Since I am Bragging on Jason...

Check out these videos. These were taken right after Cooper was born. I am so thankful that my brother-in-law (aka TRex) picked up the camera and began video taping as I was not around for these first moments. He got some great clips.




Guess Who's Home...

Yay! Cooper & I are SO happy to have Jason home. He's our favorite!!!

Saying Hi to Bear!

I Am So Ready to Have my Husband back...

I can not wait until tomorrow night at 8:30 pm.  That is when Jason will be home from Houston.  He has been gone for 11 days and I am tired of being a single mom!  I miss him SO much and so does Cooper.  I know Jason misses being home as well.  

I realize that we are lucky he has a job and without his paycheck we would be living in a cardboard box BUT a cardboard box is sounding pretty good if it means we could be together!!!  

BC (Before Cooper!) I never felt as is I "needed" Jason.  I have always been pretty independent and I always "wanted" him but didn't feel as if I "needed" him.  Does that make any sense?!?  But now, not only do I want him but I/we need him.  He is an amazing man who offers so much support and love.  I am SO proud of him as a husband and now as a Dad.  Oh..and he is pretty cute too!  I love you Jason!

The BEST diaper cream EVER...Magic Cream!

Our neighbors - who are also terrific friends- whipped up a batch of their homemade diaper cream for Cooper. This stuff is AMAZING! Cooper has only had a diaper rash a couple of times - if you can even call it a rash, more just red. The first time I used Triple Paste and had to use it for a couple days to see results. The next time I used Donna's super, magic diaper cream and it was gone in one use. WOW! and the other day Cooper had what looked like a little red pimple on his bum and after one rub of the magic cream it was gone. I keep telling her she should market this stuff. It rocks. Check out the personalized packaging just for Cooper:

2 Month Check Up


I can't believe Cooper is 2 months old - it is so crazy how fast time has gone. We had his 2 month check up today with Dr. Levine (who I really like) and everything went great. Cooper weighs 11.8 pounds and is 22 1/4 inches long. He is in the 50th percentile for his weight and he is in the 35th percentile for his height. His head measures 39 1/2 cm which is also in the 35th percentile. He is doing all of the things he is supposed to be doing - smiling, cooing, watching objects, holding his head up for a little bit before it gets too wobbly and lifting up his head when he is on his tummy. He did not get his vaccinations since he has been sick. We will go back next Thursday for those. Which is a good thing since Jason will be home and can go with me!
