<br />
Cooper is growing so fast. He is starting to talk and repeating everything and getting the hang of what words actually mean. Over the past 2+ weeks he has had several bouts of stomach problems. We think he is finally over it but we arestill watching his dairy intake as there is a possibility that he has developed an intolerance. <br />
<br />
All that to say that over the past couple of weeks we have had many, many diaper changes. Just prior to his "sickness" he had started to use the potty on some occasions and wearing undies too. However, with the rate he was "going" I switched back to diapers. There were a ton of trips to his bedroom for changing and I started to tell him to "follow me" when we would go in there for a change (because he was getting too heavy for me to carry every time :-) ). After a couple days of multiple trips he started to repeat "follow me" anytime we made a trip in there. It is quite cute hearing a little "follow meee folllloww mee fffffollow mee" coming out in his little toddler speak/singing. Then he got to where when I would say "follow me" I would have to say it again and again and sometimes make it into a game so that he would actually follow because he knew what was coming.<br />
<br />
I am in the process of reading a book called The Beloved Disciple by Beth Moore. The subtitle is Follow John to the Heart of Jesus. Just a few chapters in I read the quote "We'll see that John followed Jesus on some amazing paths. Are you willing to follow Him?". Then in the next chapter Mark 1:20 "Without delay he called them [James and John], and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men and followed Him.". "Without delay". That isn't always how Cooper follows me and in reality that isn't always how I follow God. And just like Cooper, sometimes I need God to tell me again and again to follow because I think I know what's coming and I'm not sure I'm going to like it. Everytime I read the word follow or followed I can hear my little man's toddler voice in my head repeating "follllloooow meee". How the Lord uses everyday things to get our attention. <br />
<br />
According to Merriam-Webster the primary meaning of <em>follow</em> is "to go or come after or behind". Just like when Cooper comes behind me down the hall to his room for a diaper change or how James and John walked the path behind/with Jesus as he traveled during his ministry. But there are over 20 meanings and sub-meanings of the word. Including-to copy after, to keep the mind on, to accept as authority, and to engage in as a calling or a way of life.<br />
<br />
Because I stay home with him and I'm his mom, I am Cooper's biggest influence at this point in his life. And I want him to "follow me". Not just to his room for a diaper change but in the actions I take and the ways I teach him. That's because of my love for him, and because I believe I have his best interests in mind and heart, and because I want to keep him safe from harm and hurt. In the book Beth also talks about how she followed Christ and anything that she is or has value of is from Him. <br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: yellow;">!!Light bulb on!!</span><br />
<br />
This is also what Jesus meant when he said "follow me". He didn't just expect the disciples to walk behind him throughout the towns. He wanted them to learn from him, to keep their minds on his ways, to accept him as their authority, and to engage in his ways as their way of life. This was because of his love for them and because he wanted their best interests and he wanted to keep them safe from harm and hurt. He leads us for our good and w need to remember that anything we have of value is from Him.<br />
<br />
Just like I want Cooper to "follow" me, the Lord wants me to follow him. I'll be honest and say I haven't been doing a very well at this of late. I've been frustrated by the cold weather keeping us inside, and having a sick baby, and having a messy house because I have a sick baby, and missing out on fellowship, and on and on. I've been letting bitterness and worry into my mind and heart and slowed my following pace. So I'm glad his mercies are new every morning and that I can choose today to catch up and follow more closely.<br />
<br />
Sometimes being a stay at home mom is hard...<br />

Like when this is how he wants to eat breakfast...<br />

But I wouldn't trade it for the world because he makes my life such a joy and more interesting and fun everyday. And I know and pray that this is how God feels about me too because I am His adopted daughter and am living by following Him!!</div>

