Cooper has graduated to a whole new realm of fun sounds. He now laughs out loud, giggles, and says a whole bunch of consonant and vowel sounds. One of the most fun things is that when he is being chatty, if you prompt him, i.e. "Cooper will you say Goo? Goo... Gooo... Goo... Do you want to say Goo for momma?" then at least 50% of the time he'll put in some kind of good try. Maybe he'll say Ooo or Coo instead, but it is certainly in response to my or Matt's efforts. His real "talking" sounds are very quiet and shy in comparison to his laughs and screams, which is very funny and rather interesting. You practically have to strain your ears to hear some of his newer experimental sounds, like his hard "C" (like 'Kuh').
We ran into a very nice family that we met at birthing class last winter and their baby is very cute (although their 2 1/2 year old was cuter and extremely funny, I have to admit). It was fun to chat about our experiences, briefly, and see how they are doing after having kid #2. They had a very scary, unhappy (although in the end, perfectly healthy) birth with their first child in the hospital, so I was really psyched to hear that the birth of their second went so well at the birth center.
In a testament to the "Moby Wrap," the mom confessed that she owns 6 different infant carrying devices... slings, wraps, more conventional "baby byorn" type things, etc. And what was she wearing her four month old little boy in? The Moby wrap, in cherry red.
We love our Moby wrap too. It might be slightly a pain to get it on just right, but good lord does it work nicely once that baby is in there! Totally worth it.

I thought that I was dome with the Moby due to E's squirminess, but I pulled it out the other day when she needed some snuggles. She won't stay in it long, but it is good for when she's oonchy about being held.
We're going to try the hike hold for walking about; I'm looking forward to it!
