More pictures of Cooper...

Cooper is doing great. He had a brief stint in the NICU for a fever, but he is already in the step down nursery getting ready to go home this weekend.

Welcome baby Cooper...

Welcome to the world Cooper Fitzgerald, born November 27, 2007 8lbs 13oz. We love you and Alex can't wait to meet his new cousin!! Moms and baby are doing great!

Doctor Visit...

We went to the doctor today to check out Alex's ears and he still has a double ear infection. We were referred to an ear, nose and throat specialist to discuss getting tubes put it. Our appointment with the ENT is on Monday. Alex weighed in at 19lbs 4ozs...he gained 12 ozs in 2 weeks, so he is definitely feeling a little bit better, even with the infection!!

Sleeping...

Alex finally slept through the night last night. He went to bed at 6:45 and woke up at 6:30 this morning. We hope this trend continues!!! Of course I couldn't sleep through the night, since I woke up twice to check on him. Hopefully he will continue sleeping 12 hours straight so that the rest of the family can get some much needed sleep!

We hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We went to Aunt Janice & Uncle John's house and had a very nice time with JB's entire family. Alex loves to stand up...he can't pull himself up yet, but if you stand him up he tries to reach for whatever is on the table.

We put up our Christmas tree and Alex had a great time pulling off the ornaments that were low on the tree. We were sure to put all the breakable ornaments out of his reach!

Happy Thanksgiving...

Happy Thanksgiving!!! We hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving! Alex has been feeling much better and has re-gained his appetite, so I'm sure he will love his first taste of mashed potatoes.

10 Months...

It has been a beautiful weekend here, yesterday it was about 65 degrees outside, so we took a walk and Alex had a great time playing with the leaves. 10 months old today...how time flies!!!

Moving up...

Alex will be moving up to the toddler room at daycare in the beginning of December. He has been getting bored in the infant room, so him and his friend Camryn are moving to the toddler room together. He is growing up too fast!

9 month check up (a month late)

Alex had his nine month check up today. He weighed in at 18lbs 9 oz (10th percentile), and his length was 28 inches (25th percentile). The doctor was not concerned about his weight at all, since he has always been on the smaller side. Unfortunately, both of Alex's ears are still infected, so we are on another 10 days of antibiotics. I hope this round works, or the next step is to get an antibiotic shot. Other than the ear infection he checked out great.

Alex was having fun sitting in his toy basket!

Look at those baby blues!

So big!

Alex still has an ear infection, so the doctor prescribed a different antibiotic. His second dose of the new antibiotic made him sick, so I have been cutting the dose in half and giving it to him twice a day instad of one large dose once a day, and that seems to help. Hopefully this round of antibiotics will clear things up, so Alex can eat and sleep better. Alex loves to clap his hands!
