Cooper is 5 months old......
.....already!
Ok, so I never got the rolling over on video! I did gets lots of the "almost rolling" in the previous weeks, but no actual rolling!
Cooper is the PERFECT...capital P, baby EVER! EVER, I tell you! I have two others of my own and have been around TONS so I can honestly say this! He smiles, coos, laughs (belly laughs), observes, points, grabs, and pulls on toys and clothes. Did you notice I didn't say CRY!!! I mean it....he rarely cries. If he is crying, something is wrong. He is either hungry, completely soaking wet, or one of his brothers hit him in the head with something :)!
He is the funniest little guy. He will grab anything that is near him and pull it straight to his face! Tonight, he grabbed the bag of wipes and tried to eat it. Cohen just laughed and laughed! He splashes in the tub like a wild man! He thinks it is so funny. I am wetter than he is when we are done.
After bath time, he can' wait for his massage. He just looks at me with those gorgeous, full lips and then rolls his big, brown eyes up to the ceiling like he is in pure bliss!!! MMMMMM......that baby is delicious!!!!!
He LOVES his brothers. He thinks they are the funniest guys around! He will watch them as they play and when one pops over to say hello, he shrills with laughter! Precious! I love watching their bond grow stronger each day!
He loves solids! We started a few weeks ago and he has had rice, oatmeal., bananas, apples, pears, sweet potatoes, and squash. He favorite so far is squash...which is kind of weird! He still loves to nurse and often times refuses a bottle. It is kind of annoying for the person holding the bottle, but I love that I am still breastfeeding and it is soooo easy now!!!!
I think I see a tooth right under the gums. This is very weird to me since the other boy were over a year old when they got their first tooth. (Evan still only has a few!) I am not sure if the tooth will pop up soon or not! We shall see!
5 months has flown by! Can't wait to see what we have in store!!

Yay!!
He is a roller!! Yay! He finally rolled over! The boys and I were so excited tonight when Cooper decided to finally roll over! He has been working in it for weeks now! WEEKS! He has been kicking and kicking that leg and just couldn't get all the way over! He did it tonight!
I put him down on his back to pick out all the boys clothes for tomorrow and when I turned back around....poof! He was on his belly justa' smilin'!!! We clapped and cheered and Cohen told him he would give him 10 skittles for that when he got old enough!!!
As excited as I was.....I couldn't believe I missed the big event! I have been watching and waiting so long!!!! We all gathered on the floor in a circle for our night time story us on our bellies and Coop on his back again. Then, then , then....he did it again and we all saw this time!! YAY, COOP!!! We cheered again and gave lots of kisses and hugs and he just smiled even bigger!
I wonder what he will do next??

Update!
Been too long, huh? I don't actually know what has taken me so long to post! Hmm....maybe, Thanksgiving or Christmas or the New Year or going back to work??? Anyway, as always we have been busy around here! The boys are doing great! We are actually getting into a nice routine! It is nice to know we have a set bedtime again! Cooper lays down at around 8:0 right along with the "big boys" and I can FINALLY get some things done around this house! I wonder if it will ever be clean again??? I. HOPE. SO!!!! For now, I will just try to enjoy a crowded, messy, house with lots of love rather than an clean house that is too quiet and empty!!
Cooper is 4 months old already! He is trying to sit up and strains to pull his head and chest up when he is in his bouncy seat. He also trys to pull himself to sit up in the bathtub. He did once and his face went under the water. JUST. A. LITTLE. Ok--it was more than just a little, but I saved him okay???? Don't judge......he is the 3rd child you know??
He also REALLY wants to roll over. He can get halfway over--minus his one little shoulder. It is so funny. He kicks and kicks his leg trying to get over and just can't make it yet. I think it will be soon. I think it is because he is so fat (Shh..don' tell Cohen I called Cooper "fat". It is the new naughty word for the day--You see...Cohen has been calling a little girl in his class fat and we had to have a "THE TALK" about what you can and can't say out loud!)
Anyway, Cooper can't get over quite far enough due to the "chubbiness of his stature"! He is 95% still for his weight--18 lbs, 13 ozs, and 80% for height. I can't remember the exact measurement for that--again...3rd baby you know!
He recently started rice and he LOVES LOVES LOVES it. He has also had apples and bananas. With the other boys, I had to shove the food in for the first few months or so until they got the hang of it. Cooper opens his little mouth and practically leaps onto to the spoon! He is hungry! He has to keep up that chubbiness somehow! He loves bananas the best by the way.
He is finally sleeping more at night. He goes down at 8:00 and sleeps until 2ish and then back down until 6ish! THANK YOU GOD! I still could use a little more sleep, but I am thankful that I have more than 3 hours in a row at least!
Evan is still Evan. Definitely a middle child. He does ANYTHING to get attention (throw food, color on the wall, throw his cup, hit the baby in the head with the remote). You get the idea. He's a M.E.S.S!!! He is really beginning to talk well. He can clearly say nana, gaga, papa, dede, mama, mimi, dada, doggie, car, all done, tree, and oh no. He says Bubba too but only we can recogize it. It sounds more like "unkuba". Jeremy and I believe he speaks another language. He has conversations with us that he clearly understands and we do not! He is going to be our class clown! Boy is he funny!
Cohen is still his silly, smart, funny self. Stay tuned for more posts of his funnies.
Possible snow day tomorrow! Praying for snow!

He's 2 months old!
I am a little late in posting, but Cooper is 2 months old (on October 20th)! ALREADY! ALL. READY! I can't believe how time flies! He is the SWEETEST baby ever! He just smiles and coos all day. He laughed for the first time out loud last night and it was the sweetest sound ever. He laughed when I rubbed his cheek before bath time. I called Jeremy and Cohen in to hear him and they tickled his chubby little thighs and he laughed even harder! I LOVE LOVE LOVE him so much. I am still amazed everyday how I can love someone so much. I mean, I thought my heart would be full after loving Jeremy, Cohen and Evan. It is amazing how much love one heart can hold. God gave me the most perfect family. I never would have imagined I would have all these terrific boys, but it fits me FANTASTICALLY! Ok...sorry for the mushy stuff.
So far...laughing and cooing is all he does. Well, besides eat and sleep! Speaking of eating, he is a PIG! He eats all day. He weighs 15 lbs. That is ALOT for a 2 month old baby! He is 95% for weight (bigger than 95% of babies) and 85% for height! I can't wait to see if he is bigger than Cohen and Evan or if he balances out! He will take a bottle better now but does not like formula in it! He will take it, but he doesn't prefer it!
He is sleeping very well at night. He goes down at about 9:00 and sleeps to 4:00! I appreciate all the sleep but I wish he would move that 4:00am wake up call to 5:00 or later! I can't go back to sleep after feeding him and I am TIRED by night fall! I love our night cuddles though! He is precious and I love the uninterrupted snuggles we get to have at night!
My life is so complete!!!!
