What's more noticeable than his size is how social he is becoming. While he is still a Mama's boy, he is delighted to be a little brother and grins from ear-to-ear at the sight of his brother and sister. His other favorite activity is hanging onto Daddy's beard. It's funny, but when he cries it sounds just like he's saying Mama.
Speaking of being social, we've discovered two of Cooper's favorite things- music and reading. He bounces along and gets so excited when Ceirnan sings to him or plays the kiddie CD player. CJ found Cooper's favorite book, Global Babies. Cooper coos to the babies in the book and waves his arms. He'll sit through it several time and it really soothes him when he gets upset.
Cooper is doing a great job holding up his head and has a ton of strength in his legs. When he's mad he'll stand straight up on our laps and howl. He's rolling onto his side when on the ground and will spin himself in a circle on his play mat during tummy time.
We can tell that despite being the smallest, this kid will have no problem expressing his opinion. He cries a bit more than the other two did especially when Mama's not around. Of course, that's because he clearly thinks all pacifiers are pointless and will begrudgingly use one for a few minutes at a time if he is given one. Within about three minutes, he spits it out with a look that clearly let's you know the paci isn't going to cut it with him.
Cooper has been such a blessing to our family. It's hard to believe he hasn't always been with us. Of course, the transition from 2 to 3 has been a bit challenging, but we wouldn't change it for the world.
