Mr. Cooper you are an easy baby- so far. You don't cry a lot unless there is a reason - pooping and eating pretty much. We are able to put you down in a chair for awhile and go off to accomplish things... when you are awake (which is still infrequent but getting to be more) you are okay just laying around looking at things.
We had to steal big sister's rocking chair for the living room to have for you. But like with sis, we tend to have most of our time on the couch. You make a funny noise which had everyone concerned - mostly when eating but also when just hanging out, sucking on your pacifier. It sounds like you can't breathe or you are suffocating. Mommy showed a video to the doctor last week, and she said you are normal. Said you are just a "squeaker" - I'd say you are also a groaner and an all together noisy kid. Not in a fussy way but just noisy. Daddy sleeps with you on the couch for the first part of the night cuddling you next to him on his arm; he knows that I have a hard time sleeping with you in the room because you are so noisy. Daddies, you will learn, have the ability to sleep through more noises than mommies. When your mommy gets up in the middle of the night with you, she has a hard time sleeping with you on the couch because you DO make so many noises.
Eating is a continuous process with you. The breastfeeding itself isn't the problem. The problem is your lack of focus. About half the time, maybe closer to a third, you keep with it. Rest of the time it's a continuous putting you back on process. Or you do it for like 10 minutes and fall asleep. And it is very hard to get you to wake up. So you just chill and continue sleeping for the next 20, 30, hour... and then want to eat again - for five minutes or so... At the same time, you can go like 4 hours or so without eating until I finally try to get you to eat, and you are so starving you won't wake up to eat. Mommy has yet to decide how long we can nurse - I eventually have to go back to work and not to excited about pumping...
You are quite a good cuddler! Of course that's really about all you do. Definitely easier to cuddle with anyone other than your momma - with her you just want to eat!
You are getting so much stronger and already seem much bigger. Your neck control is getting better!
Your big sister loves you and wants to cuddle with you all the time. Loves to kiss your head, fingers, toes - would lay on you and love on you all the time if she would be allowed. She can't really be trusted to leave you alone on the couch. Meghan likes to show you things a bit too earnestly, likes to take off her shoes in the car and give them to you as you sit next to her, to hand her books over you... not to mention the episode when Memma and Pop were here when you stepped on his head on the couch.
You did not like your first bath and, for the most part, don't like being naked including diaper changes with mean cold wipes. You quiet down the minute you have your clothes back on.
Your Daddy loves you! It's getting confusing around this house between Meg and Mags... our first inclination it to call you buddy - but that's Tobey's name... I'm trying to focus on Bubba instead. Granted it would be easiest to call you Cooper - but that just doesn't seem to be something we do with new babies very well. Meghan calls you baby - something came out tonight that sounded a little like brother - big step! Cooper will not happen for awhile with her I'm sure.
We swaddle you at night - too much arm flailing for your own good. During the day, for the most part, you just hang loose.
Wearing your OSU hat for gametime.
Bought a sling to carry you around, and you seem to tolerate it at least... manage to sleep through it for the most part. It works pretty well for taking you to eat - except when Mommy finds food on you later on :) Seems pretty cozy though!
You are such a perfect little man - not a blemish on you! And such a sweet little head of hair - always greasy cause too many hands like to play with it. Long little fingers and toes. Still not sure who you look like although Nanny says you look like your Daddy. These two weeks have flown by! We love you little man, sit around just looking at you and loving on you as much as we can. Beautiful little blessing...
