Getting Up to Date

So, What's happened in the last week or so you ask? A lot! Last Friday Daddy's cousin Danny, his wife Karen and their son, Georgie, came to California from Connecticut. They were in town for something work related for Danny but made time to visit the happiest place on earth, Disneyland! Well, Disneyland is super close to where we live, so we met the Connecticut Biolsis for breakfast. Georgie is too cute and Karen looks amazing (she's due with their second child, a little girl, in April). It was great to see them and we look forward to meeting their newest addition when we go back to New York this summer.

Earlier in the week we went to see Cooper's doctor for his two month check up. He weighs 13 lbs. 3 oz. and is 23.5 inches long! Yes, he's a big boy...in the 75th percentile for both weight and height (actually, he's close to the 90th percentile for weight, but who's counting). He also got his first round of vaccinations. He definitely didn't like those shots! I literally didn't put him down for five hours! Every time I tried to put him down, he cried that red faced, oh-so-sad cry that breaks your heart. And at 13 lbs. 3 oz., he's not easy to hold for that long!

We also bought a new toy last week. A $3.00 set of plastic rings, which is the best thing ever! Cooper LOVES these things! Money well spent.

If you put the ring in his hand, he'll bring it to his mouth and gum it and today, I think he realized that he's actually holding it. He brought it into his line of sight and stared at it and his hand forever.

He's so entertaining and, apparently, mom's easily amused. :)
