Yum!

Wow! I can't believe Cooper is already 6 months old! He visited the doctor for his wellness check-up last week. I love learning his new weight, length, etc. and especially get a kick out of the percentiles! So when the nurse weighed him I promptly commented, "That is exactly what he weighed at his last appointment!". Then when she looked at me with a funny expression on her face, I figured I had said something I should not have. It turns out your baby is supposed to gain weight from their 4 month to 6 month check up. Who knew?! Cooper certainly didn't.

Cooper is healthy and all, but I have got to beef this kid up! So, solids are the new thing in our house. My mom came over and we made loads of baby food and stored them in freezer. We made carrots, peas, oatmeal, brown rice, sweet potatoes, strawberries, apples, and beans. Homemade baby food... yum, yum, yum. My mom knows how to do everything and she is super efficient, so it all happened really fast. Here is a look at my new eater:

Cooper loves eating pears out of this fancy netted contraption!

Who knew rice cereal could taste so good?!

Lean into it!
