8 Weeks Old Today

Our sweet boy is 8 weeks old today. I can hardly believe it. He is growing so fast and really smiling at us. He loves to snuggle and is happiest in the arms of his mommy and daddy. He gets so excited to see Josh when he comes home from a business trip. I am enjoying and relishing every single moment. Even these up all night parties that Cooper likes to host every night from 1am to 4am seem so precious. Thank you Lord for this most amazing gift and blessing.

Halloween Fun

I love that my mommy has pajamas

so much personality and a sweet spirit.

Splish Splash I was Taking A Bath

I am just going to lay here and cross my feet, okay?
Do you mind? Why do you always take pictures when
I am naked? Can't a baby have a little privacy?
Bath Time is too much fun!!!

Pumpkin Patch

Well, so here the story goes. We waited all day until Cooper was in just the right mood to go get his picture taken at the Agricenter Pumpkin Patch. He had been so smiley all day. Finally, the stars seemed aligned. So we dressed him up and raced up to the Agricenter to get the perfect picture. And wouldn't you know, as soon as we get out of the car, Cooper vomits all over his costume. No worries. Even though he seemed highly aggravated, we kept on with our plan. He became really fussy and wasn't digging this photo op. Doesn't he know this is his first Halloween and that Mommy has waited her whole life to have a little pumpkin? Obviously not. It is amazing what you will resort to to get the "perfect picture." I spotted a U-shaped gourd and thought I could lay him on it like a Boppy and get the greatest shot. Never mind the fact that it was hard and there were ants crawling around. We were on a mission. Well, we got a few pictures and then the unbelievbale happened. The battery died on the camera. Now those of you that know my husband, know that he is a camera/picture fanatic and always comes prepared. However, in the furor to get to the Agricenter, he left the camera bag at home with the extra batteries. So, not the day we had planned but a memorable one to say the least. And wouldn't you know, the cutest picture is one we got in our backyard before we left. Happy Halloween.

Friday Fun with our Little Man!!

We decided to have a photo shoot tonight and very few of them turned out the way I had envisioned. I never knew getting baby pictures could be so challenging. How does Anne Geddes do it? She makes it look so easy. He would always do the cutest smile right after we put the camera down. Cooper is really getting more alert every day and is such a BIG bundle of Joy. We love and adore him so much.

Daddy is Home!!

Josh went out of town for 4 days this week. That is the longest time that he has ever been away from Cooper. When he came home and picked Cooper up, Cooper was captivated by him. He couldn't take his eyes off of him. He kept smiling at Josh and was watching his mouth. At one point Josh kept sticking out his tongue, and I promise you, it appeared Cooper was mimicking him. I know that seems impossible at 8 weeks, but it sure seemed that way. Maybe a mommy's imagination. It looks like he is madly in love with his daddy. And I thought he only had eyes for his mommy!
