April 2016


We had Aurora's birthday party at Great Play and the kids loved it. Matt loved it because they let him bring in beer and I loved it because they take care of the clean up. It was a win all around.



Connor and I started doing Letter of the Week together. He loves the puzzles and the magnets. This boy truly amazes me with how quick he is at visual/spatial tasks.



Aurora wrote her first book called "The Tulip Garden." Her teachers said they were having trouble getting her to do any representational drawing or writing her own stories so it was nice to finally see her show an interest.


Matt and I are finally getting to go on some real date nights! Now that Cooper is going to bed earlier I can put him down at home and then we can go to dinner alone together. It has been amazing.


Aurora's dinosaur notes


-- Cooper at 6 months --

We have started giving Cooper a few foods. He loves touting peppers but wouldn't touch the broccoli I gave him.

When he is in tummy time he has been trying to get up on all fours.


There is some hair starting to come in but it is super short and not very dark so it's hard to see so he still looks essentially bald.

Cooper is sitting up by himself! He is capable of sitting up unassisted but I think he gets bored and knows there is something to catch him so he flops over and lounges on the boppy.


We switched to 2 naps because Cooper was refusing his third nap and then wanting to go to sleep for the night at 4:30 or earlier. He was then ready to be up for the day at 4am. Yikes. His naps are now at 8:30 and 1pm and he is going to sleep around 5:45/6. We had a few days right at the beginning of the month that he was only waking up twice which was amazing but of course didn't last long and now we are back to lots of wake ups.
