2 months

I totally forgot to post Coop's 2 month update! I did get it all in the baby book so better than nothing :)


- 11 lbs 5oz and 23 inches long
- nurses every 3 hours
- wakes to eat every 3-4 hours overnight
- size one diapers and 3 months clothes
- found his hands and loves chewing on them
- favorite thing to do when awake is sit up and be talked to
- favorite thing when fussy is to be wrapped in a muslin blanket with a paci
- holds his head up for long periods of time
- so many smiles this month!

early learning

while most of this summer was super laid back and admittedly baby focused, I tried to put together a few "units" for Charlotte and I to learn about here and there. One of these units was bugs, she finds them wherever we go but only knew ant and butterfly so I decided to expand on that.

in the mornings while Coop is napping we come into the office/home school room and do calendar time, pick out work boxes to do together then she does independent reading or work boxes while I check email, do my Bradley class stuff etc.

In this unit we had a sensory bin with bugs, a color matching caterpillar, sight word card with letter matching, and cards on the light table with all different pictures of bugs. We also painted with spiders and went on a bug hunt

and here is a brother picture just because <3
