You are an absolute joy and Daddy and I thank God for you every single day.
What you are up to these days: You are a Daddy's Boy! Your favorite place to be is cuddled up on his chest while he pats your bottom. You are still a champion eater (3-4 ounces every 2-3 hours) and your little weight shows it...11 pounds when we weighed you today. You wear a size 1 diaper and 0-3 month clothes.
Mommy loves to dress you in silly Gymboree outfits (thanks so much for that addiction Aunt Abby!) Here is your new "Whale Watcher" outfit. I had my eye on this line even before you were born!
You decided that sleeping 4-5 hours was for the birds and now grace us with 3 hours, max. Oh boy! I won't lie, I treasure those precious moments with you at 3am where we rock in the glider by the moonlight. You started sleeping in your room in your big boy bed at 4 weeks and didn't make one single fuss about making the journey down the hall (although Mommy sat up ALL night staring at your little face on the video monitor to make sure you weren't going to ask to come back to our room!)
You still have cranky time almost every night between 10-11. Confession, at times your cry (read: blood curdling scream) makes us giggle. This is what you look like when you are fighting sleep. Look at that face!!
This is how you fell asleep last night:
Hey, whatever it takes, right!?You LOVE the bath now (even the getting clean part). Your favorite part is listening to the water run. Sometimes when you get cranky (or hop "on the Fussy Bus", as Daddy says) Mommy puts you in your bouncy seat and turns on the water just to get you to calm down. Our water bill may have doubled, but you are oh so happy, so it's worth every penny!
You are such a sweet natured little baby! We already see parts of your little personality shining through. You are a cuddle bug who also knows how (and when) to get fiesty. The perfect mix of Mommy and Daddy. We spend every day just soaking you up and enjoying every minute of our time with you. We can't even remember what our lives were like before you entered this world. You have already made Mommy a better woman and Daddy a better man just by being little ol' you!
We love you to the moon and back Cooper Wyatt! Happy 1 Month Birthday!
Yay-- it's the first of the so adorable month-sies! He is just so darn cute and you know I'm loving the Whale Watcher! Miss that sweet boy (and I guess you, too!!)
ReplyDeleteLove his One month onesie!!! Precious!! Did you have those made?! Cute photos!!!
ReplyDeleteAli, your blog made me cry. I have read a lot of blog posts about babies, but this is the most loving, sweetest, record of Cooper's first month. I absolutely love the onesie - so you have one for each month; that is great (i will be stealing that idea if I have a third and will add ruffles it is a girl:) I have told you this before but the love you have for your son shines through in all you do. You are completely genuine and it is heartwarming to read your posts! I need to keep reading, I only got to this second post (from the top) and had to stop and write you! xoxo
