We were very camera happy during our first month with Cooper. Everything he did was so exciting to us as new parents that we wanted to "capture" every moment. We have a video monitor in our room where we can see him in his crib at night. It is now our routine to lay in bed with the monitor between us and just watch him in his crib. We laugh, we oohh, we ahhh, we worry.......yes, we are crazy, but we are new parents!!!! Here are a few pics from this wonderful first month.

 |
| Cooper loved his first Easter with his big cousins.....they were so sweet to him. |
 |
| My parents and their 4 grandchildren. |

| The circle of trust |
 |
| We were feeling artistic with the camera Easter morning:) |

These are my absolute favorite pajamas of his and he already grew out of them!! This picture was taken at 4am in the morning before we nursed while watching the royal wedding festivities. I wore a hat and Cooper wore his favorite pj's....can you say "dog gone cute?"
Eat your heart out Prince William!! |

| Here is Ben's lifelong childhood friend, Curtis. Curtis and his wife had their son, Silas in October. Here are the two babies meeting for the first time....don't cop a "tude" Cooper:) |
 |
| This was my first Mother's Day. I was so happy and you can see it in my smile:) |
 |
| I love that Ben and Cooper have the same hairline! Bald is beautiful in my book....love these two. |
 |
| Again, trying to recreate an artistic shot I saw somewhere. I think it turned out pretty good minus Ben's hairy legs. |
 |
| And here is the first of 12 monthly pbotos...let's watch how Cooper grows! He is one month old in this picture. |
 |
Major sweetness! My friend, Angie, got me these cute ties to use for his monthly pics.
In one month, Cooper went from 7lbs. 6 oz to 10lbs. 3oz. and 19.5 in to 22.5 in.
Next thing I know he'll be going off to college!! Just kidding, but wow, the first month went fast, but I enjoyed every moment. Cooper is teaching us how to be good parents and what is important in life. Thanks for changing our lives Cooper, all in one short month:) |
