HAPPY ONE MONTH!

Cooper is one month old today, no matter how you slice and dice it!

Yeah!

According to the baby literature, at one month Cooper is a high achiever in 4 out of 5 measures. He can lift his head to 90 degrees from level when on his belly, he can coo and also makes this funny sound that sounds like "meow," he smiles in response to being smiled at, and can hold his head steady and upright for short periods when he is held in a sitting or standing position.

The only thing he is not advanced at is hand coordination. He definitely cannot bring his hands together on purpose. He can intentionally work his hands out of a tight swaddle, but he isn't good at controlling them beyond that. So that means his hand control is merely average. That is OK by us.

To celebrate, Matt and I sang him a Happy Birthday song and ate waffles for breakfast. So Cooper had waffles, sort of.
