April 28th 2005

Cooper's not feeling well again. His temp is a little high and he's fussy, but he's not screaming like he was on Sunday.

Johnsonbaby dot blogspot dot com will be on a hiatus for a few days. I'm going to Louisville for a concert tomorrow with my uncle. Micole gave me a weekend pass away from the homestead. Hopefully, Micole will take plenty of good pictures of Cooper while I'm gone to fill the website when I return on Sunday. The pics below will have to do until then.

Nothing to say

I have nothing to say this evening, so I'm not going to say anything. So there I said it, here are today's pictures.

Today Mommy put Cooper in his crib. It's the first time he's slept in the crib.

Peaceful Evening

We spent the evening at Aunt Heather's where we had a peaceful dinner with Heather, the boys, Grandma Stella, Uncle Joey, and Aunt Donna.

Cooper's got a new girlfriend! An older woman no less. She's like 50 times his age!

Doing fine

Cooper had his one month visit to the doctor this morning. He weighed in at 10 lbs 9 oz. So he's definitely eating well. He's got about 18 years and 3 months to pack on another 220 lbs before he's ready to play outside linebacker for the Buckeyes. 19 years and 3 months if he redshirts.

I've started to make some changes to the website. I added a "best of" links to some of our favorite posts since we started in February. I'm sure more changes wil be coming in the days and weeks to come.

He's not as fussy today as he was last night.

One Month

Cooper made it to one month old, but not without a little excitement. We took him to the emergency room at Children's Hospital at 8 tonight. He vomited a lot last night (just once), and he was fussy and screaming when he wasn't sleeping and no bowel movements. So he really stressed Mommy out. Which then stressed Daddy out. Let's just say this trip was really for Mommy and not for Cooper. He's fine. He just pooped A LOT after we got home a little bit ago, which may have been a good portion of his problems.

The ER anklet for Cooper's first trip to the ER.

This is one of the few times Cooper wasn't screaming today.

Dobie was really bad. He got into the trash in the bathroom while we were at the hospital. I guess he's feeling neglected, so I'm putting him here so he can't say I didn't give him any attention.

Cold Morning

Mommy left for a few minutes to go to Walgreens yesterday and Cooper threw a fit.

Mommy came home and everything was alright.

The Pictures are back

I got the pictures back that I uploaded to Samsclub.com on Tuesday. The price was great. The quality of the pictures was average. Some of the pictures look much darker than they should, but on average they were all okay.

When I uploaded to CVS online, the pictures cost more but the quality of the pictures was much better. Some of the better pictures I will retry with CVS. I'm going to try the next batch of prints with Walmart.

Pappy came over tonight and watched Survivor with us. Not much really to report. Below are the evening's pictures.

Reds Beat the Pirates 6-4

Pappy and I went to the Reds game tonight. A friend gave me 2 free tickets and they were very good seats. Wily Mo Pena and Rich Aurilla both hit 2 home runs. I had a good time, but the whole time I was missing the Mini Cooper. I was having a little withdrawal.

I did see another Cooper at the game, though. Former Ohio State Buckeye head football coach, John Cooper was 3 rows up to the right of us. I'm glad I was there with Pappy and not my brother-in-law Mikey. He's a Michigan fan. I'm sure we would've been asked to leave. Mikey would be like "Hey Cooper. Michigan rules! What was your record against Michigan? 2-10 and 1? (Insert Mikey's sinister laugh here) If you mess with the bull, you're gonna get the horns!(Insert another 5 seconds of Mikey's sinister laugh here then he'd launch into the Michigan fight song, followed by the ushers pulling us out of our seats and escorting us to the gate). "

He really was a good coach, but he couldn't beat Michigan.

Mommy took some pictures of Cooper today, but she's not as good a photographer as Daddy. So there aren't many good pics today.

A slow day

I didn't get many good pictures of Cooper today. He was sleeping most of the time and I was busy uploading some digital pictures to Samsclub.com to get them developed, so Grandma Stella can fill her picture books (and thus won't beat me up). Sam's Club's photo center price is 17 cents per print. Not a bad price at all.

I wish I could of gotten a better shot of him in this outfit from Old Navy given to him by Grandma Barb.

Chicks dig Cooper

Cooper's been doing well lately. He even slept in his crib all night last night for the first time. It was a nice evening, so we sat on the back porch for a little while. UPDATE 10:10PM: The shirt was provided by the gracious and generous Aunt Kelly, AKA "The Chocolate Milk Pig".

Chicks dig him and he knows it. He doesn't need to advertise it though.

Classic Pics

Aunt Kelly came over this afternoon and she had me scan in some pictures. I had to include these here because they're funny.

Boys Morning In

Mommy had to go do some work for "Crayons for Computers" this morning, so today is the first time Cooper and I have spent an extended amount of time without Mommy. Mommy is a little worried, because she is a worrier. But everything's good. Bottles have been given, diapers have been changed, and there has been no need to call for the fire department or an ambulance. Below are some of our photos from this morning.

Dobie checks to make sure that this is the real Cooper D.

Taxes Done, Here's Some Pictures

I kept Cooper out of range long enough to get our taxes done. He seems to feel better tonight, but he can still get fussy on a dime. I haven't posted any pictures for a few days so I'm posting a few more than usual.

Cooper's cord fell of this week so he was able to take a full bath for the first time. He didn't seem
to enjoy it. This is the best picture we have of his second bath.

A Little Squirt

Cooper's still not feeling well, but I don't think he's doing as bad as yesterday. I took a half day off this afternoon to help Micole, because I knew she was very tired.

I tried to finish our taxes, but our printer is out of ink and it doesn't seem to work. I'm going to print it out from my dad's house tomorrow evening.

Micole changed Cooper on the couch this afternoon. When she took off the diaper, he proceeded to pee on the couch, getting a little on me and this laptop which was a good a 3-4 feet away. As I was coming back from the kitchen with a wash cloth and paper towels, he decided that he wasn't finished. He changed his aim and then peed all over the tax documents that I had spread across the floor, again making pretty good distance. I had already input most of the information, so thankfully I didn't need to go through all of the documents.

If I get audited it might make a good story for the IRS. Hmm... So you want to know why the paperwork smells like urine? Well, the papers are yellow for a reason...

Sick

Cooper's not feeling well today. Most of what he ate today came back up. He's pretty cranky, but I'm surprised he's not worse. Micole called the doctor and he said that Cooper probably has a stomach virus. Micole went and got Pedialyte why I watched the little guy. He cried a lot, but eventually he fell alseep while I sang to him.
