“This is Sebastian Luke Maisani-Cooper. He was 6.8 pounds at birth and he was healthy and happy and even his occasional hiccups, are to me, adorable. He mostly just sleeps and eats and certainly poops, but he already seems like a wise and thoughtful little chap.”

Cooper then announced he would be taking the next couple of weeks off to focus on his family, and enjoy spending time with his two sons. “I wish you all love and laughter, good thoughts, and happy days.”

“Wyatt is thrilled,” added Cooper about his 22-month-old.

Cooper also said that in lieu of sending gifts for Sebastian, viewers, friends, and anyone else thinking of doing so should look into donating those items to local organizations instead for those in need.
