Hi all

Cooper's learnt a few new things lately:

 he can climb stairs
 he can do "high five" (slap hands)
 he can say "ta"
 he can say "****-a-doodle-do" but it sounds like "****-a-doo" or something!
 he can drink from a straw

Lately he has been doing something new every day. A lot is happening!

Cooper's going well with finger foods. He mostly prefers this to food on a spoon. He had his first sandwich yesterday! So cute.

Sleeping is still bad. I think it's been on and off bad for nearly 2 months now? I'll have to read back over my diary. I really don't understand why some days he can self-settle and other days he can't. I don't do anything differently. Unless on the good days I am just getting Cooper to bed at the exact right time (tired signs etc). Who knows. And at night it's bad too. The other night he woke up 4 times. I try to re-settle but it doesn't always work. It's just easier to BF him.

kmh – Glad to hear Charlotte has gained weight and is starting to eat a little bit better. How is her crawling going?

Hope you have a lovely couple of nights away.

Dustmite – I bet Corban is getting all around the place by now! That video is hilarious! What faces he was pulling. Hehehe.

How's the hunt for somewhere new to move to?

carlys – Cooper also climbs onto Mark and then onto the couch. Scary huh!? LOL

Hope your morning sickness eases up soon.

Mads – I would be a bit nervous if we just had tiles too. I actually hate our carpet and want tiles… but I can see how carpet is good for bubs learning to walk.

Happy birthday! Hope you had a great day.

Fraser – Great pics of Charlie. He's a gorgeous little man.

All the best for your appointment at the Parenting Centre. We're also having sleep issues over here.
