1 Month Old

Wow, time has flown by!  I can't believe Cooper is a month old already, seems like yesterday we just had him.  We have been working on getting to know each other these few weeks, trying to figure out what each cry means.  Cooper is a huge fan of sucking whether it be his bottle, hand, toy or pacifier.  We attempted to breast feed but was not for either of us so we have gone straight to the bottle and he is eating between 2-3 ounces every 3.5-4 hours.  We are still working on the naps during the day but normally he sleeps well at night.  He wakes up usually two times to be fed and then goes back to sleep, although we have had a few nights where he didn't want to go right back down.  Unfortantely, Cooper does not like to sleep flat on his back so we are not using the crib right now.  We have bought a rock and sleep for the time being which allows him to sleep elevated.  I think that he is struggling with a little reflux and that wakes him up when he is laying flat so this allows him to stay elevated while sleeping...it has been a life saver!

Now here are a few pictures from Cooper's first month of life...Enjoy!
