This is Cooper's day
He's got it so easy. He doesn't even know it. Yet. His day is just lounging around with free meals and plenty of hugs and kisses. Freeloader.

Another day with some more pictures of Cooper
The standard Cooper in his chair picture.
Video and photo sharing made simple by JussPress.com
Cooper likes to be held, A LOT, so getting him to calm down in the high chair is a difficult task.
Video and photo sharing made simple by JussPress.com
He's really been enjoying the amazing discovery of his feet lately. They haven't gone in his mouth yet.

Mommy went out to go shopping tonight for about an hour and left Cooper with Daddy. I assure you the pictures I took from that time period have been burned and I leave you with these much happier Cooper pictures from Mommy's return home.
Video and photo sharing made simple by JussPress.com
He wasn't that bad while Mommy was away. Just a little fussy. I was even able to feed him almost a full bottle tonight.
Video and photo sharing made simple by JussPress.com
Mommy got Cooper a new bouncy chair and this one actually does bounce instead of just vibrating.

Power Outage
The power went out as I was posting last night. I'm posting a few photos now so Grandma Stella and Aunt Kelly don't get mad at me.

Looks like Cooper is planning something. (Updated thoughts - couldn't resist in italics) Hmm.. So now that I have bent the will of these two people to my desires...
Video and photo sharing made simple by JussPress.com
He just looks mischievous. (Update) ...I will work on the rest of these weak minded humans...

(Update) and my plans for world domination will soon come to fruition! (insert evil laugh here)

Needed Baby Inventions
My boss came up with this idea the other day to write a book about needed inventions. We were just shooting the breeze at lunchtime. We brainstormed a few good ideas for babies/toddlers.
1. The Bottle Harness (tm) - It seems like everytime I'm bottle feeding Cooper, the phone rings, I have an itch that I have to scratch, I want to drink my beer, or I want to change the channel on the tube (and sometimes all of these at the same time). The solution is for the baby to wear this harness which would have an adjustable/moveable arm in the middle that would hold the bottle. You could then adjust the arm so the bottle goes into the baby's mouth, freeing one of your hands for other things. This would sell millions. Especially to new Dads.
2. A diaper that changes color based upon the level of change necessity. Micole can tell by touching the diaper if it needs to be changed. I try to tell the difference in feel, but I can't so I need a diaper that changes color. If it's #1 it turns green. If it's #2 it turns red. If it's a just a little bit of #1 it's only a mild green, but if it's a lot then it's a darker green, so you know that you really should change the diaper. It says on the diaper boxes that they can hold up to like 12-18 pounds, so you better be getting your money's worth.
3. The Slobber Guard (tm) - I imagine this to be like those lampshades dogs wear when they get neutered, but a little smaller and only in the front. So when the baby is dripping it all flows into the Slobber Guard (tm). There could also be a tube with a suction pump that moves the fluid into the diaper when there is an excessive amount of fluid. Plus you're getting your money's worth on the diaper.
4. A better bouncy chair - Cooper doesn't really care for his swing and his bouncy chair really only vibrates a little. What he does like though, is bouncing on Daddy's knee. Daddy is old and out of shape, so 10 minutes of this really tires Daddy. A chair that had this same motion would be great.
5. A noise cancellation device. Some high end automobiles have these to cancel out the engine noise for a smoother sounding ride. I think this concept could work for parents as well. Sometimes you just need a few minutes of peace. The phone rings and the little guy goes nuts. Press the noise cancellation device to block out the high pitch screams of your little one and you can still talk to your friend. My wife thought this one would be a little cruel for babies, but I think there would definitely be a big market for parents with teenagers.
I wonder if anyone else has some good invention ideas.

The Early Edition of Monday's Photos
Cooper got really fussy just before bedtime last night. So Daddy and Mommy didn't sleep well. I decided to take a half day to get caught up on some sleep. So I have a couple of pictures from this morning to post.

I think it may have been a digestive issue, but there's no relief on that account yet. He's fine and happy this morning. I'm still tired even after the extra hours of sleep. Normally, I'm charged and ready on Monday and wear down as the week goes on. Today feels like a Wednesday morning.

Slippery When Wet
Cooper has become a real slobbering fool lately. Mommy jokingly says maybe we got a lemon at the hospital, because he's got some leaky valves. It's not so bad, you just have to watch where you're stepping, especially on the linoleum.
This is what I saw when I awoke this morning.

He struggled at first with the bottle, but after calming down he was able to get most of it down.

Some Video
Cooper has started to be more vocal. He shows a little bit in this video. The rooster sound that you hear is Daddy. Usually if I make some baby babble noise he'll talk back a little bit to me. He even likes it when I do it.

Today Cooper had his first successful time on his stomach. We tried a few times before today, but he'd cry every time.

I've been tagged...
by Jacaroo for a meme game "5 Things that I miss from my childhood".
1. I miss having the energy to run and play all day every day. Now walking a mile on my treadmill wears me out.
2. I miss enjoying all of the little things. When you're little, it's like "We're going to McDonald's? Awesome!" or "We're having ice cream? Awesome!" or "We got a new goldfish? Awesome!"
3. I miss summer vacation. 'Nuff said.
4. I miss the value of a dollar. If I had ten dollars in my wallet when I was a kid, I was rich. That was all of the money in the world. Now it's not half of a tank of gas.
5. I miss my childhood friends. You grow up, go away to college, get a job and everyone else does the same. I rarely run into anyone I know from my school days and I still live in my hometown.
The bloggers I tag for this meme are: Poppymom, Start-Up Dad, BIYF, and Eric at More Diapers.

At least the water's not yellow
Cooper demands higher wages, a 36 hour work week, better health care and working conditions, corporate accountability, lower income taxes, more frequent diaper changes, and free beer for Daddy.
