Boy is Cooper on the move!! He has, of course, been scooching for ages. Has also been rolling around like mad for a little while now. Gotta be careful where I leave him now!
His latest achievement is sitting. Of course, he isn't particularly steady yet, but is improving dramatically each day. He is so excited and happy with himself! For a while now, he has liked me to sit him up and help support him so that he can play with his toys while sitting, and he is just so pleased to be able to do it with less intervention from me.
Sometimes I'm not quick enough to catch him when he topples, and he occassionally seems to hit the floor fairly hard, but he appears not to be bothered by it. He simply lies there, lifting his head, straining to be able to sit up again.... got a long way to go before he is strong enough for that, however.
He is also showing signs of trying to crawl. He has been tucking his knees up under himself for a while, but not actually doing anything with them, and certainly not lifting his upper body at the same time. Last night, though, he was on his tummy, reaching for a toy out in front of him. He tucked his knees up, then propelled himself forward! Obviously still has a way to go, but with the rate that he is developing, I'm hoping it won't be too long before he is up and crawling!
*Another disclaimer: don't bother saying "Oh, don't wish him crawling, b/c babies are so much easier when they can't get around" or similar, because I disagree. The more mobile and active Cooper gets, the happier he is and the more fun I have with him. Babies are cute, but, to be honest, I find them a little boring. I am getting so much happier now as he gets into things more, and have stopped talking about wanting to go back to work or pestering Jason to have another baby. :)
You're entertained. He's a good son. :)
ReplyDeleteHe's on the ball hey? I find it amazing how they learn not to hit their head, MOST of the time. Babies are so clever. Why aren't adults the same? lol!!
