Cooper's check up went well. His latest stats are:

Weight: 8.03 kgs (8030 g) (17.7 lbs) - 75th percentile
Length: 67 cm - 75th percentile
Head: 43.5 cm - 50th percentile

The MCHN said Cooper is exceeding all his milestones so well. She said he seems very strong and alert. She explained his crying and funny moods as him just becoming aware of strangers. I have noticed lately that he will cry when I leave the room. She gave me an information brochure for 6-9 months and it has a bit about babies this age being wary of strangers and also crying when the mother is out of sight even for a short period.

Cooper cried at the MCHN when she tried to measure him. He screamed the place down. Afterwards when he was sitting on my lap, he was smiling and blowing raspberries at her!!!

Also, I have been practising sitting Cooper up. Today he sat on his own on the floor for about 10 seconds or so! Enough time for me to take a photo.

kmh – Do you have a Photobucket account? I just upload photos to that and then post the URL link.

Poor Charlotte. I hope she'll be okay. Poor little bub. I hope her temp has gone down.

Mads – Sounds like Freya is such a happy and fun baby! I hope you all have a nice time away and have a wonderful Christmas.
