I haven't actually blogged about Cooper in a while, just posted pictures. So here's a Cooper blog...
Coop had a wonderful Christmas. He got so many nice things for Christmas and is enjoying ever single one of them. Thank you to those of you that sent presents - clothes, toys and everything else are fabulous.
On Christmas Eve we went to Fay and Jerry's for family fun. Cooper got some sweaters, a cute outfit and a wonderful book.
Christmas morning we got up around 8 and Cooper opened his stocking first. In his stocking he found wooden sea animals, a rain stick, rattle and finger puppets. After he opened his stocking we had a wonderful Christmas breakfast. When breakfast was done Cooper began his present opening frenzy. This frenzy ended one nap and 5 hours later... hehe. He had so much fun ripping the paper off of his gifts. He had to taste EVERY present before and after it was opened. I wasn't aware of this, but apparently wrapping paper tastes F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S!!!
We spent the rest of Christmas day relaxing in our jammies. We watched Coop's new movie - Horton Hears a Who... what a wonderful movie! I recommend that everyone watch it!
On New Years Eve we had a playdate with some friends and then Cooper proceded to get sick. He was perfect that morning and he played played played his little heart out.
In the afternoon he had 2 very loose bowel movements that were full of mucus, literally clear slimey mucus. But was still acting/playing okay. As we were leaving to go to Paul's sisters for NYE he started getting a little fussy, we chalked it up to him being tired and he slept the whole way there.
By the time we got to Beth's he had a slight fever 
We talked about going home but he kept right on playing, no fussies, crabbies, nothing. He did have another runny, mucusy diaper. That's 3 poopy diapers in one day... from a kid that usually goes every other day. And OMG does it stink!!! It's a horribly rancid, not a usual "poop" smell. Isn't that a sign of a virus? 
I thought I heard that somewhere And it's green.
He went to sleep/bed around 8:30ish... past his normal bed time but since we weren't home I didn't really push a bed time on him. We stuck with his milkies, laying in bed together routine (in my nephews room) at 7:30 but he wasn't ready for sleep so we got back up until he fell asleep in my arms on the couch at 8:20 while we were watching Twilight Zone. I took him in my nephews room and he slept there until 11:30.
Yep, my baby woke up just in time for the New Year!!! He was actually up, he didn't want to go back to bed and since we weren't home I didn't push it. I didn't want to make it more uncomfortable on him being in a new place and everything. So we all rang in the New Year together 
It was great to have the whole family there together at that moment. He even toasted with his sippy full of water 
His fever had gotten worse. I didn't have the thermometer and Beth didn't have one but I would guess his temp was 101-102, if not higher. We left Beth's house shortly aftrer 12:30. We were going to stay the night but decided with him being sick to just go home (neither one of us did much drinking and had stopped well before 12 so we felt comfy driving). We got home a little after 1 and worked on getting Coop in bed. He pooped AGAIN, same awful smell and green color. He was finally settled in his crib around 3. But was back up at 4. We got him asleep and back in his crib around 5 and he got up for good at 8:30.
He had a fever all night.
He doesn't seem to have a fever today, but has pooped his smelly green poop 3 times already today.We keep pushing milkies on him and water to make sure he doesn't get dehydrated, so far so good!
We are firm believers that diarhhea, fevers, runny noses, etc are the bodies natural way of ridding itself of infection so we are not worried about him at all. His body knows exactly what it needs to do to make him better and is working on it as we speak!
I hope 2009 treats everyone fabulous!! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!
