Chatty Cathy
Cooper loves to sing and talk up a storm. It is so much fun to listen to him. He seems most talkative in the car right before he falls asleep or on the changing table at night. When he isn’t too busy talking, he loves to put his naked toes in his mouth on the changing…

Super Happy Cooper
Cooper must know that the next 5 days we will all be home together and celebrating Christmas soon, as he has been extra smiley. Cooper is getting better and better at sitting up on his own. To play it safe we usually put a boppy pillow around him in case he falls backward, but most…
