Cooper loves the sling, he gets the best sleep in there and allows me some time with two hands to do fun things like laundry.

Cute Outfit
Cooper's in 3 month clothes now, he does fit into some of his newborn clothes but most are pretty tight. This one is super cute, Sharon and I bought it from the Carter outlet in Woodburn! We're going back there this week to get more cute cheap clothes.

First Camping Trip
We went camping this weekend, 8/23-8/26/07 with grandma and grandpa. We went to Ocean Shores/Pacific Beach in Washington. Sharon and I have never been there before, the grandparents have property up there. It was awesome. The weather was great, sunny most days. Beautiful beach, you can drive on the beach in Washington and that was fun. The dogs had a blast and Cooper was a great traveler. We did however have the WORST clam chowder in the world in Ocean Shores at a place called Mike's Seafood. They put so much corn starch in it that it was gloppy and disgusting!

One Month Old
Cooper is one month old, well 5 weeks now. I can't believe it. He is still the best baby, he endured an IKEA shopping experience yesterday and was a super star. We bought him some cute things for his bedroom and grandma and grandpa bought him a snake hamper. Here are some one month old pictures.
Riley has taken to being the watchful eye for Cooper. I was in the bathroom while Cooper was hanging out on the bed and Riley decided that it was her job to keep watch over Cooper.

A day in the life of nurturing Cooper
Our visitors left today, Sharon's sister and niece were here since Thursday. We have a break now until August 20th when Sharon's mom and husband come up to visit for a week or so. It will be nice to have some alone time. just the three of us but the extra hands will be missed. Mostly I sit in a chair and feed Cooper all day. I'm still recovering from surgery so I'm not supposed to lift more than 10 pounds (I guess besides my baby who was 10 at birth). I can't wear in a sling right now because it hurts my stitches. However, we did go to the outlet mall in Woodburn this weekend and he did really well. We brought the stroller but he ended up nursing and then sleeping in the sling and we had Sharon wear it. It was perfect, he slept a long time in that. Yesterday we tried to have a small outing and he was having none of it so we all came home.
Cooper is a cluster feeder, he likes to eat for a few hours off and on before settling into a 2 hour nap. He also likes to nap while eating. At night, he sleeps for about 3-4 hours, wakes up at 3-3:30a.m. every morning to eat and will then sleep until 6:30 or 7am. Some mornings he'll sleep again after eating at 7am, other mornings he's up for a few hours.
I read a lot during the day and nap when he naps sometimes. He's really a good baby, not fussy or temperamental at all.
