Milestones to Report

Milestone #1 - Cooper is 2 months old today! Where does the time go??? On one hand it seems like yesterday we were in the delivery room anxiously waiting for him to be born. Then on the other hand we can't remember what life was like without him nor do we want to.

Only two more weeks and then he is off to his first day of school...well daycare that is. However let's not talk about that because it makes AJ sad and stressed.

Milestone #2 - Cooper slept in his crib in the nursery all night by himself. Up until last night Cooper was sleeping right beside our bed in the bassinet (and we mean right beside - touching our bed). The weight limit on the bassinet is 15 pounds and we are guessing that Cooper is pushing this limit. Every time Cooper would move in the bassinet it would shake and rock. Not the safest sleeping arrangement anymore. So we decided it was time for Cooper to start sleeping in his crib. As you can imagine AJ was on pins and needles about this and Corey was relaxed and cool. The only thing that helped AJ get through the night was the knowing that the Angelcare Movement Sensor (Thanks to Rod, Charlene & Alex!) would detect if Cooper stopped breathing, moving, etc. - if you have a newborn or are expecting we would highly recommend this!

After a bath Cooper went down for the night at 9:00 pm. Corey woke him up at 12:00 am to give him a bottle and change his diaper. Cooper went right back down after that and did not make a peep until 5:45 this morning. Also, I think we should report Mommy and Daddy slept like rocks! This could be a very good thing!
