Cooper - 17 weeks

A recap of Cooper's 17th week...

Cooper decided to get his sleeping back on track this week.  We even had one night this week that had him sleeping from about 9pm to 8am with just one feeding and one rocking needed that night to get him back to sleep.  Even Chase slept in until nearly 8am that day.  It was very much appreciated by me!

Cooper has gotten very strong and can how fully support his head, stand assisted, sit up assisted, and during tummy time he can now rest on his elbows.  We created a little game where we play "momma skiing" and I hold his hands and let him stand on the bed and we ski from side to side.  Then I blow in his face to let him feel the "wind".  He thinks it's pretty fun!

I'm totally going to jinx this, but his spitting up has been slowing down.  We still need a ton of burp cloths during the day, but we don't need to wash our entire lot every single day anymore (just every other day!).

Coop is a talker.  Sometimes it sounds like he's upset, but instead he's just loudly saying Aaaaaggghhhhhh and Uuuuugggghhhh over and over again.  Between Chase discovering his outside voice and Cooper exercising his voice, our house is rarely quiet anymore outside of bedtime!
