Cooper is 5 months!


Our handsome little guy is 5 months old today and he finally rolled over just this afternoon! (Well, he rolled over last Sunday from front to back, but it was almost just because he got too high on his tummy, and then never did it again)
We have come to realize how much our parenting has changed from Malia until now. With her we were constantly trying to get her to do new things, and she did everything really early starting with rolling at 3 months and walking before 9 months.
With Cooper we are like, wait don't start to be mobile yet! Because we have learned how much harder it is when that happens, and we are just having so much fun with him right now. He is at a fun stage we think.
He really has loved tummy time for the most part, more than Malia or Gunner.

For the past few weeks this is how he has been content to stay. Just hanging out on his side.

And then today he started plopping those chunky thighs over.

And then about an hour later he started going from back to front. Malia and Gunner were so excited and thought it was the coolest thing. We keep telling them just wait, it won't be long until he is chasing them around! They grow up way too fast!

hey its mary, long time. YOur family is super cute. I am actually wondering if you can have you sister in law call me if she still wants an apartment. They are going fast all of a sudden and I can't reserve one for her until I talk to her about what she needs to do. I only have one apartment left.

Thanks!!!
