My how time flies when you have two little ones to look after!! I can't believe Cooper is already 4 months old. It seems like just the other day we were bringing him home from the hospital...and now my baby is starting to not be such a baby any longer. He is getting to that really fun stage where he is always smiling, laughing and cooing. We had Coop's Dr. appt on Monday and he is weighing in at a whopping 13lbs 8oz and was 24 1/2" long....both in the 50th percentile. And I forgot what his head was, but I did notice it was in the 75th pecentile.. so looks like he is going to be a "big head" too, like his big brother!! He received 2 shots and had some blood taken, so it was a painful experience to say the least. Andrew always stayed with Evan when he got his shot so that I didn't have to watch, but I've been taking Cooper on my own the last couple of times so I hate it when he has to get his shots...it's just as painful for me!
Month 4 has been a good one for Coop. The first 3 months were a little trying, but he finally seems to be coming around. I guess I hoped he would find his own routine like Evan did, but its taken a little push from Mom to get him on a better schedule. As a result, he has finally started sleeping nearly 8 hours at night for the last week...from about 8:30 until 4 or so and then again until about 7am...ahhh, I finally get a decent night's sleep. I have to say a few weeks ago I wasn't sure if I was ever going to get more than 3 or 4 hours of sleep in row ever again. And now that he is sleeping better at night, he seems to be in a better mood during the day as well. He started Gymboree a couple of weeks ago and just loves it. We've been twice now and he has been the only baby who can make it through a whole session without fussing at all....he is all smiles the entire time. He even loves tummy time....which was always something I never looked forward to with Evan because he loathed tummy time. I wonder if this means Cooper will be a crawler, unlike Evan?!?!
Here are a few pics of my babies and a cute video of Evan playing peek-a-boo with his little brother:
It's hard enough getting Evan to smile for the camera, but to get both of them cooperating at the same time...it's almost impossible!! Both boys had just gotten up from their naps...don't you just love Evan's bedhead.
I was able to get Evan to sit still long enough to give me one of his "cheese" faces, while Cooper is busy chewing on anything he can find...including his hands!!
Unlike Evan, Coop is always all smiles...he loves to smile at anyone that will give him any attention!
I don't think I've ever posted a picture of Marte...here she is posing with Cooper (and all his drool)...and George (one of Evan's favorite friends)
Cooper was trying on the winter coat that I bought for Evan that he never got to wear...and looks like Coop might not get to wear it either since it probably won't fit him another 3 months when we travel home for Christmas.
And I forgot I never posted a picture of his nursery, so here are a few:
