This morning Cooper had his first helping of oatmeal cereal!
(We skipped rice and went straight for oatmeal.)
Although majority of it didn't stay in his mouth,
he always opened wide for the next bite.
He definitely seemed to love it!
Since he was nice and nasty after his first big boy breakfast, it was time for a bath.
An oatmeal bath, nonetheless. This is how he likes to recline in his tub.
(The water is murky because of the oatmeal stuff we put in it that is supposed to help the poor baby's terrible eczema... Thankfully he wasn't that dirty from breakfast!)
And then... and this is big... and I mean B-I-G... he took a 1 1/2 hour nap! Now for you mama's out there with good sleepers, this might not seem like a big deal; however, Cooper has NEVER done this before without me having to rock him back to sleep at some point during his nap. He is a habitual early nap waker, which results in me being a habitual rock-baby-back-to-sleep-out-of-desperation mama. I know what you're thinking..."You're not supposed to do that. They'll never learn to fall back asleep like that." BUT Cooper will not go back to sleep if I don't. We've tried. I lost. Like I said, it's out of desperation! Not today though. Little Man then took a 1 hour and 10 minute after lunch with no early waking. But it keeps getting better. Are you ready for this?! He is currently taking his 3rd nap for the day!!! AMAZING!!!
Do you hear angels singing too or is it just me?
I hear the angels! :)
