We went to the Medford/Ashland area for 7 days with Cooper and the dogs. Sharon worked at her branch in Medford while I relaxed with Cooper at the campsite. We stayed in Ashland at an RV park, http://www.glenyanrvpark.com/ We had a great time and went to Crater Lake on Sunday. Neither one of us has ever been there and it was beautiful. Very very cold as you can tell by the pictures. It is the deepest lake in the United States at 1932 feet deep. It collects water from rain and snow only. If you haven't seen it, you need to check it out when you visit.

Milestone

Cooper had his 2 month appointment today. The milestone is he gained 1 pound in two weeks. He is now almost 13 pounds at 12 pounds 13 ounces and he measures 25 inches. I couldn't believe it, what a super eater. Another thing I learned is that at two months old he doesn't poop as often. He's been going once every few days lately and I was worried that wasn't often enough. Come to find out that it is very normal and I only need to be concerned if he goes a week without a movement. No more worries about that. He also received his vaccines which he did not appreciate. It was hard to listen to him scream, poor guy. (Sharon was crying along with Cooper).

We are going on our second camping trip this weekend. We are heading to Medford/Ashland area for five days. Sharon has to work in Medford a couple of days and I will be hanging out with the dogs and Cooper on the creek in the trailer. It's going to be great to spend some time in Ashland.

Greatest Smile and Funny Faces

Cooper has the best smile. Here's a picture of him in the play gym smiling and having fun.

Greatest Smile

Smiling all the time

This is a picture from my work farewell. Cooper was great, many of my coworkers held him; he slept, ate, and played a bit while we were there.

Smiles all around

I continue to dress Cooper and I similarly without thinking about it. At the work farewell we were both in stripes as this pictures shows. The other day Sharon, Cooper and I were all wearing brown. It's not even on purpose.

Thats my son

2 Months

Cooper is now two months old, no longer a newborn. He is changing everyday and growing like crazy. We measured him last night and according to our measurements is now 25 inches. The doctor weighed him last week and he's 11 pounds 12 ounces. He loves going places with mom like the store, walks, breakfast dates and visits with Elliott.

Here are some 8 week pictures of Cooper while he was getting a bath. He loves bath time, he chills in the warm water.
