I've decided to use my blog as a type of journal to keep track of our everyday life. Ever since I had Cooper I've been thinking that I needed to start keeping a diary or journal to keep up with his milestones and the fun things we do as a family. I keep a baby book but I'm not the best at updating it right when "something" happens. I often find myself looking back on my facebok updates to see when Coop had a big moment!
Today has been an off day for Coop & me. He's exhausted but hasn't napped well (hints the mid-day meltdown title) & has kind of just been a little stinker in general. I fed him his baby food earlier with cereal and he thought it would be hilarious to take a swipe at the spoon every time I brought it to his mouth. It was rather funny the first few times he did it but when he was covered in apples and cherries and I was covered in apples and cherries I was over it. We finally finished & I couldn't help but give him a kiss... surprisingly the place my kiss landed was covered in apples and cherries as well!

We've been fighting taking a nap too. I rock him to sleep & on most days he won't fight me. Today has been a different story though. We're trying to teach him "no no" when he does something he shouldn't (like scratching my neck when I rock him.) Well the whole time I rocked him I was saying "no no" and he laughed every time I said it! Maybe he understands what it means better than I think! I also tried to just lay him in his crib. He doesn't cry when I do that, just talks a lot & then spits up everywhere. It never fails, if we lay him down awake he always spits up. Oh well, I'm having fun playing with him right now & would be bored if he were sleeping... that just means we'll be having a nighttime meltdown here in a little while!
