Now that Cooper is 5 months old I've decided that it's really time to try to get all my pregnancy weight off! It's really frustrating that I still have to wear my maternity clothes since I don't fit into my pre-pregnancy clothes and I don't have the money to buy new ones. During the pregnancy I gained around 60 lbs and within the week of him being born I lost 30 of it and haven't been able to loose any more. It's making me frustrated. So... I'm going on a no sweets diet! I know, you're probably thinking "During the holiday's? Ya right!" But, yes! What better time to do it then during the holidays? I've already gone a week with no sweets and I've lost 2 lbs. Yeah! Let's just hope it keeps working. Within the week I've turned down two of my student's birthday treats, BJ's goodbye party dessert, my classroom treats, desserts at our ward Christmas party, my favorite mints at Applebee's, and Steve's random donuts and shake cravings. :-) Amazing huh! I've found that the more times I turn down a sweet, the easier it is to do it the next time. (I am allowing hot chocolate though-I just can't go through the winter with out it!) :-) Wish me luck!

Cooper is 5 Months Old!!!
5 Month Stats: 16.2 lbs 27 in
Cooper has learned SO much this past month. I feel like 4 months is a big milestone for him. Here's a list of things he does and likes: He smiles, laughs, squeals, talks baby talk all the time, sits up, wiggles and scoots, plays with his feet, sucks on his hands, sticks out his tongue, blows bubbles, splashes the water during bath time, loves to be around people and noise, kicks when he's excited, plays with toys, puts toys in his mouth, is very observant of what everyone is doing, likes to play with everyday house hold items, with much concentration he puts his binki in his mouth, he eats cereal with a spoon, drinks 8 oz of milk, sleeps 12 hours at night, takes 2-3 naps, LOVES naked time, loves to snuggle, likes to be tickled, play pick-a-boo and be thrown in the air, watches Signing Time and Baby Einsteins, his hair is growing back, he loves to look at lights, listen to music, and watch movies, and he sometimes rolls from his side to his back or stomach-he still doesn't really like tummy time. He still spits up a lot and has eczema and now he has stinky size 3 diapers and wears 6 month size clothes. And boy is he just growing up so fast. Before I know it, he'll be crawling. :-)
Here's some pictures to illustrate his 5th month of life...

I think it tired him out :-)
This is usually the first look I get from him whenever I pull out the camera :-)
