Greene Family Weekend

Spent last weekend down in Ogunquit with Cooper's aunts, uncles, and cousins.  Besides his refusal to sleep one night he had a blast.

Newest developments:

- Down to 1 afternoon nap
- Figured out he can pull himself up on top of the coffee table

Happy November

What's new in Cooper's world?  This past month's been a big one for him. He's now practically running throughout the house.  We need to confine him to small spaces or risk him turning the place upside down. 

Here's a list of Cooper's newest developments:

Diet:
 No more gross formula.  Fingers crossed, but so far it seems as if Cooper has out grown his baby reflux and food intolerances.  He's now eating everything.  Whole milk, goldfish, cheese, mac and cheese, and all regular, normal people/baby food.  His favorites snacks lately are Pirates Booty, graham crackers, and humus and crackers. 

Sleeping:
Ferberized!  After the Doc said that his reflux isn't a factor in his inability to sleep through the night we immediately began sleep training. Take 2. This time we WON!  It was two terrible nights of constant wake ups or sleeplessness for Aimee.  I somehow found his incessant screaming helped me to sleep.  


Talking:
Not quite. He does have some recognizable babbles. Aimee's pretty sure he says mommy and daddy.  I don't hear it.  

More - mum, mum, mum - occasionally he will use his baby sign language.  The kid loves to eat so naturally he can communicate that he wants more food by speaking and signing. 

Lights on - He's fascinated by light. He will point say "uh, uh"

No more/ all done - Waving his hands in the air and usually followed by throwing any food that he can get his hands on.

Duck - "da, da" followed by full body wiggles and screeching.  

He knows his buddy's name at daycare.  His friend's name is Oden.  Cooper will say "Oh,Oh" when we tell him he's going to see him at school

Actions:
Pointing - points at everything
Loves opening and closing all cabinets and drawers.  Will empty any cabinet that he can get into.
Turning cable box on and off
Hiding his magnetic letters inside the refrigerator and freezer
Little, tiny temper tantrums - throwing food on the floor, throwing himself on the floor, buckling his knees and refusal to walk - I wonder where is temper comes from??
