This is Not For the Faint of Heart

Tomorrow marks the 6 week mark with Cooper. I have to admit that this whole parent thing is not the easiest thing in the world. Now, understand that I never expected this to be easy and I am openly admitting that Amanda does significantly more than I do most of the time.

Last night I got home about 6:30 and Cooper had been awake for a little bit. He ate his bottle and then Mimi and Pop came and visited for a little while. When they left Amanda and I ate and Cooper kinda played in the floor. All that sounds like a normal day. However, it was the first time that I got to see Cooper just really be fussy.

The part that is hard for me when Coop gets fussy is that I just really don't have a clue what he needs me to do. I know that he is uncomfortable or unhappy but I can't seem to figure it out. I want to make him more comfortable so that he isn't screaming, but that just never seems to happen. I guess we will just keep trying to figure him out. He is starting to be able to kind of manipulate us a little bit.  I don't know if he knows what he's doing, but he is doing something.
