7 weeks old today!


Hello! How is everyone out there? I haven't heard from many of you in a while, but I know you visit often to read about me and I will keep the posts coming your way! This past week was a great one. Last Monday the 5th was aunt Amber's birthday, Happy Birthday to her, we hope she liked her "bouquet of flowers"! I have been such a happy boy! You wouldn't believe all of the smiling and cooing I have been doing for mom and dad. I found my voice and I sure do like to hear it! This past week in pictures was portfolio worthy if I do say so myself. So be sure to check your email as mom got the pics out this morning. I hope you like them; I am sure you will. If you don't get them, please let mom know and she will send them right away. Also you should see how coordinated I am getting. I am moving my arms and legs like crazy. Mom stopped by her work on Thursday and they weighed me, I weighed 12 pounds 4 ounces! I swear mom thinks she is the only woman in the world to deliver a 9+ pounder and live to tell about it, haha. Give the poor lady a medal why don't ya?! Everyone at mom's work was happy to see me and equally shocked at how often I have to eat. Mom has been trying to tell everyone, but no one seems to really get it. We got a phone call from cousin Stephanie yesterday. It made mom feel so much better because she truly seemed to understand. Her son, Sawyer, is now 6 months old, actually yesterday, I believe. Great news, they are coming to see us this weekend on Saturday. We can't wait. We hope they will be forgiving as mom may/may not have time to clean house by Saturday. Of course, I am not sure what she possibly could mean by the may not! Ha ha. I told you I am wearing all 3-6 month big boy clothes, dad said yesterday I will be drinking 10 ounces by 6 months! Mom says she hopes I get big and strong, but not 10 ounces! She is barely keeping up with me as is. More great news...no supplemental formula for me for the past 4 days! Isn't that wonderful?! Thanks goes out to Heather and Cyndy for their advice; those herbs are working. What mom won't do for me...she is taking 18 pills per day, plus her pre-natal vitamins! If that isn't love, what is?? So just when things are going well, mom has to go back to work on Monday. She cries every day about it. I tell her not to worry, I'll be great, and Ms. Michelle will take extra special care of me. So we are gathering my belongings and getting everything together to go over and meet Ms. Michelle for the first time tomorrow. I am so excited; mom says she is a wonderful person. We are thankful for her that is for sure! It's nice out today so we are going to run, just wanted to give you the latest and greatest. Also...last item for now, aunt Amber might be coming to stay this weekend, but we haven't heard back from her; I'll be sure to let you know. If not, maybe they can come next weekend and celebrate Dad's 31st birthday! Ok, that's the news for now. Love and kisses, Cooper.
