Cooper's 8 Week Checkup

We went for Cooper's 8 week checkup on January 14th. This was the appointment where he started all his immunizations. He was so good the entire time we were there...until the shots. But, he dealt with them a whole lot better than I thought he would! He weighed 12 lbs, 2 ozs and was 22 3/4 inches long (75 Percentile in both).

I also want to share a major milestone! Since January 18th, Cooper has been sleeping all night! He's still doesn't like to nap much during the day, but at night he will sleep from 8:30pm until around 6:00am. Then he usually will wake up, I'll change and feed him and he will go back to bed for another 1-2 hours. We are so happy about this because I know that it has been good for him and he's now getting good, uninterrupted rest. Mommy and Daddy aren't complaining about the much needed rest either! :)

Cooper - 12/30/09

Here are some of the pictures we had made of Cooper on 12/30/09. Jeanie Cone and April Cone Pearson of Two Scoops Photography took them for us and they turned out great! Cooper was a good sport - I think that he's going to like having his picture taken!

Cooper - New Year's Weekend

Here are a few pictures that I took of Cooper this weekend. He's getting so big! We go for his 8 week checkup on January 14th. I'm wondering how much he's grown since his last appointment!

Happy New Year!

2009 was a really good year for us. We found out we were pregnant with Cooper, had many good trips with friends, celebrated the weddings of family and friends, celebrated Cooper's impending arrival with wonderful showers given by our dear friends, and finally welcomed our precious little boy into the world. We are truly blessed and have a lot to be thankful for. We hope that 2010 holds all the joy that we experienced in 2009. Happy New Year to Everyone!!
