growing up fast




























mr. cope is acquiring skills at a lightening pace. he may just turn out to be a whiz kid of some sort. he is doing new tricks everyday and growing so fast! i can't believe he is nine weeks old already. dad taught him how to jump start the mower with the car battery and where to aim at the deer with a bow (with close supervision of course).


mom is working on colors, the alphabet, numbers and a little bit of spanish too. he is also working on his hand coordination.


we went for our 2 month check up last week and he weighs 12.1 pounds. he also had to get his first round of shots and he didn't like it very much. i think his dad liked it even less. he didn't seem to mind the oral rotavirus vaccine, although the nurse told us that most babies hate it.. i think he likes anything he thinks is food, as evidenced by being in the 60th percentile of weight and the 40th in height. the doc said that means he is a 40th percentile baby but that he just really likes his food!

Finally; an update. Nana was having withdrawals!! You are changing so fast. I can tell you are still working really hard. Love your little smile in your red and white baseball outfit. It is now on my desktop! Nana and Papa miss you little man. Thanks mom and dad (especially mom) for sharing with us. This blog is our lifeline. Love you all!

Mom, I forget to mention earlier that all southern outdoorsmen know that a "j" looks just like a fish hook.
