Cooper at 2 Weeks...

Today we saw Dr. Joe Edwards for Cooper's 2 week check-up, and he checked out to be a healthy little boy!

Weight: 7 pounds and 2 ounces. Dr. Joe said he is happy as long as the baby is at their birth weight at 2 weeks...he weighed 6 pounds 7 ounces at birth so he is good. However, his weight put him in the 5th percentile. Matt and I were a bit surprised by this as Anna Lauren has always been above average and off the charts in length / height...Dr. Joe said no worries...he has no potential to stay in this percentile. It was funny because Matt said, "Cooper, what are you going to do on the football field, kick?"

Length: 21 inches...he was 19.5 inches at birth...25th percentile for length.

Head Circumference: 13.5 inches...less than 5th percentile.

Heart: GOOD, STRONG heart beat! Our God is good and has taken care of our little man!

Cooper waiting to be called back to see Dr. Joe Joe...

You know the drill...you dress them all cute to get to the doctor and have to un-dress them...I mean the doctor doesn't even see their cute clothes. Here Cooper is sound asleep on my lap waiting for Dr. Joe to come check him out. And by the way, he LOVES his pacifier...if only we could find a way to keep it in his mouth all night!

He is absolutely precious and I know you all are enjoying every minute except for the lack of sleeping. Hang in there and I look forward to watching him grow up too.

He is so sweet! Don't blink...he won't stay little for long. Sam was about that size when he was born and you know how big he got in the first year! Happy for you!
