The saying time flies doesn't even cut it in this case. Actually time flies is the understatement of the year. How we have seen a month come and go is beyond me...but none the less...it has. Wow! Here's a few tidbits, some diaper pics and some miscellaneous stuff about Cooper and his first full month of life!!
This month Cooper:
**Is growing in some wonderfully fuzzy brown hair. It sticks straight up depending on what side of his head he is laying on. Just this week the top of his head began to peel, but I'm crossing my fingers he keeps some of that beautiful fuzzy baby hair! It's too cute!
**Has transitioned from newborn diapers to wearing size one diapers!
**Speaking of diapers, though Jeremy and I are pretty skilled diaper-ers, in Cooper's first several weeks, he managed to pee through at least 3 or 4 outfits a day.
**Yesterday was his first official day of no wetting through that I can remember since bringing him home! Yay Cooper...keep up the good work buddy!! :)
**Officially outgrew his first outfit. It was a newborn sleeper...and the part that he outgrew was the length. His skinny little upper body fit just fine...but his legs were much too long!
**Is smiling...a lot! Yesterday I got my first smile that I knew he gave me just because I was talking to him. It melted my heart.
**LOVES his new baths. We are able to submerge him and his chair in the kitchen sink now. He loves the warm water and has begun to talk to us during the entire process.
**Is opening his eyes wide, cooing and batting (very jerkily) at objects in front of him. It's precious and has happened so fast!
**Sleeping is pretty fabulous on most nights with him. He isn't sleeping all night at this point, but I imagine another few weeks will bring us mostly well slept nights! Right now, he will have an evening bottle between 9 and 11 after which he will sleep at least 4 hours...and he has been known to sleep 5 to 5.5 hours in one sweep!! God love you for that Cooper. Momma and Dadda can't tell you how great it is!!
**Took his first and second ride in the carrier with Momma. We wandered the yard while Dadda and Owen played like maniacs!
**Took his first trip to the park
**Had his first park picnic.
**Took his second and third trip the park.
**Has given his Momma a wonderful first full month of maternity leave. I already can't imagine leaving you all day 4 days a week. UGH!!
**Eyes are beginning to turn blue. Or so they appear to be anyway! If you inherit the same eyes your brother did, there will be some broken hearts over those eyes. I can guarantee it!
**Goes back to the doctor for his one month checkup on September 6. I can't wait to see how much you've grown little man!!
Cooper,
This month has been nothing short of an amazing blur of bottles and sleepy snuggles. Your Dadda and I have loved every second of this precious and fleeting time with you. It's amazing to see how you're changing already. We can't wait for all the fun we have in store for us! More smiles, giggles and watching your little personality show us more and more about who you are going to be!! Will you be rambunctious and full of energy like your big brother Owen? Or will you be reserved and calm like...well...no one our family is at the moment?? Oh the things you are going to teach us little man!! We're already on to month 2! What wonderful world this is and what a blessing you are!
Love you always, Momma and Dadda
