Hands Down

Cooper gave Chris a good laugh this morning. After his 3am feeding Cooper was wide awake so Chris was rocking him to get him to go back to sleep. Cooper brought his left hand up to his face and seemed shocked it was there. Every time he would bring it closer to his face he would look scared like it was some unknown beast. After a few minutes he brought his other hand up, took one look at it and put it in his mouth. So apparently there has been some kind of falling out between Cooper and his left hand but at least he still gets along with the right. Maybe there was a fight of some sort between the two. That could explain some of the mysterious screams we here coming from his room.

Here's a picture of Cooper's punk rock hair. I couldn't help having some fun with it after his bath the other day. People pay a lot of money for a hair do like this. Cooper's lucky his forms a natural faux hawk. It looks better in person. His wispy hair is kind of hard to capture in the picture plus the flash washed him out a bit. While I was dressing Cooper after the bath I decided baby clothes should take a lesson from strippers and showgirls and be tear away. They definitely should not involve going over the head. Poor Cooper probably wishes I would have played with dolls more when I was a kid so I would be better at dressing him.

Here's a tip for new parents...take a picture of each gift you receive with your digital camera. Then upload them to a site like Flickr and tag them with gift and put who gave it to you in the description. I've been writing thank you notes and this has really helped me out. It also helped me when I decided to return some things. The bonus is you will have a nice archive that might outlast the gift.
