7 Months

Happy 7 months little Cooper man! 

 

What's new:

 

Holds his own bottle.

Rolls over from back to tummy and tummy to back.

 Loves eating solids - I didn't introduce a single veggie/fruit thing with him like I did with Alyssa, I just went all in.  I have been mixing fruits and vegetables together for him and his all time favorite is this combo: apples, blueberries, baby kale and spinach. 

 

Able to get on his hands and knees

 

Loves to talk and says abababah

First official word is Dada!!!

 

 

We have a crawler!  Well...it's more of an inchworm craw or as his teacher says, "it looks like The Worm (the dance move) but in slow motion!"  And by the way - I LOVE THAT SMILE AT THE END!!!

 



 

Sister and brother are obsessed with each other!

Glass Etching

I have been wanting to try my hand at glass etching for a long time and finally had the opportunity today.  Not only was it easy to do but I was also able to complete Park's Father's Day present!  I'm so excited about this project and can't wait to give it to him!

I used my Cameo to cut out the stencil and removed the letters.  Then I applied the vinyl to the glass and used the scraper to make sure all the edges are all pressed down to help prevent bleeding.  

I used Armour Etching cream and applied liberally.  I couldn't find the direction on the bottle on how long to leave the cream on but during some of my research on glass etching, I read to leave it for a few minutes.  I think I left it for maybe 30 minutes.  Whoops...I kind of forgot about it!  

After about 30 mins, I washed off the cream and peeled the vinyl off and this is what I got.  I LOVE how it looks!!! 

Here is the finished product!  I'm so looking forward to giving him this frame.  He has been asking for more pictures of the kids since he moved into his own office and that was a few months ago.  So now he has this personalized picture frame he can show off!  Happy Father's Day!!

Team Birch vs Team Ash

Summer is here!  Well...almost - this past Wednesday kicked off "water play" at the daycare and we were told he had a great time except one small problem, we forgot his shades! Whoops! His teaches said we always had shades for Alyssa so we need one for Cooper too! 

 

On Thursday, Baby Olympics took place in the infant commons area.  It was Team Birch vs Team Ash.  Although Cooper wasn't able to participate in the Relay Race, he and his teammate / lady friend did great in the Tummy Time event!  The teaches made shirts for the babies and his shirt said,  "Coop The Ladies Man Chan". 

 

 

 

 

 

And here is a picture of Cooper kissing on his little lady friend.
