Cooper's week in review

Cooper had himself an extremely busy week plus. He took trips out to Concord to visit Grammy and Kimi, the mall to buy some fancy new clothes, his aunt and uncle's house to play with his cousins, and in between bebopping all over town he entertained friends in our apartment. I have to say that he is feeling very comfortable in his surroundings. Cooper could win an award in the baby category for day time sleeping. However, nighttime is a completely different story. We've found cooper to be a big eater. He takes after his dad in his desire to be a competitive eater. Little Kobayashi enjoys all his beverages during the day light hours. But, when the sun goes down watch out for your fingers and cover your ears when he is hungry (which is every hour). One would think he wears a Swatch and could teach other neighborhood babies how to tell time. When 60 minutes have passed he is not at all shy to report his hunger.

Other new developments besides his thirst to eat:

• Cooper is learning to self-soothe. He has sucked his thumb on a few different occasions. His advanced dexterity has not come with out penalty. Check out the photo of his thumb sucking form.
• He is becoming more acquainted with his fingers, hands, and legs. He's managed to squirm his way out of much of his clothing.
• Peeing. During Cooper's first few days many people had asked us if we'd been peed on yet during a diaper change. Happily (and proudly) we were able to say no. That has all changed. I'm thinking about creating a new post just to report on all the places he has peed that do not included his diaper. But for now we will list here:

- On Aimee's shirt while at the doctor
- All over Grammy's carpet
- His portable changing pad
- The window curtains in his corner
- Himself, Aimee, and the boppy during a midnight feeding (this one is most impressive because he was wearing a diaper at the time)
