3 Weeks

I guess it is an obvious statement when I say "I am super busy"... We are adjusting to our family of four and really things have gone really smooth. Cooper turns 3 weeks tomorrow and it is really hard to remember what it was like without him here. He is a super good baby. He went from sleeping ALL the time to staying a wake a lot more here the past few days. He is content on his own, something I did not experience with Cohen. I am able to put Cooper down and walk away from him and finish a load of laundry, take a shower, do the dishes, make Cohen lunch. So for the most part I cannot complain. Aside from an awake period in the middle of the night Cooper really is a really good boy and pretty easy.

Cooper makes the cutest little noises. My mom compares them to a gerbil, I say chipmunk. He likes to snuggle but at the same time he sleeps better by himself. He is cool natured... likes to be kept bundled up. (that is me all the way) He still has all of his hair, which we still cannot believe he has and that its dark! I think he is his own look, however he does share Cohen's profile, and has Jeremy's ears carbon copied. He does not have Cohen's lips despite puckering them when he sleeps. Cohen's lips are massive compared to Cooper's so no, I really do not see a ton of Cohen in Cooper and Jeremy and I actually see a strong mix of Jeremy and my mom's side of the family.

Cohen is adjusting well to having Cooper around. He really loves him. I find him going up to Cooper and saying "Oh, bruder (aka brother), him cute" or he is always asking where "baby bear is?" Today he did tell Cooper to be quiet when he was crying and believe it or not Cohen shares his blanket willingly with Cooper daily. Aside from being a bit rough from time-to-time Cohen really just does his own thing and does not pay too much attention to Cooper. The nursing and tending to Cohen is getting easier because Cohen does not seem to mind that I have to "make milk for Cooper?" as he says. Where at first he hated that I couldn't jump to his aid while nursing, now he doesn't seem to be bothered by the fact that while I am nursing I am all Cooper's.

We move into the studio later in the week and this weekend. I am really excited. I have clients that are already booked so I am anxious to get into the space and get rolling. I promise to share pictures when I have time to post. I need to do a recap of August too. I have so many pictures from before and after Cooper's arrival that are blog worthy. So until then. Enjoy a few snaps of Cooper and Cohen that I took last week.
