Big Boy Laughs

Today Cooper had his first, real, big boy laugh!  It was amazing to hear and watch.

I was holding Coop right outside Eli's bedroom door when Eli ran up and started jumping up and down.  Cooper thought that was absolutely hilarious and started laughing. Not his typical chuckle and smile, but a full on, from the bottom of his toes laugh.  After calling Jess upstairs to see, Eli started jumping again and sure enough, there it was again.

It really isn't surprising that Eli is the one who got him to laugh.  Littlest man LOVES his big brother so much and always smiles at him.

We tried the same thing later today to see if he would laugh again and he just looked at the rest of us like we were crazy.  Apparently it's a once in a lifetime humor thing.


Oh, and just so I don't forget...
Cooper still has his cold.  We took him in on Friday because we thought he sounded raspy while breathing.  After Eli and his bout of Bronchiolitis when he was three months old, a raspy sound is not something to overlook.  We didn't get to see Dr. Agan, as he wasn't in, boo!  But we did see another very nice doctor.  She said his lungs were clear and his oxygen level was very good, but his ear canal was looking a little red.  She was confident that it would heal itself and not turn into an infection.  So far so good!

Because we were there and he's so little they still did a growth check.  He is currently 25 inches long and 14 pounds 4 ounces, exactly double his birth weight.
