Two Weeks Old

Cooper turned two weeks old yesterday and he's been home from the hospital for one week. His cord also fell off last night so he now has a belly button. And on top of all that he got to spend some quality time with his Grammie last night when she stayed with us because she had a meeting in Columbus today. A pretty eventful day for a little guy.

Today we went to the pediatrician. Cooper weighed 5lbs 4oz! That's 9oz in one week and almost a pound since birth! The pediatrican said he is doing awesome. He is having a little problem with constipation because of the high calorie formula so the doctor recomended putting a half ounce of apple juice in his formula twice a day. We feel sorry for the little guy because some of those marbles he's been passing have to hurt on the way out. Hopefully the apple juice will help even things out., His next visit is in two weeks for his one month checkup.

We've been receiving lots of cards and packages from friends and family. Thanks for thinking of us everyone. Thank you notes are on my "To Do" list. Since we named Cooper, my dad has said all he can picture is a little kid in diapers and cowboy boots. Well, Cooper now has his first pair of boots. They came in the mail today from my Aunt Karen and Uncle Paul. They're still a little big but if he keeps gaining weight like he has been he'll be wearing them in no time.

Floyd is getting used to having Cooper around. Today he looked like he was listening to the baby monitor in case Cooper called him.
