Some Updates

Cooper likes peas!  He hates carrots.  He also loves oatmeal and rice cereal.  I can't wait to feed him other flavors and see what he likes.

He's in the 40th percentile for weight, and 80th for height.  How come he's not off the charts like my other two were?!?!

Cooper has slept through the night EVERY SINGLE NIGHT since last Friday night.  I have NO CLUE why or what changed, but my goodness...I feel awesome, and Cooper wins the most amazing baby award!  We eventually made Ethan cry it out and Madeline was still waking up 7 times a night at 6 months...yeah, Cooper is my amazing baby!

My other two are really cute too.  They both like peas AND carrots!

And now to completely change the subject...

I am allergic to my wedding ring.  Like, EXTREMELY allergic.  I am also depressed given this situation.  I've known for several years that I was allergic to the nickel in the white gold, but the allergy has been getting worse each time the rhodium plating wares off.  This last time, my finger looked like I got a chemical burn.  Blistery painful patches...OUCH!!!  It's been like 6 weeks without my ring and my finger is still aggravated, itchy and blistery.  The cold dry weather along with the hot hot water I wash bottles in has made it nearly impossible to heal.

I love my ring.

I am very attached to it.  I hate not wearing it.  And I don't think I ever can again.

I think we'll eventually trade it in for platinum which is hypoallergenic.  When it can fit into our budget and when my finger isn't so aggravated by everything.  But I don't want some new fancy smancy platinum ring.  I don't care about that.  I just want my ring.  My setting is the prettiest.  (Sorry everyone else, it's true!).  There just aren't any platinum settings that compare to mine...

Boohoo!

That's my sob story.  But hey, at least I have a really cute baby who sleeps through the night.

Yea good job Cooper!! Ryder is my smallest too, and Quinn hasn't been off the charts either last I remember-- so those last three boys are just trying to be the same :)

So sorry about your ring that would make me so sad too.

I was wondering about your ring. You mentioned it quite a while ago. That stinks. :( So, so sad. Very sad. Could you pay to have someone copy it & create it in the new medal?

you could tattoo your wedding ring on :D lol. sorry, that stinks though. But it will be such a nicely preserved heirloom someday. I'm always a fan of a simple, thin band so perhaps that can be more affordable?

yay for sleeping children! Gray LOVED carrots, hated green beans, was neutral towards peas. but he hated fruit even more than green beans. he's a weirdo.

You could wear the ring as a necklace??
