Cooper is eight weeks old today and every day, Josh and I are more amazed with him than we were the day before. Here is what we can expect in the week to come (as he approaches two months of age, Monday):
Week 9
Your baby's world is alive with the sound of music this week. Sounds fascinate him, especially high tones and pitches. He's also interested in hearing you talk, and will stare intently at your mouth as you speak to him. He may even reply with cooing or "goo"-ing. Though he's not ready for epic poems, start reading to him--he's already building a bank of vocabulary words.
This is especially interesting for us, because Jess has been reading to him for a couple of weeks now. (This was mentioned in a previous post.) She loves his reactions and he loves her story-telling capability. Although she swears that he likes the princess books best, we hope she keeps this up for years to come. Cooper is so very lucky to have such wonderful sisters.
Cooper has also been joining us for supper over the last week now. We put him in his high chair (thank you Aunts Chris, Carolyn, and Cousin Mindy!) and pull it close to the table, talking to him throughout the meal. He loves being there with the family. In fact, he likes being in the high chair in the kitchen while I cook or wash dishes too! He just seems to like being around all of us. And that's a good thing since he didn't get to pick us. :)

I'm happy Cooper is enjoying the high chair already! Congratulations on your wedding and your beautiful family.
