So grateful for our little boy


I have loved children since before I can remember. Every where I would go I would gravitate towards them. They make me smile and I am truly facinated by their faces, their sounds and everything about them. But I never knew how much I would truly love a child until I had Cooper. Every morning when I go into his room to get him he smiles at me and my heart melts. When the world around us feels like its falling I take a moment to hold my son and Thank God for this amazing gift that he has given Ryan and myself. I say this all the time but we are so blessed beyond words for Cooper in ourlives. Sometimes its hard for me to find the right words to express what life is like being a parent but I do know its what I was put on this earth to do.

I pray daily that the Lord will help us to raise Cooper and to be a good parents to him. I pray for wisdown, support and health. I pray that Cooper will always know how much we love him and are always here for him. We are very thankful for eachother, our family and friends and the importance they are to our lives and impacting Cooper's.

Cousins

We had a family get together this past week to celebrate my grandpa's birthday. Cooper got to meet his 2nd cousins Jensen who was born May 9th and Jane who is 22 months. We had a mini photo time with everyone taking pictures of them. I can't wait for the two of them to grow up together and always have a playmate at all the family functions.

Best Cousins:)

*So thankful for my Cousin and all her amazing advice and help she has given me

Need to do a better job of a blogger

I am sorry I have not posted as regular as I would like to but I have been taking tons of pictures to show you how much our baby boy is growing into this adorable little guy. These past few weeks he has been smiling, make noises, and recognizing voices and people. He also has been showing us how active he is going to be, constantly kicking his legs and moving. He looks like he is already riding a bike and kicking the soccer ball!

I am defientetly enjoying being a mom and I feel so lucky to wake up everymorning to his smiling face. Cooper has been a blessing to Ryan and I from the beginning and we are so thankful for our healthy little monkey.

Cooper's first trip

Over the Memorial weekend we traveled to Colorado to see Coopers Grandma and Pops. He did such an amazing job on the plane ride, slept the whole time. While we were there cooper visited his grandma's work and mainly just hung out. It was a nice time to get away and spend some quality time relaxing.



*Grandma had special time with him in the morning so I could get some sleep:)


*family photo time


*Grandma got him a carebear- the same one I had when I was a little girl

*Grandma gave him a bath- he loves bath time

We had a great time and he misses his grandma and pops already.
