Cooper is 4 Months

My sweet little Cooper was 4 months on the 23rd of May. I cannot believe he is growing up so fast. Before I know it he will be as big as Mack. He is such a social butterfly, smiling all the time and laughing. He loves his big brother dearly. They are so sweet together. I am thinking that Coop will be rolling over in the next week or so. He has been trying really hard to get it done over the last couple weeks. We are all so in love with this little man!

Chilling in our Shades!!!!

We love our backporch time. In the afternoons we all go out there to chill out from the day. The only problem is the sun is so bright back there so we all need our glasses. Even Cooper wears some of Mack's old ones. As you can see, they are too big for him and move all over his face, but he is so laid back that he doesn't really care. I love these boys so much!!!!

Camera - Cheese

Mack loves to have his picture made with Cooper. A couple weeks ago after church he wanted me to make their picture together, so I put Cooper in Mack's lap and took the sweetest photo. The next morning he asked to hold Cooper and when I let him he told me "camera." This kid cracks me up (when he's not driving me insane)! Above are the pics of them on that Sunday and on Monday morning. They are so sweet to each other.

Mack had his Big Wheels Birthday Party this Sunday and it was tons of fun! Here he is with a couple of his friends.

Happy Birthday Mack!

Mack turned 2 years old on Friday, April 17, 2009. I cannot thank God enough for every minute that He gives me with this amazing little boy. Some people will say that their glass is half empty and some will say that it is half full, but I say that mine is overflowing, and it has been ever since this love came into my life. There are no words to describe how I feel when he runs to me, puts both hands on my cheeks, and says "a mama shug (sugar)" and then plants a big wet one right on my mouth. I am so fortunate and blessed that God chose me to be Mack's mom. Happy Birthday to the sweetest most loving child. Below is a picture of Mack on his 1st birthday and then a picture of him on his 2nd birthday. Where does the time go?

Cooper is 3 months

Cooper turned 3 months this week. It was his first week at daycare and mama's first week back to work. I think the first day was probably harder for me than it was for Coop. Mack is taking very good care of him at daycare. He tells everyone "my poop" when they ask him whose baby coop is. And, yes I know you are laughing but that is what he calls him, "poop" or "pooper". I hope it eventually changes. We are all so in love with this little man and cannot believe he is growing and changing so fast. I feel like everytime I blink my eyes life hits fast forward.
