Coop continues to astound us! This morning he weighed in at a hefty 6 lbs 9 oz! (And then he promptly farted right in the nurse’s face.) He is taking most of his bottles, hasn’t needed his feeding tube for 4 days now, and he breastfeeds twice a day! And yesterday during tummy time, he ROLLED OVER!!! I know it sounds insane, but my mom, Mat, and I all witnessed it! He was wriggling around, he got over onto his side, and then he gave one big fart and flopped over onto his back. He was stunned. We were stunned! We flipped him back onto his belly and a few minutes later he did it again (without the wind propulsion this time).
Of course he hasn’t done it again since, and we weren’t able to capture it on video. We did take a couple of videos where he got close, though. You can see how strong he is as he lifts his legs up and swings his body around. And yells about it - apparently he’s the dude at the gym who grunts and yells so the whole place can hear him! (Also I know some people have had trouble viewing the videos so I tried uploading them to YouTube first and hopefully that method will work better.)
We also noticed yesterday that he dependably tracked a rattle with his eyes when we moved it from side to side, which is a more age appropriate and legit milestone for him. We have caught him a couple of times giving us what we think is a smile, but he could just be pooping. The jury’s still out on that one. đź’©
We also took Cooper for his first little hike yesterday! He is still under the weight minimum for the wearable baby carriers we have, so Mat tested our stroller’s off-roading capabilities.
And that’s the Coop Scoop!
Wonderful!!!