Now Cooper has been sick before...cold...ear infection...etc. But this stomach bug is a new thing. He woke me up Thursday morning having thrown up twice in his bed. It must have been in the middle of the night because it was like he had rolled in it and it had dried all over him...hair...socks...pjs...sheets...pillow case...you get the picture. I washed him and his pjs and sheets and monkey and puppy and sprayed everything down with Lysol. He hasn't thrown up again but he ran a low grade fever through last night. He finally improved today.<br />
<br />
Now some of you may not know this but after next week I will be a full time stay at home mom :). This week has given me a little glimpse into that life. And even though he was sick I absolutely loved being home with him. We cuddled together a ton these past few days. But let's be honest I got a little stir crazy.<br />
<br />
So this afternoon we decided to take a short walk and then a long car ride. Cooper got to see many of his favorite things. A school bus stopped to let kids off right next to us while we were walking. We stumbled upon a few dogs (ie woof woofs). There was also a person pulled over by a police car right in front of our house so he got to see a weeeoooweeeoooweeeooo. Then on our car ride we passed Jeffers Elementary right as the buses were leaving. He go so excited. He is really starting to talk!! <br />
<br />
Check it out :)<br />

July 5 - No pictures...too busy getting ready for Cooper's birthday party...<br />
<br />
July 6 - After his birthday party (a whole other post to come), Cooper slept off his cake high, played with one of his new favorites, and then we all went for a ride on Grandpa Dan and Grandma Sara's boat to watch the sunset.<br />

