Josh is one wonderful daddy and boy does Cooper love him! Josh calls several times a day while he is at work to check on his family and to get an update on Coop. He enjoys giving Cooper his baths, I hardly ever get to because Josh loves it so much. He has nightly chat sessions with him and it is so adorable. He still gets up throughout the night to change diapers and does not gripe. I love listening to him talk to Cooper while he is changing him in the middle of the night. We are both still happy people at 4am, believe it or not! I knew Josh was going to be a good daddy, but he is a fantastic daddy! Cooper and I are so blessed to have such a great man in our lives.
Boy time, no girls allowed!
Dear Cooper
Cooper,
You are almost 2 months old and in just a few days mommy has to go back to work and become a "mommy" to 20 second graders. Don't worry, you will always come first! I am so glad that you were born in the summer so that I could afford to stay home with you for more than 6 weeks. I love our new life with you and I cannot remember what life was like without you. I will miss... feeling like ALL I do throughout the day is nurse you, waking up at 7 am and knowing that we can stay in bed cat napping until 10 or 11, changing 400 diapers during the day-with an occasional 'shower', watching crummy daytime television while holding your sweet little sleeping body and most of all I will miss the special mommy-Cooper bonding time!!! You are growing fast and I know there are so many fun things to come, but I will not be able to bring back the 'little' precious moments we have already shared!!!
Love,
Your mommy
Cooper is one month old!
I have heard over and over...they grow up fast, so you better savor EVERY moment! I now understand the truth behind that statement! The last month has just flown by...I have a one month old baby boy and summer break is quickly coming to an end. Bummer :( On a happier note- we are so in love with our son and he is quite the addition to our family!
At one month old you are...in control of your head (and have been for weeks now), you are an infant with a temper, during these tempers you arch your back and scream at the top of your lungs, you do not like to sleep during the day...at all...which is strange for a newborn, you are sleeping 3-4 hours at a time each night and our nights are actually pretty easy (for now), you are a growing boy who LOVES to eat...you nurse from mama and sometimes get formula. You do not mind drinking out of a bottle as long as you are getting food...the Tommee Tippee bottles make it easy to go between bottle and breast! You are a champ at nursing :) You are wearing size 1 diapers and are still wearing newborn clothes and some 0-3 months too, you are l-o-n-g and skinny but I am sure that will change soon with your love of eating! You do not like to be cold and you love to be held and snuggled up tight, you have been smiling in your sleep since week 1, but you are now beginning to smile and coo at us! At 3 weeks you weighed 9 lbs 4 oz and were 21.5 inches long. You are one lucky little boy to be loved as much as you are! We are treasuring EVERY single day with you because you will grow up fast!
Here are some photos of you at one month old!
These are daddy's swim shorts from when he was a baby :) They are big on me but oh so cute!!
