Anderson Cooper’s son Wyatt turns 2

“His name is Sebastian, and I would like you to meet him,” Cooper said. “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.”

“Wyatt calls me ‘Daddy’ and Benjamin ‘Papa,’ " he said. “We’re a family. Benjamin is also in the process of adopting Wyatt, whose last name will be changed to Maisani-Cooper as well.”
