Updates

My computer was down and out and I felt so lost it wasn't even funny. I am not addicted that much to Facebook or email; it was the inability to look up my addresses, balance my checkbook, not be able to access my photos, etc. that really got to me. But we are back up and running. I will post photos later but here is our week in review:

• Paige made it across the monkey bars all by herself yesterday. This is huge as she's been trying for a while. I think she did it accidentally as well as she was waiting for me to 'help' her and I heard her shriek, "Mom, I did it!"
• Cooper took his first bottle on Monday night from Ryan--all went well other than he took forever to drink it. Mommy stayed far away so he didn't get confused. Our plan is to have Ryan give him a bottle each night so he gets used to them; plus they get to bond :)
• Cooper and I went on our first road trip of more than 40 miles--granted we just went to Dickinson, but I had to deal with the 'we are out in public and where do I feed you' problem. The car worked just fine and he realized he can puke on me anywhere and it doesn't matter. Plus, he was a pretty good shopper and wouldn't sleep in his carseat while we were in the stores--there was too much going on.
• Cooper has also went 5 hours between feedings for two nights in a row! He eats at 9ish and has woken up to eat at 2:30 am--granted he doesn't sleep until about 10:30 or 11:00 but I am still getting more sleep on those nights. He is then on a 3 hour schedule the rest of the day and let me tell you, he is a little clock.
• Cowboy is chopping corn and basically is missing as we see him for only about 2 hours each night before he passes out. The fun of fall.
• I am heading back to work on the 18th. Have mixed feelings about it--I like my job but its been nice to cuddle my little guy and hang out in my pjs in the morning!
