Super Coop weighs in at 9.6 pounds, wears size 1 diapers, eats 2-4 oz every 2-3 hours, is in Newborn/0-3 month clothes, and is an ABSOLUTE DOLL! He is such a good good baby! (Not that I am at all biased!!) He only has one period of crankiness each day and it hits consistently at 9:30 each night. Chris and I engage in a little game called "keep baby awake" about this time each night (so we can sleep good at night) and Mr. Cooper doesn't so much appreciate our shenanigans.
He sleeps between 5 and 5 1/2 hours at night and we totally realize that this is such a blessing at this point in the game. My favorite shift is when this 5 hour stretch goes from midnight til 5am but sometimes it ends up being 10:30-3:30 (eek). Either way, 5 hours of sleep is an absolute God-send, so we'll take it!Cooper LOVES:
-strolling at night
-hanging out in the boppy during cranky time
-his little musical giraffe with moving head (he stares at it for hours just ooohing and ahhing)
-his Daddy
-to E-A-T (a lot...a lot)

-to E-A-T (a lot...a lot)
-swinging in his swing
-rocking on the front porch
-taking a bath (well, lounging in the baby bather minus the whole water and soap deal)
-shopping with mommy
Cooper could do without...
-his paci (90% of the time anyway)
-clothes (the kid is happy as a lark when he is hanging out in his skibees)
-an empty tummy
-having his hair washed
On Monday Daddy came home from Charlotte and oh boy, Little Bit was just beside himself. He cuddled right up on Chris' chest and the rest was history! Life is SO much easier with Daddy home! We settled right back into our little routine and couldn't be happier.

I couldn't help but snap some pictures of Cooper's tiny feet. There's just something about precious little toes that gets me!
We celebrated the departure of Cooper's belly button (FINALLY!) with a little splish splash action. Coop loved lounging in the baby bather but could have done without the whole bathing process. Regardless he came out squeaky clean and smelling oh so good!
On Wednesday we had marathon day at the mall with Friend Abby and her darling little guy Jeremiah. Mr. Cooper slept through 4 hours of shopping (thank you Ann Taylor Loft for providing me with something to wear alas!). Despite our greatest efforts to wake him, he just kept right on snoozin'. JB loved him and wanted to give him a big smooch!
We've had tons of great friends come by to visit this week. Meghan and Justin came on Tuesday and brought yummy yummy stuffed shells, Adam, Ashley, and Lorelei came on Wednesday and brought a delightful linguine dish, Chris' friend Aris whipped up homemade fried chicken and mashed potatoes last night, and John and Lisa are coming to visit tonight. Have I mentioned that we have the most wonderful friends in all the world!? We are spoiled ROTTEN! We can't thank you all enough!!What a fabulous, fabulous week!
Did you keep the crusty little belly button thingy? I have both the boys along with all the pregnancy (positive) tests that I took confirming I was pregnant. These things gross my husband out, but I need them. :)
