baby week 4: so funny!

Cooper was taking a little nap with his Aunt Kate today. He started making sounds we never heard before! It's absolutely hilarious and adorable!

baby week 4: big smile!

We finally caught one of Cooper's big smiles on camera!

baby week 4: our first outing

We made our first recreational outing this morning as a trio! Destination...Whole Foods. Having not left the house for the past 3 weeks (besides 2 pediatrician visits), this was a very exciting trip. We tested out the infant carrier on a shopping cart and slowly made our way through the store. Who knew a grocery store could be so much fun!?!

baby week 4: video monitor

While Cooper's napping in his crib, we try to get some house work done, but are constantly peeking our heads in to the nursery to make sure the little guy is alright. Grandma and Grandpa Reilly got us the Levana BABYVIEW20 Video Monitor and it is awesome! We're able to hear and see what baby is doing from anywhere in our house and yard.

Now we're obsessively watching the monitor!

baby week 4: getting some fresh air

We took advantage of the nice weather yesterday and took Cooper out for his first walk around the neighborhood. He loves his stroller!

baby week 3: the boys

baby week 3: i see you

While reading "Yummy Yucky" to Cooper, I caught the little guy looking right at me! We had a staring contest...he won.

baby week 3: settling in

Our little peanut has been home for just about three weeks now. Its been an absolute dream to finally have him with us. We are completely mesmerized by his sweet & funny faces. He has us both wrapped around his tiny, tiny fingers.

Cooper had his two week visit to the pediatrician today. He's gained a whopping 1 pound 2 ounces and he's grown an inch!

baby week 2: first pediatrician visit

Cooper had his first pediatrician visit! He was just an ounce short of his birth weight at 7 days old and his little cone head shrank down. He now measures a length of 20.25 inches. He's a healthy baby boy!

{Cooper loves getting his hair washed!}

baby week 1: he's early!!

Our little peanut, Cooper Smith Flocken, has finally arrived (1 week and 5 days early)!!! Born August 3, 2010 at 5:10pm; weighing 6 pounds 9 ounces; 21 1/2" long.

week 38: baby's still cooking

Just less than two weeks until little Baby Flocken arrives! I've been teetering back and forth as to whether he'll be slightly early, late or right on time. I guess we'll see!
