Happy Fall

Cooper went shopping for his very first pumpkin last weekend and slept through most of it. I painted each of us a pumpkin, even Harry dog!

Happy One Month Birthday!!

Cooper was a month old on the 13th!! It seems like it has gone by really quickly. He's such a good baby and he's pretty adorable, if I do say so myself. We are really truly blessed! He had his one month check up with the pediatrician yesterday. He now weighs 9.6 lbs and is 21 5/8 inches long!! Mommy's milk must be pretty yummy. He's growing so fast and he has changed alot in a month. This month is when he will start giving us a social smile and cooing back at us, so much fun- I can't wait!
Dennis stayed with Cooper by himself for the first time last night while I went to my Mary Kay meeting. They were both fast asleep when I got home and Daddy survived! Dennis's business has stayed very busy and he has even hired his first employee who started on Monday. That's a pretty exciting step for MTTS! We are also selling our house as we look for land to build on or a a house with some acreage and room for a shop building so he can have a place of his own for the service truck and extra tools.
I guess when we have major life changes, we go all out!

Party Time

It's been an exciting weekend. We went to Edmond Saturday evening with Cooper and stayed with Morgan, Shawn, David, and Grace. Today was David and Grace's first birthday party and they got all kinds of noisy toys! Cooper slept through all the excitement, though. We really enjoyed getting to hang out with Shawn, Morgan, and the twins!

More of Cooper

Here are some more Cooper pics! Daddy is getting the hang of things, he's fed him some breast milk from the bottle, burped him, and even changed a few poopy diapers- he's a pro now!

Cooper likes to hang out with Mommy in his papasan chair and I read to him a little while he just watches me, it's so peaceful to do that. I still can't believe we're parents!! He's such a little miracle.

At Home

We are getting settled in with little Cooper. Here are a couple of pics we've taken and I'll have some more from family from his first day very soon.

As you can tell, Daddy is very proud of his boy and they are so sweet. Cooper is not too happy about sponge baths.

Daddy and Mommy took him to his first pediatrician office visit yesterday and he is doing great. He also got to make his first shopping trip to Babies R Us and out to lunch. He slept the entire time after the doctor visit until we got home! He sleeps very good, we are so lucky and he's a good eater too!

Cooper Lee Rains

I was scheduled to be induced on the 18th if he didn't arrive sooner, but the boy decided to get here early on his own.
We welcomed baby Cooper Lee to the world on Thursday, September 13th at 2:22am. He weighed in at 7lbs. 5 oz. and measured 18 1/2 inches with a full head of dark brown hair!!
He is adorable, if I do say so. We are all doing great, we came home Friday evening and got all settled in. (:

Waiting

Well, we've just made a little bit of progress since last week, but still waiting for the baby. The doctor said today that we are both doing good and we are going to go ahead and schedule for me to be induced probably about the 18th if I haven't had him before then. (That's only 2 days before my actual due date) He could really get here any time in between at this point. So, now we just have to wait and I'm finding all kinds of little things for me to finish up and keep me busy until then.
