2 Months Old!

Dear Cooper,

On March 14th, 2010 you turned 2 months old! I can’t believe how much you’ve grown. At your 2 month well baby check, you weighed 12 pounds and were 22 inches long. When you were born you weighed 6 pounds 12 ounces and were 17 inches long. You are a chunky monkey! You definitely take after your mommy in that respect. You also got your shots at your 2 month appointment. I was so nervous and scared for you, but you handled it like a champ! You cried for less than a minute and then went right to sleep.

You have changed so much in just one month. You are so alert and active now! You love to smile, and you love to stare at all the world around you. I bought you an activity mat, and you love to kick your feet and swing your arms at the toys! Sometimes you have too much fun and you fall asleep on your mat.

You are sleeping much better, thank goodness! You still get up every 3-4 hours, but you aren’t as fussy and you don’t cry nearly as much as you used to. I love to look at you sleep – you lie in the funniest positions!

Your Ana thinks you look just like me – what do you think?

I think you look like your cousin, Justin. Your expressions mirror his exactly!

I am having such a blast hanging out with you every day. Every morning I sing you songs and you smile and coo. I make faces at you and you mirror my expressions. I am not looking forward to going back to work! I wish I could spend every day with you. (Sometimes you don’t love hanging out with me, however. Take the picture below, for example.)

I feel lucky beyond belief to have you in my life. I never really understood how much your Ana loved me until I had you. Now I know how deep a mother’s love is… and I love you to the moon and back. You are so very precious to me.

Love,

Mommy
