Tonight is going to be a short entry...I have to finish performance reviews for work. This the first and hopefully the last time I ever bring work home with me.
Cooper has always been fiercely independent. When he was first born he refused to let me direct his head in order to get him to latch. Unfortunately this was a bit of an issue since he didn't have any head control. He would sort of let me help as long as I let him believe he did it all on his own.
After a few months and he had head control he refused he even the slightest bit of help from me. Now I can't even get him to stay eating if wants to do something else. With his razor sharp teeth I don't even bother trying to force him to do something he doesn't want to do.
When we tried to give him cereal, he had to hold the spoon. When he decided he didn't like the spoon, we had to try to feed him bits of food. Now he doesn't want us to actually feed him, but he gets upset because he hasn't mastered putting the food in his mouth. At least now he will let us use the spoon, as long as he can help. His latest thing is to fling his head back if he wants out of our arms. It's a little scary because it makes for a very strong, wiggly baby!
Cooper is also starting to hold his own with Charlotte. When she hits him, he pulls her hair. When she steals a toy, he knocks her over and takes it back. When she bites his toes, he kicks her in the face. Yeah, they are getting a little mean.
He follows her everywhere and is getting close to keeping up. Today both of them wormed their way over to greet me when I came home. Now that she is pulling up...Cooper is right behind her:
I think our lives are about to become crazier than they already are!

I can't believe our kids are all getting so big (imagine what our moms say LOL) I so hear ya on the crazy part!! Gunner is pulling himself up on stuff too, not quite the mastery as Charlotte & Cooper, but enough to where we'll be needing to put the crib matress down some.
