Cooper is 1 month old!

Cooper turned 1 month old on August 4th!  We had a busy day that day but we stopped long enough to take these cute pictures!

Cooper you still fit in newborn diapers however some newborn diapers are bigger than others.  We prefer pampers. 

You still fit in newborn clothes however you have gotten too long for some of your newborn onesies.  We have started a pile of clothes that you have outgrown which makes me sad.  I can't believe we are already going to start putting things away for our next baby!

You are still exclusively breastfeeding but we are getting ready to start feeding you bottles with pumped milk.  You are so sweet when you eat and I love having that time with you.  I look forward to Daddy getting to feed you and share in that special time with you also.   It will also be fun to let your grandparents and other people feed you. 

You are such a sweet laid back baby.  You love to be held and just look around a room.  You have big bright eyes that catches every one's attention.  Your personality is really starting to come through.  You don't smile a lot but you smile more each day.  You have a serious personality and you have a way of moving your eyebrows to look very serious.  It is adorable. 

You are also a wiggle worm!  You seem to be constantly moving your arms and legs which means I often get blurry pictures!!  Your legs are very strong and you like to push off of things and try to roll over.  You also try to put your weight on your legs and stand.

 You are a pretty good sleeper.  You get up for 1-2 feedings a night depending.  We don't have a real schedule yet so each night it is different.  We are going to try to establish a better evening routine soon.

Speaking of evening routines, you are not a fan of baths.  We are trying a couple of different techniques in hopes of you enjoying baths more. 

Your first month of life has been very busy and fun.  We have done so many things and you have met so many people.  You do great around other people and let anyone hold you.  You already seem to prefer mommy which I love, but I also hope that you will always be friendly with other people.  We feel so blessed to have so many people love you so much!

Here you are with your Cooper bear at 1 month compared to you at 4 days old!  Your bruising is completely gone and you have really started to put on weight.  Your face and tummy are rounder and your legs and arms are getting chubbier.  You are adorable!

Mommy and Daddy love you the most of course!  We enjoy this phase so much and are trying to soak it all in because you are already growing so fast!
