Cooper turned 4 months old on Tuesday and went for his well-baby checkup today. He is in fact a well baby per Dr. Long and is growing like a weed. He weighs 16 pounds, 10 ounces (80th percentile) and is 26.50 inches long (91st percentile). His head circumference is also right on track. He even showed off for Dr. Long and rolled from his stomach to his back three times while on the examining table. I assume this is the first time he's done that, although who knows what Miss Lynne gets him to do at daycare.
We go back at 6 months for more shots! Dr. Long wants us to start rice cereal and in two weeks start Stage 1 fruits. We are going with prunes first in hopes of helping him with his constipation issue. Many exciting changes on the horizon!!!!
Tomorrow Cooper is getting his Easter picture made at our photographer's and then Sunday is his first Easter!!! I know he is going to look so handsome in his new bubble. After church we are meeting Nick and Meg for breakfast and then having dinner at Nanny and Pop Pop's and celebrating not only Easter but the April birthdays (Crystal, Grayson and me)!
Easter pics coming soon...
At four months Cooper...
... is grabbing at and playing with anything he can get his hands on.
... still loves pulling Mommy's hair.
... is babbling all the time, especially when he wakes up.
... is still pretty constipated on a regular basis (poor thing).
... rolls all over the place.
... laughs hysterically when Christopher makes him dance.
... ends up at the other end of his crib by morning.
... loves to lay in his tub (sans water) and watch Mommy make dinner.
... is still the best thing that ever happened to us.
Happy Easter little man. Can't wait to see what the Easter Bunny brings you.

Hmmm. Ansley what do they think is the issue with the constipation??? Sydney struggled with that when she didn't drink enough and with her food allergies. Can't help it, it's the nurse in me. Lots of times it's an intolerance to the milk or formula he's getting. Like an allergy to it or something. Hope u don't mind me being nosey. Hope u had a Happy Easter. Had so much fun with Sydney this year! your gonna love it with Cooper next year too I'm sure!
