GGGRRRRrrrrr...none of my babies look like me!


Mommy dressing me up...Hunter tells me she does this when she is sad about not having any girls:) Lucky us!


I love to smile at my mobile...it is the funniest thing.


This is the famous mobile that I laugh at. The bears are named Loafy, Jelly, Blueberry and Honey.


Well, Cooper is officially two months old now. We took him to the doctor on Monday for his checkup and shots. He now weighs 11lbs. 12 oz. and is 22 1/2 inches long. The doctor was very impressed with his weight. The doctor also said he looked more like his dad...GGGGGRRRRrrrrrr... All the work for no glory...well except a beautiful,healthy baby!! You know what I mean. Cooper is in the 50th % percentile for his weight and his length, so he is normal but sure seems big to everyone. The doctor was also impressed with his sleep schedule at this time. After a few other questions, it was time..duh, duh, duh (those were sounds like something bad was coming) for those nasty shots. Poor baby had to get stuck 4 times but then he got a yummy, sugary Rotovirus immunization that they give orally. He got Tylenol for about 24 hours, was a little fussy that night, but seemed to wake up happy and back to normal. Other than that, we haven't really been up to much. Cooper is now taking two bottles of breastmilk a day, to get him use to it. For the most part he is okay, but sometimes he can give up a fight in the evening. However, I need a little more independence and he needs to start getting consistent amounts of formula, as I never know how much he is eating. Anyway, we have included pictures and a video clip from today to show how he is growing and changing. He is becoming MUCH more alert, finally looking at me when I talk to him, cooing, smiling, and even beginning to laugh a little. He is very strong with his head and body and we are pretty sure he will be crawling by about 5 months old. Our next post will be an update on Hunter...he is growing and changing too and he deserves a litle attention on this blog as well.
