Snow, Shots and Superbowl Sunday

My last week of staying home with Cooper (who just turned 8 weeks old) was pretty eventful. First, Nashville got snow. Not much, but snow nonetheless. The dogs didn't love it, but they didn't hate it either. It actually made them want to go out, do their business and hustle back inside which was fantastic!

Because Cooper is starting daycare he had to go see Dr. Long and get his first round of shots. This was technically his 2 month check-up even though he won't be 2 months old until Saturday. Anyway, the check up went well. My sweet baby is continuing to grow and now weighs in at almost 13 pounds (12 lb 14 oz to be exact)!!!! He is tracking objects past the mid-line and doing all the things a little one should at this point so we will go back in 2 months. He got 8 vaccines in 3 shots and 1 oral dose. He took them like a champ and was only slightly fussy Friday night even though he was running a mild fever. After my first official trip to the 24-hour Walgreens and a dose of Tylenol all was well. Sorry for the poor quality picture... I'm not good when it comes to dealing with the ramifications of the flash.

Mommy took a little time for herself this week and went to the opthalmologist for my annual check-up and got my hair cut!!! Nothing like a little self-maintenance to get you in the mood for taxes. I even shaved my legs which hasn't happened a lot since having a baby. Cooper and I also went out with Tracy and Ellie for shopping and lunch in Green Hills which was tons of fun!!

We had lots of visitors too! Our friend and financial planner Jeremy Smith came by with dinner and an appropriate baby gift (a piggy bank... get it). Mimi and Julie came by to love Cooper and take pictures. My Mom came over to bring Cooper his first smocked longalls. Well, his first longalls that were smocked by her. They are red with a fire truck theme... very cute. Aunt Dana and Aunt Jane also came over to go to dinner with us while Daddy was on-call and then hang out!!!

This weekend was full of getting things off the to-do list. Even though we were definitely busy with laundry, grocery shopping and other mundane chores we had an awesome impromptu dinner with Nick & Meg which was fun. We also took some time out of the busy schedule to watch the Superbowl at The Osgood's! This was the site of Cooper's first date with Edith Jane Chapman, daughter of Meg and Brett. Edie looked adorable in her pink outfit and matching bow!Although they had a little quality time on the bed staring at each other, their feedings and naps kept them from really getting to know each other. I can't wait till they can play!!!!
