Cooper's first cold, first trip to Wisconsin & first time showing his werewolf alter-ego.

So we had been planning on taking a trip up to Wisconsin to AJ's family farm since Cooper was born, and finally had a weekend that the whole family could go. Of course, the night before we were going to leave, Cooper starting with this horrible coughing, which turned into coughing and sneezing, which by the middle of the night turned into coughing, sneezing, and a 103 degree fever. UGH! I was up watching him all night, taking his temp every 30 min, giving him Tylenol, rocking him back to sleep when his coughing spells would wake him up, and putting all natural vapor rub on his feet. Finally around 4 am his fever broke. We talked about if we should take the 6 hour drive up North or not with him having a cold, but decided that since his fever ad broken that we should be good, and would come back if it started up again. Well he certainly got a lot of rest on the way up there.. slept the whole time minus the 45 minutes we got out to eat! By the time we got up to the farm, he was doing pretty well, just had a stuffy nose & a little cough. I think the fresh air did him some mighty good because the next day he was back to feeling like a champ. However, we did have some MAJOR sleeping issues while we were there, and are hoping that they don't continue now that we're home.I'm going to blame it on the full moon that he wouldn't go to sleep until almost 1 am & was up every 30 minutes after that the rest of the night. Cooper James.. the werewolf.  


Poor sick babe on the way up.. 



With Cooper's tree that Great Grandpa planted for him on the farm! Can't wait to watch it grow! 





We had to stop at the Mars Cheese Castle on the way home! Yum!
