4 Weeks Old!
We can't believe that Cooper is 4 weeks old already! Time if flying by! This picture above was taken yesterday-- we know he isn't supposed to be able to sit up in the bumbo chair already, however, he loves to sit up and hold his head up better then doing so when he is on his belly so we decided to give it a try! He did great and LOVED it! He only lasts 2-3 minutes at a time, but he's got a strong little neck!
The past week was tough due to the growth spur he was going through and Mommy not being able to produce enough milk to keep up with him growing! After many suggestions from friends, family, and Cooper's doctor- we decided to mix some formula with Mommy's breast milk-- the results were a VERY happy baby who has been sleeping 6 hours straight at night and then another 3 after his night time feeding! With Mommy going back to work in a month- we thought it was the best time to introduce some formula now to get him used to it!
We will continue to keep you posted on the growth of Cooper! Enjoy the pictures of the lovely facial expressions he makes for the camera-- It's scary how much he resembles his Daddy!

2 Week Doctor Appointment!
Cooper had his "2 Week" Doctor Appointment yesterday and it went great! He weighed in at 9 lbs. 3 ozs. and his height is now 20 1/2 inches! Doctor said he looks very healthy and is gaining weight at a great pace. Doctor also said that it is okay if we let his sleep as long as he wants without needing to wake him up to feed him because of his good weight gain! Last night Cooper blessed us with 5-6 hours of sleep at a time! Cooper continues to eat every 2 hours during the day and hopefully he will continue to sleep 5-6 hours at a time at night! Cooper's next Doctor Appointment is his 2 month Check Up- Keep you posted!
