Addie's Weekly Photo (23 Months Old)
Cooper's Weekly Photo (4 Weeks Old)
Little Talker: Addison is always looking for new ways she can interact with us vocally. Nana and Addie have started a new routine conversation whenever they are together now. Nana will talk gibberish and then Addison will say "ah-kay". Then Addison will talk gibberish to Nana and Nana will say "ah-kay". Addison also loves to come up to us now and ask "wha goin on". So cute!!
Accident Prone: For whatever reason in the last week, Addison has fallen 3 or 4 times and really banged up her knees. It might be in part because she's in new sandals and shorts so in addition to having new footwear, she doesn't have the protection she's used to (pants) to pad her fall. It's so pathetic when she falls too because she will run over to us and beg us to kiss her boo boo
Little Lover: Addison LOVES to interact with Cooper now. Any time Coop is low to the ground or at a spot that Addie can climb up to him, she does! Addison loves to give Cooper kisses on his head the most but will also get right up next to him and ask "wha-doin".
All about Cooper:
The last few weeks have been a bit rough and we've had the most difficult time trying to figure out exactly what is causing our little guy to be so fussy at times. Of course the doctor visit didn't give us a ton of obvious answers but helped us narrow down a few possibilities. One thing that the doctor mentioned is that I should stop eating/drinking dairy products because some babies have a lactose intolerance when they are infants. Over the last several days, I've been off of dairy with the occasional "slip". I can't really say it has made a huge difference in the fussiness, but it's only been a few days and the doctor said to give it a full week or two.
Colic: One of the things our doctor said to look out for was symptoms of a colicky baby. I don't know for sure if that's what's going on with Cooper, but it does seem like he's fussier at night and quite a bit after eating. Everything I've read on line said that it usually hits it's peak around 3 months and should be gone by 5 months, so if that's what we're facing, at least there's a light at the end of the tunnel! :)
Starting to see better: I can't remember when an infant's full vision comes in but it seems like over the last week, Coop has been able to see more. We've noticed him making eye contact more and watching things that move around him.
All smiles: Cooper has begun the first stages of big smiles with us over the last week. We've noticed a small dimple on his cheek when he smiles or makes scrunchy faces too that make his smiles even cuter!
Growing Boy: Cooper is officially out of Newborn diapers and clothes. I'm sure he probably should've been out of them a week or so earlier, but I wanted to get the most use out of everything so we stretched things out a bit! LOL
Baby Announcements: These should've been sent out weeks ago, but with my LONG recovery time and two children to handle, it was much more difficult to get around to it. It was really nice because Nana watched the kids while Shane and I went in to design the announcements together. Can't wait for everyone to get them! :)
Neck Control: Something I forgot to mention from day one, Cooper is a very strong baby! His ability to hold his head up for long periods of time is much like Addison. We've put Cooper on his belly more than once and each time, he lifts his head up without any struggle and will look around.
