Cooper has been quite the busy baby lately and it appears that there will be no slowing him down. At his 2 month check up on July 9th, he weighed in at a whopping 12 lbs 6oz. His pediatrician claims I'm not over feeding him though and am not setting my child up to become obese at an early age :), but he is in the 70th percentile for his weight. In one month he gained 4 pounds and grew 1 1/2 inches which was not at all surprising since he has grown out of all of his newborn clothes, most of his 0-3 month clothes and is looking comfortable in his 3-6 month clothes.
Throughout my pregnancy everyone kept saying that all babies do is sleep the first few months but that doesn't seem to be the case with our little guy. He loves to take short little teaser cat naps that last maybe 20 minutes and then he wakes up and screams and fusses until I have chosen the correct form of entertainment to occupy him. Then he proceeds to get sleepy, cries for his pacifier or bottle and then takes another teaser nap to start the process all over again. He is most definitely keeping Steve and I very, very, busy and giving us a glimpse into what his activity level will probably be like once he starts being mobile. With all of his activity though we have finally been getting some very lovely smiles which we were anxiously waiting for. Hopefully we'll get some pictures of his smiles soon but for now they are so exciting that we can't bring ourselves to turn our heads long enough to grab the camera. I also started back to work today and so Cooper begins his days with his Nana on the farm for the next month until he starts day care. The last report was that my baby is proving me wrong and has been napping for 4 hours straight, even with Nana poking him. There's someting in that country air.
