Monthly Update

This month's update won't have Cooper's weight/height because his appointment for shots and a checkup isn't until January. We have so many things to do and people to see that we can't get it worked in around Christmas. 

Height: 26" - 75th percentile
Weight: 14lbs 3 oz - 23rd percentile
Head: 42 1/4cm - 37th percentile
Clothing size: 3-6 months or 6 months
Diaper size: 2
Sleeping: 8 hour stretches, rarely getting up and if so, usually once
Likes: his brother, being tickled, bathtime, bouncy seat with vibration on, talking, warm milk
Dislikes: having his nose suctioned, loud noises, cold milk

His doctor wanted him to be eating 5 oz bottles by this appointment. He is doing that SOMETIMES. I'm anxious to see how much he's gained. Maybe I'll make Drew go this time, I've taken several scoldings from the doctor alone and I think it's his turn.

This is a healthy looking boy, right?


























Griffin is "full of life". That's how one of my co-workers phrased it after the Christmas party. haha! We couldn't imagine him any other way. 

He is loving the alphabet right now. We have several books that focus on each letter. He wants to know the first letter in everyone's names. "What do you start with?" or "What does he/she start with?" I take a lot of requests to write letters on papers for him to look at and announce. 

He also likes to count on his fingers, and hold up the right amount to match a number. 

I'm pretty sure he can do puzzles better than any 3 yr old in a tri-state area. 

I'm on vacation until the beginning of the year and all this extra time is wonderful.

Summary of December (pre-Christmas)

These first few weeks of December have been very busy. Work has been hectic for Drew and I, and evenings feel so jam packed that before we know it, the clock says it's midnight! We are days away from Christmas and I still have several people left to buy for. 

I spent quite a bit of time at the beginning of the month getting ready for my company Christmas party. It is not a big, spectacular event but it is becoming more fun because the "younger generation" of employees are all having children and it's the only time we all get our families together. I was one of 8 employees that had a baby in the last 6 months. Here are 4 of us that night:



I'll admit, I don't think I'm taking near as many pictures or video of Cooper as a baby (compared to Griffin). I'm working on that. You can never go back and get more photos! And I have a terrible memory, so I need these. 

Here's a hodge podge from the past couple weeks.





yes, that is a pirate eye patch