<!-- .entry-meta --><!-- .entry-header --><div class="entry-content">
First, a quick note: I wrote this piece after reading an essay written by <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/lea-grover">Lea Grover</a> in the <em>Huffiington Post</em>, titled “<a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/lea-grover/dear-less-than-perfect-mom_b_3184445.html">Dear Less-Than-Perfect Mom</a>.” The post by Lea was wonderful, and it made me think about us moms who found our sweet babies through adoption, and how we face unique challenges. I hope you enjoy it, whether you are the parent of an adopted child or not. <strong>Happy early Mother’s Day, everyone.</strong><br />
——————————————————————————————————————<br />
<em>Dear Mom of an Adopted Child,</em><br />
<br />
I met you in adoption education class. I met you at the agency. I met you at my son’s school. I met you online. I met you on purpose. I met you by accident.<br />
<br />
It doesn’t matter. The thing is, I knew you right away. I recognize the fierce determination. The grit. The fight. Because everything about what you have was a decision, and nothing about what you have was easy. You are the kind of woman who Makes.Things.Happen. After all, you made <i>this</i> happen, this family you have.<br />
<br />
Maybe you prayed for it. Maybe you had to convince a partner it was the right thing. Maybe you did it alone. Maybe people told you to just be happy with what you had before. Maybe someone told you it simply wasn’t in God’s plans for you to have a child, <i>this</i> child whose hair you now brush lightly from his face. Maybe someone warned you about what happened to their cousin’s neighbor’s friend. Maybe you ignored them.<br />
<br />
Maybe you planned for it for years. Maybe an opportunity dropped into your lap. Maybe you depleted your life-savings for it. Maybe it was not your first choice. But maybe it was.<br />
<br />
Regardless, I know you. And I see how you hold on so tight. Sometimes too tight. Because that’s what we do, isn’t it?<br />
<br />
I know about all those books you read back then. The ones everyone reads about sleep patterns and cloth versus disposable, yes, but the extra ones, too. About dealing with attachment disorders, breast milk banks, babies born addicted to alcohol, cocaine, meth. About cognitive delays, language deficiencies. About counseling support services, tax and insurance issues, open adoption pros and cons, legal rights.<br />
<br />
I know about the fingerprinting, the background checks, the credit reports, the interviews, the references. I know about the classes, so many classes. I know the frustration of the never-ending paperwork. The hours of going over finances, of having garage sales and bake sales and whatever-it-takes sales to raise money to afford it all.<br />
<br />
I know how you never lost sight of what you wanted.<br />
<br />
I know about the match call, the soaring of everything inside you to cloud-height, even higher. And then the tucking of that away because, well, these things fall through, you know.<br />
<br />
Maybe you told your mother, a few close friends. Maybe you shouted it to the world. Maybe you allowed yourself to decorate a baby’s room, buy a car seat. Maybe you bought a soft blanket, just that one blanket, and held it to your cheek every night.<br />
<br />
I know about your home visits. I know about your knuckles, cracked and bleeding, from cleaning every square inch of your home the night before. I know about you burning the coffee cake and trying to fix your mascara before the social worker rang the doorbell.<br />
<br />
And I know about the followup visits, when you hadn’t slept in three weeks because the baby had colic. I know how you wanted so badly to show that you had it all together, even though you were back to working more-than-full-time, maybe without maternity leave, without the family and casseroles and welcome-home balloons and plants.<br />
<br />
And I’ve seen you in foreign countries, strange lands, staying in dirty hotels, taking weeks away from work, struggling to understand what’s being promised and what’s not. Struggling to offer your love to a little one who is unsettled and afraid. Waiting, wishing, greeting, loving, flying, nesting, coming home.<br />
<br />
I’ve seen you down the street at the hospital when a baby was born, trying to figure out where you belong in the scene that’s emerging. I’ve seen your face as you hear a nurse whisper to the birthmother that she doesn’t have to go through with this. I’ve seen you trying so hard to give this birthmother all of your respect and patience and compassion in those moments—while you bite your lip and close your eyes, not knowing if she will change her mind, if this has all been a dream coming to an abrupt end in a sterile environment. Not knowing if this is your time. Not knowing so much.<br />
<br />
I’ve seen you look down into a newborn infant’s eyes, wondering if he’s really yours, wondering if you can quiet your mind and good sense long enough to give yourself over completely.<br />
<br />
And then, to have the child in your arms, at home, that first night. His little fingers curled around yours. His warm heart beating against yours.<br />
<br />
I know that bliss. The perfect, guarded, hopeful bliss.<br />
<br />
I also know about you on adoption day. The nerves that morning, the judge, the formality, the relief, the joy. The letting out of a breath maybe you didn’t even know you were holding for months. Months.<br />
<br />
I’ve seen you meet your child’s birthparents and grandparents weeks or years down the road. I’ve seen you share your child with strangers who have his nose, his smile … people who love him because he’s one of them. I’ve seen you hold him in the evenings after those visits, when he’s shaken and confused and really just wants a stuffed animal and to rest his head on your shoulder.<br />
<br />
I’ve seen you worry when your child brings home a family tree project from school. Or a request to bring in photos of him and his dad, so that the class can compare traits that are passed down, like blue eyes or square chins. I know you worry, because you can protect your child from a lot of things — but you can’t protect him from being different in a world so intent on celebrating sameness.<br />
<br />
I’ve seen you at the doctor’s office, filling out medical histories, leaving blanks, question marks, hoping the little blanks don’t turn into big problems later on.<br />
<br />
I’ve seen you answer all of the tough questions, the questions that have to do with why, and love, and how much, and where, and who, and how come, mama? How come?<br />
<br />
I’ve seen you wonder how you’ll react the first time you hear the dreaded, “You’re not my real mom.” And I’ve seen you smile softly in the face of that question, remaining calm and loving, until you lock yourself in the bathroom and muffle your soft cries with the sound of the shower.<br />
<br />
I’ve seen you cringe just a little when someone says your child is lucky to have you. Because you know with all your being it is the other way around.<br />
<br />
But most of all, I want you to know that I’ve seen you look into your child’s eyes. And while you will never see a reflection of your own eyes there, you see something that’s just as powerful: A reflection of your complete and unstoppable love for this person who grew in the midst of your tears and laughter, and who, if torn from you, would be like losing yourself.<br />
<br />
Thank you Kathy Lynn Harris for putting it all together and so rightly!!<br />
<br />
Sending a Happy Mother's Day wish to all Cooper's Grandma's for all your love from near and far <3</div>

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
Cooper had his 9-month (or should I say 9-month and 21-day) check-up today. He weighed 24 pounds, was 31 inches long, and fell into the 90th percentile for weight, height, and head circumference. All good news and the Doc always seems to assume before he even asks the question that Coop is eating well...wonder how that is!?!</div>

