Cooper has taken his first steps...with help of course.

Karo for Constipation

So poor Cooper has had some pooper problems. He isn't constipated but his poops are just a little to hard for a baby. The doctor recommended that I give him a half teaspoon of dark Karo Syrup mixed with cereal to help with this issue. However, my baby has been boycotting cereal and would not eat a bite. So I just gave it to him straight. He LOVED it. Now he will eat it with cereal. Figures...I have a sugar baby.

A Tasty Treat

So I had done some laundry today and was taking clothes upstairs to put away. I had laid Cooper on the floor and when I returned he apparently found a tasty treat to snack on...my sports bra. Clean clothes are his newest favorite thing to chew on.

Buns of Steel

I couldn't help myself...

Bad Mommy

I was a bad mommy. A very bad mommy. I let my 5 month old try his first sucker. I'm going to blame most of this on Jen's bad influence though. On my own I would have never done this! I think he really enjoyed it. Maybe at first he wasn't sure but when he didn't have it anymore, he wanted it! What do you think??

I hate to admit this but...it's a party in the USA

So, Cooper and I were listening to Launch Radio the other day and as many of you know, I'm an excellent dancer and my son loves watching me dance (one day he too will wow the world with his moves). Well this song came on and Cooper basically went crazy. He gets quite animated when he is excited. I would like to say that I only listened to it because he likes it, however, that's not the case. It's quite catchy, especially the, "Noddin' my head like yeah, movin' my hips like yeah." So anyway, give it a go, you too may be noddin' your head like yeah.

My lifesaver

So my baby who used to be an excellent sleeper has become a restless sleeper. He rolls, grunts, spits his paci out, and wakes himself up. At night I could hear his little stomach rumbling and he would have gas. I did some research on the internet and I found this. Colic Calm. I have tried it over the past few nights and it works really well, almost instantly at calming him down. It's homeopathic and FDA approved so I feel okay about giving it to him. I was a little alarmed because it is black. You have to be careful because if they spit it out it will stain his clothes, so always have a wet wipe handy. Second drawback is that it makes his poop black. I mean BLACK. Like worse than meconium black because there is so much more of it. However, a good nights rest is more important to me so I am willing to sacrifice cleaning those black nasty diapers. It works for colic, gas, stomach aches, bloating, and acid reflux. Like I said, it's a miracle worker!
