Addie's Weekly Photo
Cooper's Weekly Photo
Over the weekend (August 11th), Daddy's family came for a visit. I love Addie's age because she's at the age now where she remembers everyone even if it's been a few months. Addison had a great time being around everyone again. Cooper was in his element too.... Both nights, he slept through the night with Aunt Shan!
All about Addie
Hands in Pockets: Addie's newest thing is putting her hands in her pockets (when she has pockets). I noticed this first when she was outside playing one day. I looked over and thought her hands were down her pants!! After a closer look, I saw that her hands were actually in the pockets and she was just walking around the yard like that. I'm not sure why it's so funny and cute to me but I laugh and smile every time!
"I Don't want it": This is usually at the dinner table, but Addie will take a bite of something and then push it away saying "I don't want it". We're trying to teach her "no thank you" instead of "I don't want it". Other times this phrase will come up is when we're trying to get her dressed or if I'm trying to brush her hair and it has tangles.
All about Cooper
Sleeping: On average, Coop sleeps between 4 and 5 hours at a time during the night and takes 1-2 hour naps around 2-3 times per day. He's not getting nearly as much sleep as Addie did at this age but it's slowly increasing as he grows. Hopefully by this time next month, he will be sleeping through the night consistently.
Eating: Coop eats around every 4 hours right now. We give him solids three times a day which usually consists of a fruit and veggie and then his meals are followed by a bottle. When he isn't eating solids, he downs around 4-5oz's of breastmilk.
Pooping: At the beginning of the week, Cooper was really constipated. I knew this because he pooped a tootsie-roll-looking turd whereas usually his stool is more peanut-buttery....I know.... descriptive. We had to up his daily dose of prune juice and I added a bit of miralax and he was good to go by the next day. Aside from that, Coop has been pretty regular which probably contributes to his happiness lately. I love my happy baby boy!!! :)
