there for you to hold on to. We have seen you take a step and are sure you will be walking in the next month or two. No hurry, however I think it will be easier to chase a walking you rather than a crawling you. Atleast I will be able to put you down more places, and walk alongside you.

You have now begun to "dance" when you hear music. You bounce up and down and the look on your face is so serious as if you are really concentrating on your dance moves. Ha!

You absolutely LOVE staying with Natalie and Annette! Every morning that Annette picks you up or I drop you off with Nat, you just smile and head for their arms! It makes leaving you so much easier knowing that you are truly loved! You also love your cousin Hadley! He is with you 4 out of 5 days a week and you two play so well together. He takes care of his lil cuz and is so careful with you. He has also taught you to have some patience, I said some, you realize that when you are with him that you are not the only child. This will help tremendously when you have a lil brother or sister, not in the near future, just to clarify!

You are a little lover! Lately you have been laying your head down on our shoulders and we say awwww, and you just snug and smile. It melts my heart, let me tell you! I love my 'lil mama's boy!

I thank my lucky stars that you are my son! I can't even begin to describe how deep my love is for you, it grows each day! Thank you for making me a mommy! I love you Cooper Jackson!
