Cooper-4 months (7/28/14)

We have lots of helpers during bath time

Berkeley decided to make use of all that hair & gave Cooper his 1st Mohawk!

Cooper is 4 months and doing great.  He is full of smiles and makes us laugh all the time with his cute little noises and expressions.  What a joy he is to our little family.  We love him sooooo much!

Hanging out with brother, watching TV

Getting burped by big sister

Cooper is 3 months old and the kids are still head over heals in love with him.  The 1st thing they do when they get home from school is hold him & snuggle for the rest of the afternoon.  He is one lucky and very well loved little baby!  He adores them just as much as they do him.

Family Pictures 2014



Gorgeous Girls



Beautiful Boys

 

 

In November, 2014 we took our first "official" pictures as a family of 6.  Thankfully the weather cooperated and everyone else did too so it went well.  Everyone had to take a turn posing with Cooper.  Wow, how our family has grown in the last 9 years.  Quite a group we've got.  Can't believe my little "Peanut", "Bean", "Button" and "Scooter" are so big.  How time flies.  Wish I could stop time & freeze each and every one of them.



Cooper's 1st Haircut

 

 

On Christmas Eve, December 24, 2014, Tom gave Cooper his 1st hair cut.  I'm not sure what possessed him to try to cut it with a scissors, but he tried and the results were disastrous!  When I walked into the bathroom, I said, "Holy Moses!  You ruined my baby!"  And then started laughing so hard I had to sit down on the bathroom floor.  Cooper was a great sport...he just sat there grinning while we laughed so hard we almost wet our pants.  I had to get a picture of it before he fixed it.  It reminded me of Jim Carrey's hair in that movie "Dumb & Dumber."  I seriously had a hard time holding the camera still because I was laughing so incredibly hard.  Sweet little Cooper just sat there and smiled at me.  What a cutie!  The kids didn't recognize him the next morning when we got him out of bed and were really mad at us because all his hair was gone.

 

 

All Fixed! Whew!

 



Christmas 2014

 

Christmas 2014 proved to be another fun one!  The kids had an awesome time with the cousins on Christmas Eve.  They decorated a gingerbread house, ate tons of candy and opened tons of presents.  Went home, put them all to bed, stayed up way too late getting ready for more fun the next day and then did it all again the next morning.  Cooper enjoyed all the chaos and was happy to let all his "helpers" show him how to open all his presents since he doesn't really care about all that yet :)  The kids were so excited to show him all his gifts.  It was pretty cute to watch them with him.  They all scored new bikes from Uncle!  What a great Christmas!!  It was fun, EXHAUSTING, but fun and in another short year, we'll do it all again!
