Cooper: 2 Months Old!

It is hard to believe our sweet boy is already 2 months old!  He is growing and changing so quickly, it is so fun to see him develop into 'him'!  He has been working hard on skills like making coos/sounds (this morning he was going to town 'talking' to me! he gets such a look of determination/joy when working on this skill! ), using his arms/hands purposefully, playing with his tongue, lifting/steadying his head, laughing! (this is still rare, but happens sometimes!  it's adorable!), and is now following movements and focusing better w/his eyes - which means he is really enjoying checking out the world around him.  He smiles and smiles when talked to/smiled at - melt my heart!  So far he is the easiest of my three babies - which I am sure is part because of experience we now have and also part personality.  He really likes sleeping in his crib, but in the late afternoon when he doesn't nap well he will also take a schnooze in my baby carrier, which is handy!  The boys absolutely ADORE him still and it is so, so sweet!  They kiss him, eskimo kiss him (which often means they just gently rub their nose on his head... haha), and give him gentle hugs all the time.  When he fusses they get concerned and do their best to cheer him up.  So cute.

Coop had his 2 month check up yesterday and weighed in at 12.8 lbs (50%) and 24 1/4 inches (90%!).  Long boy!  Explains why some of his 0-3 clothes are getting snug!  He handled his shots like a champ, but currently has sore legs and a low-grade fever - poor fella.  We've been snuggling and dosing tylenol  :)



We love our Coop-man!
