2 Months



Cooper is 2 months and 1 day old today!  I didn't have time to snap pictures or to write a post yesterday, it was a bit crazy.  Cooper had his 2 month well check up yesterday and he's doing great!  My proudest moment was when the assistant came back into the room saying she wanted to weigh him again because he gained a lot of weight since his last check up a month ago.  We checked it again and the number was the same as the first, which means he's now 11 pounds and 7.5 ounces!!!  He gained 4 pounds in one month!!!  Just about a pound shy of what Alyssa was when she was 2 months.  Makes me happy that my little man is packing on the pounds, which means...chubby baby!!!   Everyone keeps asking me how things are going with 2 babies now, and it's not bad since Alyssa is in daycare during the day.  Ask me again when I go back to work in about a month.  I'm sure my answer will be different - haha.  Obviously Coop is eating really well and we're getting there on the sleep.  He wakes about 2-3 time during the night to nurse, which is an improvement from when he first came home.  He stays awake longer now and will coo and kick and throw his arms around to play.  And Alyssa is obsessed with this little guy.  She'll give Cooper kisses freely, but not so with mom and dad.  But it's okay, better to have her love her brother than to not want anything to do with him.  They both keep us busy, but I wouldn't trade it for the world.
