Cooper's Solution to Tummy Time!

As some of you may know Cooper is not the biggest fan of tummy time! Monday morning we went in to his room to practice a little tummy time and as soon as I put him down he spun out!!! It took me a second to realize he had turned over from his stomach to his back! He looked up at me with a HUGE grin on his face! I went to get the camera and let him rest for a minute. I put him back on his stomach and as you can see from the pics above he did it again!!!!

Tanner's finally here!!

Cooper and I before we took him to Uncle Brian and Aunt Tracy's house!

Tigger, Candace and Baby Tanner!

We have been anxiously waiting for Candace and Tigger's baby, Tanner, to get here since Cooper was born! Candace was induced yesterday and Tanner was 6 lbs 13 ozs and 19 inches long!!! We took Cooper to my brother and sister-n-law's house so they could watch Cooper while we went to the hospital! Afterwards Jason and I went to eat and it was so weird being without Coop!! We both missed him while we were gone! Coop was good for Uncle Brian and Aunt Tracy until around 8:30 pm and he had one of his crying fits! Uncle Brian and Aunt Tracy didnt seem to mind though!!! We cant wait for Candace, Tigger and Tanner to get home tomorrow (they live two doors down) so Cooper can FINALLY meet Tanner!

Family Visits!

Aunt Tracy, Cooper, Eli and Tyler

On Friday, Cooper's Aunt Tracy and cousins, Eli and Tyler came to visit! Cooper loves his cousins!!! Both of the kids are SO good with Cooper. Tyler is so helpful and is just like a little mama and Eli says "Cooper is his best friend." They usually come to visit at least once a week and we look forward their visits!

Cooper's first friend!!!

Me, Melanie and the boys!!!

Who is this kid on me!?!?

Learning to share!

I think he was telling Mason to move over!!!!!!!

On Wednesday Cooper and I went to lunch with some friends! Afterwards, Melanie and Mason came over to the house for the afternoon! Melanie and I were pregnant at the same time so the boys already knew each other!!!! Coop is about 3 weeks older! Mason tried out all of Cooper's toys and Melanie even had to go get the Baby Papasan Swing at Babies R US because Mason like it so much!

When One Door Closes, Another Opens . . . .

I can't believe it has been a year to the day that my Daddy passed away. I am so grateful for ALL the blessings in my life. I know how lucky I was to have my Daddy in my life. There are some people that never have that security I felt when my Dad was here. I could be anywhere in the world and call and he would come get me. There are NO words to describe how much I miss him. I know that he would be so proud of me and my son. I know that he watches over us each and every day. It is selfish to want him to be here with me right now, but I can't help it, I do. The saying, "When One Door Closes, Another Opens . . . " means so much to me. Last year I lost two babies in 7 months. I got pregnant with Cooper 2 months after my Daddy died and look what a precious blessing he has been to us. I believe he was the one that God chose for Jason and I to have as our son. I know life must go on and I know my son will help make that possible!!!!

Gotta love the Baby Einstein!

Today Cooper and I stayed around the house! I washed clothes and cleaned a little bit. Cooper played on his Baby Einstein. He loves being on his back but as soon as you turn him for "Tummy Time" he is done!!!!

Oh, What a sweet smile!!

Thursday morning Cooper and I were watching tv and I was trying so hard to make him laugh! He would look at me like I was a nut!!!! I turned my attention back to the tv and he started cracking up!!!!!

Saturday morning while Dad went to the Bass Pro Shop to buy a new gun safe, Cooper and I were playing on the floor!
