5 Months Old!

On Saturday the 18th, Cooper celebrated 5 months of life! I can't hardly believe it. It's now Wednesday, the flu bug has his the Hillebrand household. I had it, the kids and Tom now has it and Cooper has a cold, so this is a little late. I guess better late than never huh??

The 3 pictures below in his Sons of Anarchy shirt were taken on Saturday up at the campgrounds, I forgot my little stickers. This shirt came from Micayla!


Don't he look like a biker dude?

And here he his, red cheeks and all, on Tuesday. He's getting so big and almost sitting up by himself.



A few things I want to remember about Cooper's 5 months of life are:

  • You are still in a size 1 diaper. We prefer Pampers but we are using up what we got while you were in Mommy's tummy. You are about 2 days away from going to a size 2
  • Clothes - holy cow kid, you're a growing boy. You barely got to wear 3 to 6 month clothing, we are now buying you 6 to 9 month and those are just fitting. 
  • You are still exclusively breastfed. Momma loves this but knows the time to start feeding you some food is just around the corner. You watch us eat our food and it breaks my heart because I know you want what we have. Daddy gives you bites here and there and you love it. You've tried pancakes and ice cream, that you love the best.
  • You are a rolling machine, if we take our eyes off you, you are in a completely different spot than where we put you down at. It's so funny, you'll get stuck under the swing and can't figure out how to get back. I think you only roll one way, I'm sure you'll figure it out soon.
  • You finally moved to your big bed and you've been sleeping great. You usually wake up once just so mommy comes in to check on you and give you your pacifier, then you wake up around 5:15 or so then you come into bed with momma to eat and fall back asleep until 7 then we get you up for school. 
  • You're always so happy to wake up and go to school. I hope it's always like this.
  • No teeth yet, but I think they're coming. You're a drooling, drooling baby. Everything goes into your mouth
  • Your bedtime is still around 8:00, you get fussy around 7:30 so we start to get you ready for bed around then.
  • Bath time is getting fun, you're really starting to like it but momma can't wait until you can sit up. You get a bath every other day. You were spoiled by your Grandma's the other day and they both helped give you a bath, more pics to come on that. You thought this was so much fun.
  • You love to talk! Momma will be getting ready in the morning and I'll hear you wake up and just start talking to yourself. This sure puts a smile on my face!
  • You love your brother and sister, every time they walk into the room, you put a big smile on your face, it's so sweet. And they love you too!
  • You and daddy love hanging out when you get home. You get to watch TV, usually the food network, no wonder you want to start eating food, daddy teases you all the time.  I'll come home and you'll both be on the floor on your bellies watching TV, it's the cutest thing.
  • You love being outside! If you're crabby we'll just take you outside to sit and cool off and you're good to go.
Cooper I just can't explain the joy you bring to my life. I love you so much and I still can't believe you're mine. I know its been 5 months but I'm still in shock that you're here. I love you so much and can't wait to see what the next month brings.

Here are few more of Cooper lying down on his blanket.
