We are truly having the best time with our little guy! There are still plenty of days where I wish we had our parents right next door to help with some of the little things but we make do just fine with the help of great friends and the grandparents usually make it over once a week. At this stage Cooper is growing so quickly if you miss a week you miss alot of change it seems like.
Well, we are officially counting down the time until I return to work. I imagine it will be a happy and a sad day all rolled into one. A neighbor will be keeping Cooper 5 doors down from us so dropping off and picking up will be fairly simple. She is great with him and he seems to like her too ;) But let's be honest....he loves anyone that will hold him and love on him. I know she will do both and is so excited about keeping him for us.
I am having mixed feelings about Tuesday but I feel like I need to return to work use the skills I have worked so hard to aquire and build for my current position. I am hoping that I can have success at work and at home as we head into this new phase. I know that I have so much to offer at my job and I do enjoy the position and it is not often you get to work for a place like I do with a flexible schedule and fun environment. I also know that I have alot to offer as Cooper's mom and I know that my dedication to that will never change even when I return to work. My family comes first and I feel like I work for a place that will respect that. I hope that the time I spend away from Cooper will make me all the more grateful for every second I get to soak up with him when I am at home. He is gonna be smothered with kisses and snuggles when I get home each day ;)
He is really getting so big! He is almost outgrowing his 0-3 months clothes and he is not even two months yet! He can hold his head up really well and pushes off of things like crazy. If you have not got a good grip on him he could definitely be headed somewhere in a hurry! He has a temper for sure and let's you know when he is not down with what you are doing ;) At the same time when he is being sweet and looks up at you with those big eyes and sweet cheeks and double chins it melts your heart ;0
We are also really enjoying the happiness that he brings to our other family members and close friends. We love sharing him with family and friends and seeing them love on him. I could say so much on this subject of mommyhood but I won't bore everyone. I will just say that being a mom is one of the most rewarding jobs I know I'll ever have. The sweet smiles and slobbery baby kisses make my world perfect every day.

Bri, I will be thinking of you all and praying for you as this new transition approaches. I think that I prayed the most for routine during those first few weeks of being back at work. It sounds like you have an ideal situation lined up for little Cooper. I am so happy for all of you and the ways that God has blessed your sweet and precious family with baby Cooper. I pray God's continued blessings for each and every one of you.
I will be thinking about you and praying for you as you transition into this new stage and get used to trying to balance it all. I'm thankful that you have such a great situation with childcare. Sounds perfect and I'm sure it will make it easier to leave him. I love his picture on the side of your blog! He is so sweet! :)
I'm so glad that you're gonna have such a wonderful person to keep him during the say! That is such a blessing! I know that has to be a difficult decision but I know that God is gonna take are care of ya'll no matter what. Love your sweet family!
Bri- just wanted you to know that I am thinking about you as you go back to work over the next few weeks. I am so glad you have a work situation that you enjoy so much!