<br />
In the past month+ so many great things have happen...<br />
<br />
Great Grandpa and Great Grandma came home from Florida...<br />
<br />
Spring sprung...or maybe I should say recoiled :)...<br />
<br />
Cooper got a few greeting cards for St Patrick's Day and Easter with a little dough for his piggy bank. But mostly he just liked to chew on them.<br />
<br />
Cooper got 2 more teeth - on top - but not the front ones...he looks hilarious!! Almost like a little vampire baby...<br />
<br />
Our wonderful church - Harvest Bible Chapel Spring Lake - moved into a new to us building and lifted the cross back onto the buildings bell tower that had been removed several years ago. Cooper helped with the move and his picture is on display in the halls of the building. We celebrated the rising of the cross on Good Friday and then the rising of Christ on Easter Sunday along with 1,300+ people...<br />
<br />
Cooper has started to pull himself up on things and is getting really strong. I have started to lovingly refer to him as "Paul Bunyon"...<br />
<br />
He WISHES that he could walk everywhere but still has the wobbles of a drunken sailor...<br />
<br />
Cooper's strength means that he can move faster and farther and that he is getting into anything within reach...<br />
<br />
He started to hold his own bottle...<br />
<br />
He continues to LOVE food PERIOD!...<br />
<br />
Aunt Jane has continued to teach Cooper the fun stuff...<br />
<br />
He watched the Tiger's opener and even wore his hat for a few minutes...<br />
<br />
We took him for a swim with friends over Spring Break...<br />
<br />
Cooper and his cousin Parker have started to become fast friend...or as we like to say BESTIES!...<br />
<br />
We celebrated the birthdays of Hailey, Noah, Aunt Ashley, Uncle Tom, Aunt Jane, and 3 Great Grandmas...<br />
<br />
Cooper had his first official red velvet cupcake from "Uncle" Chef Lee and "Aunt" Crystal...<br />
<br />
He continues to enamor the ladies...<br />
<br />
I'm sure I'm forgetting a ton of fun things but here are some pictures to enjoy from some of those listed...<br />

But Cooper and I get to spend fun time together everyday. Yesterday I decided to catch some of that time on video. He always gets a little distracted when i bring the camera out, but he was still having fun...<br />

Still Growing...</h2>
Last Wednesday Cooper had a well baby check up and he just keeps on growing. He weighed 22 pounds and was 29 inches long. Since he was born at 9 pounds 10 ounces - he is now over twice his birth weight and he is 7.5 inches taller!<br />
<br />
These pictures are from October 1st. Coop was just under 3-months old and this was one of the first times I put him in his excersauer. It was ok, but he wasn't too sure :)<br />

And he never ceases to make me laugh!! Just 10 minutes ago he and Daddy were playing and he started to "yell" (I guess is was more like a low Ahhhhhhhh) and he just went on and on until Richard and I both looked at him and laughed out loud. He looked at both of us like "what...what"!! So much FUN!</div>

I'm excited to for them to be the best of friends :)<br />
<br />
Parker's house is in Grand Rapids so we have about a 45 minute drive to get there. Cooper usually spends the first half of the ride looking out the window and enjoying the scenery. But by the time we get there he is almost always sound asleep...<br />

Last Saturday, Cooper and I visited and we got to watch Parker for a couple of hours so his Mom and Dad could get groceries and have dinner out. He and I had a little cuddle time while Cooper napped.</div>

We were able to visit for so long because Richard was away at Winter Camp with the middle schoolers from Harvest Bible Chapel Spring Lake. We both missed his dad and Coop had a fun time playing with him when he got home. Listen to all the giggles...</div>

In all the days since my last post, Cooper continues to grow and learn. Tomorrow we have his next doctor's visit and I am excited to find out just how big he has gotten. He is sitting up very well, rolling both ways, starting to rock on his knees so crawling isn't too far off, but for me by far the most fun times have been high chair times. He is enjoying eating new things - like whatever we will let him put in his mouth, learning to click his tongue, and playing on his tray. Check this one out - don't miss the tongue clicks at the beginning :)</div>

