Cooper: Week 4

COOPER LIKES:

Tummy Time! 

Cooper loves some tummy time, but when he wears out he is completely over it... like instantly... and then he throws a fit... He starts kicking his little legs and pushing with his arms repeatedly which results in the third picture. Cranky kid just launches himself right over that Boppy! 

Helping Daddy cook deer steak!

Stroller rides!

Some people read books, others do bath time, we go on a walk before bedtime. It is not our purpose for this to be part of our routine but Brandon and I have always loved an evening stroll and thankfully Cooper appreciates them as well... And it makes a smooth transition into bed time! Yay for us!

Cuddling. 

COOPER DOES NOT LIKE:

Eating underneath a swaddle.
He wants to be able to look around, this is more than a little awkward in restaurants.

That's really it - sweet boy is a happy baby!

PICTURE OF THE WEEK:

WEEK 4 HAPPENINGS:

Day 22: Did some official "tummy time" (as opposed to just practicing lifting his head on our chest) and he was great, loved the black and white pictures, and when he was done, he was really done!

Day 23: Cooper cheered the Sooners on to another win over West Virginia! Boomer Sooner!

Day 24: Slept in his rocker (aka not in our bed) all night... proud of him, sad for me.

Day 25: Today we went back for another followup with the lactation specialist at the hospital. She suggested we weigh him - baby boy is officially TEN pounds! How did that happen?

Day 26: Cooper was one messsssy baby that day! We spend a lot of time in just a diaper because otherwise the poor baby would run out of clothes daily... In the two hours that daddy was home, he had to change shirts two times! (*Note: Mommy did not put those diapers on so she can't be accused of making them leak on purpose!)

Day 28: Stage 5 clinger... For some unknown reason, Cooper did NOT want to be put down all day. I was completely fine with that!
