Cooper is growing by leaps and bounds!! (I'm not real sure what that saying means!!LOL) Since our last post, Cooper has gained some weight, tried new foods, dropped medications, and even dropped his oxygen requirements!!
Cooper now weighs 12 lbs 6 oz! He is over 8 months old and is 24 inches long! We are so in love with this precious angel!! He is such a happy baby! He is very well behaved and likes to watch everyone and everything! He is quite the little observer! He has even started laughing out loud!!
He is still on oxygen 24 hours a day but is on .3 liters (down from .5 earlier this year and .8 from NICU). He is still on the monitors which help us know how he is doing.
He loves solid food!! His favorite vegetable is green beans! We start a new one every week. He has tried green beans, carrots, squash, sweet potatoes, sweet peas, apple sauce, and we are starting pears this week! Of course I have pictures of each of these!! The poor thing has 6 FULL photo albums and he is just over 8 months old!
He is doing great with his therapy. Tennessee Early Intervention has a teacher, Ms. Sandy, that comes out once a week to help with things like tummy time, reaching for objects, and rolling over. Cooper HATES tummy time and now rolls over every time he is on his tummy! It is so cute! Unfortunately he is quite content on his back, so no rolling over from back to tummy...YET!! Ms. Sandy has given me so many ideas and pointers to keep Cooper on track. It is so wonderful having her here to help! She just loves Cooper and he loves her too!!
It has been a crazy few months! I LOVE every minute of being a mommy!!
He is adorable! Can't wait to see you all tomorrow.