A couple of weeks ago he tried rice - not rice cereal - but actual rice like what you get with Chinese food. He loves it! He had some again this weekend when I ordered shrimp tacos. We have expanded his baby food to include mangos and strawberries over the past week. We also purchased a mesh teething bag - he has already enjoyed canned pears and banana.<br />
<br />
His newest experience is baby puffs. He isn't quite big enough for a whole puff, but if I break off a small piece he can handle it. Tonight he was being so funny with them. I showed him how to pick them up, but he is still getting the hang of it. I put the puffs on his chair tray and every once in a while he would get one stuck to his hand. But he isn't quite coordinated to then get it in his mouth. But just once he happened to get one stuck to his thumb which he doesn't have any problem getting in. Now everytime he gets one on his hand he puts his thumb in his mouth thinking that he will get it in his mouth. It is also super cute to watch him "chew" on each little puff!! I had a fun little video, but am having technical difficulties. I'll save it for another day :)<br />
<br />
So his love for food continues...<br />

Growing Like a Weed</h3>
With Cooper coming up on his half birthday I thought I would share how much he has grown. All of the pictures are of him in his car seat...<br />

We are getting close to him being out of this seat all together - it was fun to look back and see how much he has grown!! Now if he would just get back to sleeping through the night :)CsTeasehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17319769539931631237noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-989276141361674897.post-74770782374387773902013-01-01T18:55:00.003-05:002013-01-01T18:55:46.891-05:00Happy 2013When I got ready to post today, I realized that December 17th was my last post. That is a long time. But our family said farewell to 2012 with the head/chest cold that is going around!! Richard brought it home from work a couple Saturday's ago and we are all still fighting symptoms. The worst is that Cooper has a stuffy head and bad cough. That means when we put him down for bed he can't suck his thumb and breath too and he coughs like crazy. He usually only lasts an hour or two before he's up crying and trying to fall back to sleep. After the first few nights of trying to sleep upright, we discovered that if he lays in bed with me on another pillow or the <span style="background-color: white;">Boppy</span>, he can fall back to sleep with a little prodding. Plus that means, I don't have to jump out of the nice warm bed 5 or 6 times to get him up and rock him back to sleep. However, it also means that Daddy gets <span style="background-color: white;">relegated</span> to the couch for about half the night. The doctor at Urgent Care told us the cough would likely last around 14-days...so thankful for a loving husband who does not mind the couch because it helps us all rest just a little better right now :)<br />
<br />
So over the past 14-days, there was Christmas Eve (when Richard was down)...Christmas morning (when we opened gifts as a family)...Christmas Day (when I was down)...Thursday (when I was still down, Daddy took Cooper to Urgent Care with Great Grandma Dot, he blew out his diaper, and ended up having his first sleep over without me even hugging him goodbye)...my birthday (when Cooper and I were both down)...and finally New Year's Eve (when we all went to bed by 9 pm). But through it all we've grown closer as a family and Richard & I have come to the realization that we really need to take better care of our bodies for our little guy's sake!!<br />
<br />
Looking back on 2012, there weren't any ups or downs that could outweigh the great joy and we had in receiving the gift of Cooper James into our family. So thankful for the sacrifices made by his birth families that allowed us to bring him home. So thankful for our family who supported us through the process. So thankful to our church family for all the prayers. Just plain THANKFUL for our son.<br />
<br />
In 2013...we look forward to his first tooth...his first steps...his first birthday...Richard's 39th...our 12th anniversary...his first words (other than dadadada which he loves right now)...his third haircut...his first visit to the beach or maybe the Children's Museum...our first Valentine's Day, St Patrick's Day, Memorial Day, and 4th of July together...plus we get to welcome a new nephew/cousin in the very near future. So many moments to choose JOY!!<br />

