We went to the clinic yesterday for Cooper's 12 week check up. I was sitting in the waiting room and a lady there was saying how cute Cooper was and that he should be in a Huggies commercial! I told Mark and he said maybe we should consider it?!

Anyway Cooper's stats are now:

Weight: 6.49 kgs (6490 g) (14.3 lbs)
Length: 62 cm
Head: 41 cm

So all is well.

Cooper does so many weird things lately – he changes every day! I can never figure him out. And I just wish he would sleep through again. Every night when we put him to bed now he grizzles. I have to go in and pat/shush him a few times. He never used to do this – now he does it every night after his last feed.

Last night was weird. I fed him at 5.00 pm and he was fussing about a bit at the feed. But when I offered my boob without the nipple shield he went on straight away! Very strange. Then he did not sleep the best. Woke up at 12.45 am (8 hours between feeds – I guess it's okay). Then he woke at 4.00 am. I just went in and patted him for a couple of minutes. Also he had kicked off his blankets. Then he woke at 5.00 am. I thought I'd fed him then. He only had 5 minutes. Weird. Then I thought I'd wrap him and he slept until 7.00 am where I did a 10 minute feed. Also I used the shield again and he was fine with it.

I really am wondering if he's teething. Yesterday while waiting for the clinic appointment he had my finger in his mouth and he was biting down sooo hard it almost hurt me!

Deejoy17 – Sorry to hear about your infection. I hope it goes away soon.

kmh – I was given some muslin wraps but they are just Bubba Blue brand and can be bought from Target.

Mads – Welcome to the group! Cooper is a Cancer bub. I looked it up on the Net and it says "they love to be needed"! I think that sounds like Cooper! And they are moody.

Freya is adorable – just checked our your website.

chantal25 – Good luck with all your appointments for Zac. I hope they help.

Boisey – How's Jensen today?

baiza – So you're starting up a feed/hand sculpting business... Sounds cool. I hope it works out for you!
