Finally, a new post!

After being sick for, well, forever now, Jonah and I finally made it to playgroup. It's our ward (church) playgroup. Rich had a day off that day, so I left Cooper with him. It was at a local gymnastics facility. I grew up in the gym (gymnastics) but my little Jonah had never seen anything like it before. His eyes lit up when we walked in! Then when he discovered the pit and the trampolines, he was having the time of his life! *Click picture to enlarge*
He definitely had a blast! I did too. I even got on the bars and the tramp. Nothing to brag about though...having kids sure robbed me of my gymnastic abilities. That's okay, I'd much rather have my kiddos.

Little Cooper is not so little anymore. The kid is growing like a weed! My husband was a fat baby too. Rich came out at 10lbs 4oz and was super husky for a couple of years. Cooper is taking after him for sure! Cooper was my smallest baby at birth but is now far bigger than the other boys were at this age. He is 4 months old and wears 6-9 month clothes! He is doing great! He has thee cutest laugh in the world! I have to get it on camera!! He is just so wonderful and we are blessed to have him!! He has definitely gone bald over the past couple of months. I still can't tell what color his wear will grow back in, but I'm guessing blond cause that's what both boys had as babies. Oh, and the back of his head is a crack up because he has this patch of hair still and looks like a little old man. And thank goodness he can sit up in his bumbo and jumper now cause his head is flat in the back from laying down all of the time. Hopefully as he sits up more it will round back out. Cooper is sleeping so much better now! I have him on a good eat-play-sleep schedule and is pretty by the clock now, it's wonderful. I'm still feeding him twice a night, but it is only about 15-25 minutes, (compared to an hour or more) and then I burp him and he is right back to sleep. He is great about going right to sleep on his own too. With Julien and I think Jonah (2nd kid is a blur to me) I would have to rock them to sleep and it would sometimes take forever. I didn't train them to fall asleep on their own as infants (Julien was a lot harder than Jonah though). But with Cooper being my 3rd and me being more experienced and a lot more pressed for time, I put him in bed before he was asleep and eventually he knew just what to do. A lot less stressful! My poor baby has the most horrible rash ever and I know it's because of stupid antibiotics that the Dr. prescribed him. I hate antibiotics! They destroy immune systems! Anyway, here he is, so bald, chunky, and ever so sweet.....This is when his rash started to develop. (Hard to see here). It gets worse, these pictures are in chronological order.
Of course the smiley pictures come out blurry...I shrunk it to help it not look so fuzzy.
Another cute but blurry one. Who do you think he looks more like, Julien or Jonah?














Julien is really good with Cooper and they adore each other.

















Look at my big boy....
Sad, huh. Poor baby.:(
And now let me show you a funny comparison......Cooper's legs at 3 weeks old and his legs at 4 months............



















I just love little baby legs! I pinch his all day!
