Cooper finds the fountain of old age day 19

I spent a day away from the family.  Not by choice really, but because sometimes duty (work at the hospital that is) calls.  That's all fine an dandy until you wake up the next morning and don't recognize the giant child in your bed.  After ruling out Big Foot, Godzilla, and a yeti, I decided it must be Cooper.  No the spunky little sprite didn't grow full body hair or a spikey tail but he did seem like a much older version of himself.  Who would have known that he could change so much (more awake, bigger eyes, rounder face, etc.) in only a day.  I guess we know what his super power is now. 

We had a lunch date party here today (seems like our little guy has the same social prowess as his big sister), and mini me just took it in stride like he always does.  Kylie loved showing off her new brother, toys, and stories to Amy, Kerry, Julia, and Olivia.  She gets so excited having people over.  Cooper on the other hand, performed his best impression of an opossum. Yep.  He never seems to overwhelmed or upset by the day's social event.  Thanks for the nice lunch date and gifts Amy and Kerry.

Cooper seems to be developing a little routine, and today was no exception.  He eats in the early morning, sleeps in the late morning and most of the afternoon, spends a good amount of awake play time, eats all evening (even gets fussy if you cut him off too early), then sleeps pretty well through the night.  We'll see how the sleeping goes tonight, but however it goes, we'll take it in stride.  Overall, he has been a happy little 2 week old (slightly biased), and we feel truly blessed with two great kids.

More to come soon,

P.S. We headed to breastfeeding group this morning, Diana, Kylie, Cooper and I (Natalie). It was so fun to be back to group, the women are wonderful and it is so fun to see all the babies. Kylie was happy to be back too :o)

When it was nap time, this is how I found my little pumpkin, reading on her pony bed. 

The kids...Kylie (27 months), Julia (3.5 months), Olivia (2 months), Cooper.

 Poor boy slept through the whole thing, didn't even realize there was a party going on around him.
