Time's Up

My maternity leave will be over in a few hours. Tomorrow it's back to work. We've been trying to keep Cooper to a 12/3/6/9 feeding schedule but he has different ideas. Just when we think we're in charge he asserts his independence to prove how naive we are to think we could control him. Today he wanted to eat every two hours all morning and afternoon then he slept for five hours this evening. That's the longest he's ever slept in one stretch. So we don't know what's going on. Maybe he's having a growth spurt. The good thing is the five hour nap put him back on schedule.

Grammie and Papa visited on Saturday and they think he has grown. Not only has he put on weight but he seems to have gotten longer as well. We'll know for sure when he goes back for his two month checkup on March 6. Cooper and Grammie spent some quality time together. As you can see in the picture they had some really good conversations.

Cooper and I had another photo shoot the other day. I was playing around with his spiky hair again. It just cracks me up. I also took some pictures of him in the hat that Aunt Susan's friend sent for him.
