Catching up....

I have a lot of catching up to do!  Here is a quick look at the last three weeks.

Uncle Cale, Aunt Annika, and cousin AJ came up from Killeen, TX to meet Cooper


Daddy gave Cooper his first bottle while Mommy went to play bunco.  He has had a bottle a few times and has taken very well to it. 
Sleeping peacefully....
With Uncle Todd wearing the "My Uncle Kicks Butt" onesie he bought for Cooper.
Four generations of family......
He's a wiggler!
My sleeping boys....
Our family at the Titan Pageant.  Congratulations Emily Ms. Titan 2009!
First mohawk - of course daddy did it!
Getting use to his swing....
4 weeks old - My baby is growing!
Look at that smirk.  It cracks me up!
I love his big blue eyes!
Cooper's sleeping situation is much better.  He is in bed at least by the 11pm feeding if not before.  He wakes up every 3 hours or so to eat.  He sometimes puts up a fight to go back to sleep but he eventually zonks out.  That is very doable for us!  We are so glad he isn't wide awake in the middle of the night.  He is awake more during the day and starting to smile.  He is overall a very good baby.  He is so much fun!

I LOVE staying home with him right now.  I have back to work on April 20th to finish up the last month of school.  I don't know how I am going to be away from him.  I can't even think about having to go back in August!  I am trying to treasure the time I have with him now and not waste it thinking about how I have to go back to school.  So on a positive note I have a month and a half left at home with him and I'm going to make the best of it!

He is beautiful. I wish that we could be there to hold. Luke is coming over for Jake's wedding, so I will need him to give Cooper lots of cuddles for me. I'm so glad that he is sleeping better, I know how much easier things become when you can get some good sleep.
