Happy One Month Birthday, Cooper!

Happy one month birthday, my sweet sweet boy. This past month has both flew by and dragged on. I cannot believe that my little baby is one month old already.. It seems like just yesterday I was being walked into the OR to meet him for the very first time. We cannot wait to see what the following months have to offer! Mama & Daddy love you so much, Little Man!

Dislikes: tummy time, sleeping in his bassinet and being buckled in the car seat

Milestones: starting to sleep for longer stretches at night!

Coop's first bottle

We love when Auntie Zibba comes to visit!

First Mother's Day

Well, we survived our second holiday, and made it to both family's celebrations! We started off our day by spending the morning with my family. My sister and nephews came over and we had a mini cook-out. We then proceeded to a late lunch at Drury Lane with AJ's family. I have nothing but amazing things to say about the spread that Drury Lane puts on. We go there every year before Thanksgiving with AJ's family, and it is just so yummy. The buffet is literally mouth-watering.

I had an amazing first Mother's Day, surrounded by family and my sweet boy. I am truly blessed to be that little boy's Mama. I couldn't have asked for a better day. Happy Mother's Day to all of the mamas out there!

Proud parent moment: We may have borderlined child abuse this weekend while making our Mother's Day gifts for the grandmas and great grandmas. With me being.. well me.. I decided to wait until the last minute to finish these projects.. which meant that Saturday night we were up until 4 am (Cooper was asleep for most of this madness, even though he was being tortured). Needless to say.. there is no easy way to get a hand/foot print.. especially hand print..with paint from a 1 month old. We gave up on making the flower on the plates out of his hand print after about an hour and a half of trying.. and smeared purple paint over EVERYTHING. However, after many many hours of trial and error.. we finished our gifts & I think they looked pretty sweet! Everyone loved them =)
