Cooper's First Day at Daycare

Taking off to pass out toys.


Cooper sharing his toys. Such a sweet boy!!!


Cooper started Mother's Day Out at a church in town today. He will go two days a week. We went ahead and put him in so we did not miss a chance to enter him since there was a waiting list several months ago. Scott will also have some time to look for a job and if he gets one I plan on working two days a week.
The ladies said he did great! When we got there, he got down and started giving toys to all the other kids. I am so proud of myself, I didn't even cry. I figured I would cry like a baby considering I have never left him with anyone other than family. He was sure tired tonight though. He only took a 30 minute nap today and was ready for bed early tonight. He went right to sleep. I think he will enjoy being around the other kids and I feel good about it. They have a curriculum that they have to follow and teach them baby sign language, shapes, and colors.

Cooper's Surgery

This is a video of Cooper after they gave him "Silly Juice". They gave him a nose spray to help him relax before they took him back. You can't really get the full effects from the video because all the noise but he was just laughing and he was kind of flaccid. It was too funny! His surgery all went very well. They just had to give him gas to put ear tubes in and not the full anesthesia. He left our arms and was back to us kind of groggy in 15 minutes. Thanks for all the prayers!!! Please continue to keep him in your prayers that the tubes will prevent further ear infections!

15 Months

Cooper is 15 months old today. He is our little bundle of joys and brings a smile to our face each and every day. I can't express how thankful I am that God has blessed us with Cooper. He is such a mess and has to be doing everything we are doing. He is becoming very independent as you can see int he picture below. He now feeds himself with a spoon, repeats alot of what we say, is starting to run a little, and loves to climb.
On another note please keep Cooper in your prayers! He is going in Friday to have tubes put in his ears. They say it is a very quick and easy process but moms always worry. We pray that the tubes will prevent further ear infection. Over the past year he has had almost one every month.

This is Cooper in his new play area. We turned our breakfast nook into a play area for Cooper. He has gotten too many toys to keep out in the living room.
