Cooper hits 7 months

...........................
And he loves NY (thanks to Laura)

..
He's a charmer and a flirt. He flashes his gummy smile and gives a lot of eye contact. He is also the squeaky wheel - he learned to scream for attention. (And it's usually warranted: "I'm stuck under a chair and NOBODY's helping me" or "I've been sitting in my high chair for TOO LONG without FOOD!") Cooper's a mover - granted I'm writing this 7 month entry a little late...but he'll be crawling before 8 months. He gets around by pushing himself up to sitting then rolls around to the floor and pushes himself up again - it's not a very precise method and he often gets stuck in a corner or under something. He give those legs a workout when he's happy or excited. (When we were looking at a model train exhibit his little legs went crazy every time the train drove by. Too cute.) THIS BOY IS ULTRA TICKLISH. And as cute as he is, he is a HORRIBLE sleeper...I don't even want to talk about it.

At 20 lbs...he's our skinniest baby! Here's the competition:

Yes, I've seen him stuck under a chair or in a corner -- such a little mover! He's a darling!
