Interaction

I find it so exciting to watch Cooper develop and change.  He is gradually becoming more and more coordinated and interactive, from the way he plays with his toys to the excitement he shows at seeing his own reflection in the mirror.

Cooper's favourite 'word' of late is a long g sound with a bit of a gurgle at the back of his throat.  I practiced a bit and today made the noise back to him.  His response was so cute!  He immediately recognised the 'word' as one that he could say, his eyes lit up, and he repeated it back to me each time I said it!  So awesome to see that he is gaining more control over his vocal cords and I look forward to him being able to repeat back other sounds and real words.

The other big development tonight was when we were reading a bedtime story.  I was lifting the page of the board book slightly as I neared the end of each page.  Suddenly, he grabbed the page and flipped it over!!  So at the end of the next page, I held it up slightly and waited, and sure enough, he did it again!!  He turned 5 pages in a row before he lost interest in the book and started sooking for milk.  I was SO excited!  We'll have to try again tomorrow :)
