Dislikes:

going to sleep. (He will do anything to fight it, including talking to you in a sweet voice pleading to stay up...of course sometime he takes a more direct route which includes screaming)
being woken up in the morning (mommy and daddy hate to be awoken too)
staying asleep during the day at home (although it's much better than it has been)
having to be burped during the middle of eating
looking at daddy wearing sunglasses
New Abilities:
rolling over from back to stomach

This is a video of Cooper rolling over for us. He just started doing it with no warning...he looks like a pro.
We have attempted to introduce a nightly snack of rice cereal or oatmeal. However he has not quite acquired the taste for these scrumptious snacks. He eventually "enjoys" the cereal after about 10 minutes of fighting it. This is becoming a nightly struggle because each night begins with this 10 minute fight.
In the end, more food is deposited ON his mouth than IN his mouth.
Now that it is warmer out, we have let Cooper play naked...well as naked as we feel is safe.
