Adventures At Seay

 The Easter bunny came to our house! We had such a great first easter with Cooper. Nothing to exciting but just a really nice day! We made it to church on time...barely (even though we had like 4 hours to get ready).

Cooper has been quite the addition to meals lately...He insists on being included in every bite that is taken! He is too interested in what's going on during the meal to just sit in his car seat anymore, but he was just too unsteady to hang out in a highchair. So for about a month now mommy has been holding (more like wrangling) Cooper during every meal and having to eat with one hand. Well, this had to stop. Mommy decided that since Cooper is so close to sitting up by himself that we could try the highchair!

Now that big man has figured this rolling thing out, we are in for it! He is all over the floor and makes it to the end of his ABC mat in no time. He loves to do it while you are looking the other way! Sneaky boy! He has found that he can get to things this way and has already started trying to scoot his way on his belly. I guarantee that if you check the blog in a month, he will be crawling! I'm never gonna catch this little bug!

Last Friday the weather was on the verge of heavenly! The sun was shining and the temperature was a glorious 70 degrees! We were invited to go to the Nashville Zoo with our best buddy baby Claire! Claire's momma has a membership and they love to go play when the weather's nice! So we loaded up the strollers and sun hats and hit the road (I say hit the road..it's like a 10 minute drive).
The entire city of Nashville apparently had the same idea though. The place was packed!!!! We managed to get in pretty quickly and made our way to the picnic area. The food at the zoo is surprisingly really good, however pretty pricey. Cooper has recently discovered that even though he has never tasted the food you have, he wants it...bad. So mommy had to sneak her burger and fries but let Cooper play with her cup. After lunch in the big grassy field we headed out to make the rounds! The stampede of strollers proved to be just too much and we didn't really see a whole lot. But Cooper had so much fun being pushed around like a big kid in the stroller and loved watching everyone walk by (there were a lot of people to watch). We will definitely have to go back soon! Especially when Cooper can actually enjoy looking at the animals!

Cooper is! We are just growing too fast! Mommy can't believe her eyes! It's been going to fast all along, but this month especially, it's like Cooper is a new baby every day! Cooper is so happy all of the time (good naps are a must though), learning new things, and just an awesome baby! There were rumors that Cooper had rolled over from his back to his stomach, but mommy hadn't seen it (and didn't believe daddy). However, just a a few days shy of 5 months old Cooper finally decided to share his new trick with mommy! It is so cool to watch Coop figure out how to do these huge things all by himself. It's just hard to believe that he's going to learn how to crawl  and sit up by himself soon, but I know he will.

Happy St. Paddy's Day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We have started eating rice cereal this week! Mommy cannot believe how fast this whole childhood thing is going by! Cereal already? I told her to chill out...we got a ways to go before I'm moving out and going off to college or anything (like maybe in a few months). But the cereal is going over pretty well..only once a day right now, and in the morning (at night it upsets my tummy and NOBODY sleeps).
Hopefully in a few weeks we'll be able to add in some fruit and veggies..this rice crap is pretty tasteless.
Keep checking for more food updates! Oh yeah and mom forgot to post my 4 month stats! I'm 25 in long and 14 lbs 8 ozs. I'm sure the solids will help skinny me pack on the pounds...haha!
