7 Weeks with the Coop!

Well, the first week back went well and now we are on to week two. Things are still going well besides the fact that Miley has yet another cold for some reason and Cooper is really having some tummy issues. I feel bad for my kids that they have inherited my intestinal issues, I just pray that neither of them end up with Crohn’s, thankfully, mine has been in remission now for 3 years now with a minor issue last May. We now have Miley’s toddler diarrhea under control but now Cooper is dealing with something. He is a very gassy baby but it seems to be excessive and when he has a gassy spell he is extremely uncomfortable and will scream out in pain until it passes and this can take up to an hour of screeching cries. And once they pass he sure can clear a room! I spoke with Dr. Heilman and he wants to see him tomorrow as he wants to check to make sure something isn’t wrong as there is fussy and then there is in pain and we are thinking we are at that point where he is in pain and not just fussy. So, we will see what he has to say tomorrow and go from there.


But, when Cooper is happy, he is Happy!! He is really starting to get fun now, he still won’t smile for you yet but he sure is a talker! He is very aware of his surroundings and follows voices very well. He knows when his mommy enters a room and loves looking at his daddy, especially when he is wearing a hat, and adores his sister. She loves to sit and talk to him and give him kisses and he just stares at her like he just knows that she will always be there to watch out for him.

I need to upload pictures from my camera but for now here are some from my phone.

We got this bed for Cooper that goes in our bed between our pillows as he didn't sleep well in the bassinet and we cant' have him move into his room with Miley yet until he sleeps alittle more soundly and he does REALLY well in this bed and puts himself to sleep and is easy for me to get to when he needs me.

He is really getting good at holding his head up now!

Miley fits better in this now then when she was Cooper's age, she had some THUNDER thighs when she was an infant!

I love this hat! He loves looking at Taylor when he is wearing a hat as he stares at the bill- I put this on him and he kept going cross eyed looking up and staring at his bill.

We had popcorn one Friday night and Saturday morning Miley came to our room when she woke up carrying the bowl of leftover popcorn and sat down on the floor and starting having breakfast.

Cooper now pulls his own hair! When he is laying down on the ground he finds it and pulls! He started screaming before I took this picture and I couldn't figure out what the problem was until I looked up and saw he had a handful of hair and wasn't letting go, he now has to wear a hat when he is playing on the ground!
