First days

Paige made a 'crib' for Cooper last night when she was home. He's in there if you can see him amongst all the pillows and stuffed animals. Luckily he started to cry shortly after I laid him in there so I didn't break her heart when I wouldn't let him lay there for an extended period of time! She had great intentions.

Cooper this morning--one week old today and so far a good little man.

Cooper with his pony Paige gave him--one week old. I am hoping to take pictures on a monthly basis so we can use it as a measuring tool. We missed the one day old picture, so we are starting out at a week old. The pony for the time is named 'Windmill.' That is what Miss Paige named him when we were discussing him yesterday afternoon and I told her we needed to name him. We'll see if that name sticks.

Cooper and I spent out first official day together yesterday. Mom learned not to overdo it and I need to rest. I also learned his car seat is a little to heavy for me to lug around for a long period and our 3 trips (quite small) were about 2 too many. Today we are going to stay home and just venture out to get Paige this afternoon.

Cooper is doing quite well and we had a good night last night--hopefully not to jinx it since I am pleased with it! He let me sleep for a good 3 hour chunk and another of about 2.5 hours. Plus, when Ryan and Paige leave about 7:30--we both nap in my bed for a good 2 hours! This morning is a lazy morning and we are updating pictures and things of that nature. I may worry about a load of laundry; I may not!

Paige's preschool, which starts next Tuesday, had their open house last night at 6:30 so we went to check it out and see where we need to go. She did very well and didn't hide behind my legs or anything. Her buddy from daycare is going to be in her class and he was their already; so she ran off with him and they played. I know she'll learn to play with other kids, which she should, but I am very happy the two of them are in the same class. It will help out a lot with the transition.
