1 month old today




I can't hardly believe it, Today my sweet little angel baby boy is one month old. Exactly one month ago I met the person I've dreamed of meeting my entire life. My sweet baby. He is doing so much that he wasn't doing a month ago already.
Milestones up to one month are....
-He's awake a whole lot more than he was when we brought him home.
-He can sit up in his swing and his bouncy seat without rolling his body forward and his head stays put.
-He is able to hold his little head up for a minute or so without throwing it forward or back scaring us all to death.
-He is out of preemie clothes and soon out of newborn stuff.
-He has gained 2 whole pounds since the day he was born.

Our little guy is slowly but surely growing and its amazing to watch him every day. We love him so much.

We had to take him to the doctor two days ago because the past week he has been very VERY fussy and upset. He wouldn't let us put him down, He was waking up 4 times a night. He's been spitting up and very gassy. So we went to see the doc and they determined that Cooper has acid reflux. Poor baby. He is now on some meds and we are already seeing an improvement in him. He is still spitting up a little but he's allot happier than he was a week ago. I sure hope these meds work and he keeps getting better and better. Its terrible to see our little man sad.

A message to Cooper.
Cooper we love you so much, you have filled daddy and mommy's life with so much love and happiness and we are so proud and happy to be your parents. We will love you unconditionally and take care of you always. You are our special gift from God.
Thanks for gracing our life with joy and love. We love you.

And here is a picture of Coop on his one month bday.
Its the only one I could get of him right now since he's taking a nap in his swing. He looks so content though, Look at those healthy little chunky cheeks he's getting. :) Also a pic of him with Mommy and one of him with his daddy.

Oh and a big huge thanks to everyone for the sweet comments on my new hair cut. It was scary to chop it all off like that, But I do like it. I miss my long hair but I think this will be fun and sassy. I appreciate the uplifting comments ladies.

Hey girl... First of all, I LOVE the hair. I am actually growing mine out from having the same style last year. In order to get rid of the long pieces in the front I had to cut it several times as it grew to make it even... now I am where I am :) I have thought about cutting it again because it's taking forever to dry, and when you have a baby you don't have much time.

Also... not sure if you are into Chiropractic, but I personally LIVE by it. I worked for two Dr.s for 2 years and LOVED it. I go every month and went more so when I was pregnant. Kyah will be going next week for his first appointment. Why am I telling you this... Because it will get rid of the Acid Reflux in Cooper. Yeppers.. make it go away. That way you don't have to give him meds at this young age. Just a thought and I wanted to share with you. I hope that it's something you will at least look into. ?!?! Let me know if you do. I'd love to hear another success story. :)
