Feeed Meee!

Big HatCooper's appetite seems to have kicked into overdrive. He's getting more agressive now when he eats, raising his head toward the bottle and flailing his arms when you take it away. Chris has had to take over all of Cooper's care until we're sure I'm not contagious and boy did he give him a workout last night. He seems to be eating a lot more and when he wasn't eating last night he was fussing. Chris said he was only happy unless he had his hand or a bottle in his mouth. He tried the pacifier but it would fall out when Cooper fell asleep then he would cry again. Needless to say Chris was very tired and a little cranky by morning.

The good side of the constant eating is Cooper really seems to be filling out. Just overnight it seems like his face is getting fuller and his legs aren't as scrawny. In preparation for another restless night I put together his bouncy seat and swing this afternoon in the hope that they may help calm him if he is fussy again. Cooper pulled a nice prank on Chris today when he pooped through three diapers in a matter of minutes and then peed on himself and Chris! We laughed the other day at Babies R Us when we saw what looked like an athletic cup that was designed to protect you from this problem. It doesn't seem like such a silly idea now.
