Hi all

Everything is going okay here. Every night is different with Cooper. Yesterday he slept straight through until 5.40 am. This morning he only made it to 4.30 am (quite common these days) but then he would not go back to sleep!

He's down for his first nap of the day now – went down at 7.30 am! He might end up having 3 naps today now. Who knows. Big nap though - nearly 2 hours now.

Otherwise he's just great. Eating is okaaaaay. Could be better! He gets a bit cranky at dinner time and won't eat properly but as soon as I offer him fruit and yoghurt he just scoffs it down. Breakfast seems to be the easiest meal of the day.

He's also breastfeeding normally again – taking both sides and not pulling off at let-down. Thank goodness! It was getting messy!

He's standing up on everything now. He doesn't even need anything to grab onto (ie he can stand up at a glass door). We were at a friend's house yesterday and he actually climbed over this big toy truck! Then he tried to get his leg up onto a seat! He's going to be very mischievous I think.

Check out these vids of him "walking"!

baiza – Hey there! Sounds like your business is booming! Congrats.

kmh – Wow first tooth and clapping hands! What a big day. I think it's adorable when they clap hands.

Mads – OMG that video is just TOOOOOOOO cute! What a cute wave and how clever say hello. I can't get over it! Cooper learned how to wave ages ago but only did it a few times. We're trying to re-teach him. As for saying "hello" – woweeee!!! Cooper babbles a lot but doesn't really say any clear words. You should definitely put it on You Tube!

I love the photo in your ticker. Just beautiful!

Fraser – Is Charlie still waking a lot in the night? He's looking like such a little man in your ticker.

carlys – Hope you worked hard at the gym!