Baby Dedication</h3>
<br />
This was a very special weekend for our family. Sunday morning at Harvest Bible Chapel Spring Lake, we were part of the Baby Dedication ceremony. Much of our family was able to attend and support us in this act of obedience to God's Word. For those of you wondering, a dedication is not a baptism service...this will come later if/when Cooper makes the decision to surrender his life to the Lord. The dedication service is about the commitment Richard and I are making by God's grace -

that Cooper belongs first and foremost to God. God in His goodness gave Cooper
as a gift to us. We not only have the awesome responsibility of
caring for this gift, but also the wonderful privilege of enjoying His gift.
Because Cooper belongs to God and was given by grace as a gift to us, it
is only proper and appropriate that he be dedicated back to God. So Sunday morning, Richard and I and our families presented Coop before God and our church,
asking for grace and wisdom to carrying out our responsibilities. And to pray he might one
day trust Jesus Christ as Savior for the forgiveness of sin.</span></span></div>

So making this pledge in front of our church family was really just a way for us to proclaim publicly our already intentions. For me the most meaningful part of the service was when our church family was asked to stand and commit to <span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt; mso-font-kerning: .5pt;">encourage Richard and I to be faithful to God, </span><span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt; mso-font-kerning: .5pt;">to assist us as we teach and train Cooper

and draw him to Himself, that he would one day repent of sin and
place his hope and trust in Jesus Christ, through whom we have forgiveness of
sins. How awesome to know that we have the support of our Body helping and guiding and praying with us for our little guy!!</span></span></span></div>

<br />
This morning I knew that I wasn't taking Cooper anywhere too early. So we got to do one of my favorite things...sleep in together. Cooper slept straight through past 6 am and then started to fuss. Richard was in the shower so I crawled out of bed and brought Coop in to cuddle with me. By the time Richard finished Coop was getting hungry, so Daddy came and got him for his breakfast bottle. After his bottle Richard brought him back in to me for some more cuddle time. I wasn't sure if he would fall back to sleep, but after not too long his thumb went in and he went sound asleep. So I took the liberty to fall asleep right along with him :). We both slept til after 9 am. What a nice way to start a long crazy holiday week!! Probably later in the week we will take an afternoon nap together - hopefully he enjoys it as much as I do...<br />

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
After a long day at work I was excited to pick up Cooper and get home tonight. Right before we left Grandpa and Grandma's house I could tell he was getting hungry. We left quick because tonight was his first night for squash :). Mind you, we have been feeding him baby food for the past couple weeks and haven't come across any flavors that he doesn't like yet! We have done peas and green beans and pears all to his liking!! Ps - I do not like green beans at all and it really pained me to feed them to him, but he liked them. So on to squash - another of the very few veggies that I'm not crazy about. Well Grandpa and Grandma Ruiter, Grandma Hulst, Aunt Christy, and Cousin Andrew will all be proud to know that Cooper is a fan!! Check it out...</div>

It's hard to believe that Thanksgiving is tomorrow already. I'm in awe of how fast time is going and that our little Cooper is 19 weeks old already. This may come as a shock, but I'm THANKFUL for my beautiful wife and our son Cooper.

He doesn't know the law of physics yet...his leg is too short and his thigh is too large to get his foot that close to his mouth. That still hasn't stopped him from trying and getting "mad" in the process. In the last few minutes he has gotten the tip of his sock in his hand, and is pulling it towards his mouth. Come to think of it, I have the same problem...legs too short and thighs too large to get my foot in my mouth. :) Cooper has seen a few ladies his age at church who can pull this off and I think he's trying too keep up. <-- Funny! <br />
<br />
I love Wednesday's because Cooper and I get to spend so much time together. During the rest of the week it's come home from work, play with Cooper, eat dinner, play a little more, bathtime, PJ's, bottle, and off to bed. So Wednesdays are the mid-week day to relax with my son...and I love every minute of it. Today was going along smooth and Coop and I were relaxing as Dad was finishing eating his lunch and the Coopster had a meltdown. I was trying to figure why he was unhappy and then Candice called and heard him fussing. Whenever Cooper hears his Mom's voice on the phone, his eyes get really big and he can't figure out where it's coming from. So, after a minute of talking and his unhappiness getting louder, I had to hang up and talk my little guy down. Candice called back a minute later and was giving Dad tips on what might be wrong. It's been a few days since he had pooped a good one (yep I said poop) and she suggested a few things. So we hung up and I got up and noticed his shirt was wet and so was mine? We got to his room and I started to check his diaper and realized that we no longer have to wonder when he will poop because his whole underside and back have exploded gooooooop from his diaper. At this point I have to strip him down and give him a bath and I got the joy of changing my own clothes too! After we got all cleaned up he started to melt down again and I knew he was hungry. I made him a bottle and about half way through he falls asleep and then there was....wait for it...quiet!!<br />
<br />

That my friends is the pleasure of being a dad, father, and someone who loves his child more than words can describe. Even when the day doesn't go your way and you get pooped on, it's still a great day to be Cooper's Dad! All it takes is one look into his little brown eyes and you will be hooked forever!</div>

Lessons Learned</h3>
<br />
Being new parents there are a lot of lessons learned along the way...<br />
<br />
Like... you can no longer stay out past 7:00 pm because the baby knows when it is time to be home in pjs and getting ready for bed...we learned this one a couple times over!!<br />
<br />
Or, don't wait too long between feeding because when the baby is screaming it is much harder to make the bottle and he does have the ability to suck so hard the nipple with turn inside out!!<br />
<br />
And, always keep the diaper on when you start wiping down in the morning because that first hit with the wash cloth is enough to make him have to pee :)<br />
<br />
These are all good things to know...<br />
<br />
So, this week I learned that a #1 guard on the hair clippers is too short for a baby going into winter! My intention was to just take a little off the top because his hair was starting to get a little crazy up there. Unfortunately, it essentially turned into a scalping. Looks like we are going to be needing all of those hats I posted about a couple weeks ago...<br />

<br /></div>
<span class="style5"><span class="style8">Once Upon a time, a simple story...</span></span><br />
<span class="style2">The Little giraffe was born on the 25th of May in the year 1961. St Sophie's day! In those days, the only animal toys available were farm animals or pet figures. That is why one day in France, a certain Monsieur RAMPEAU, who was an expert in transforming sap from the HEVEA tree using the rotational molding of rubber as a toy-making concept, came up with the idea of designing a giraffe. <br /><br />Such an exotic wildlife figure would be a first on the market, and its size and shape would be ideal for a baby's small hands to grasp. Sophie the Giraffe, who looked exactly the same then as she does today, went into production on a Thursday, May 25th, whence her name. She was an immediate success. <br /><br />Young mothers straightaway saw that she was a must for their children when the first signs of teething appear, Sophie the Giraffe helps baby stop crying! By simple word of mouth, the little Giraffe's fame spread. From then on in Europe, generation upon generation of children were to love hearing Sophie squeak whenever they pressed her tummy and head! Vulli, a company based in Rumilly in the Haute-Savoie Region of France has continued to keep the jealously-guarded secret of how this wonder toy is made.SOPHIE is still "traditionally" produced to this day, a process that involves more than 14 manual operations. She is made from 100% natural rubber derived from the sap of the Hevea Tree. </span><br />
<strong class="style15 style8"></strong><br />
<br />
<strong class="style15 style8">Why is Sophie such a huge success? Sophie the Giraffe is BABY;S FIRST TOY, stimulating EACH OF HIS SENSES from the age of 3 months:</strong><br />
<br />
<span class="style15 style8">*Sight:</span> <br />
At the age of 3 months, a baby's eyesight is still limited and he can only make out high contrasts. The Dark and contrasting attention-catching spots all over Sophie the Giraffe's body provide visual stimulation and she soon becomes a familiar and reassuring object for baby.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span class="style15"><span class="style8">*Hearing:</span></span>Sophie the Giraffe's squeaker keeps baby amused and stimulates his hearing. To begin with, the funny sound Sophie makes when she is squeezed helps to stimulate baby's hearing, and then later, helps him to understand the link between cause and effect.<br />
