New Friends for Cooper

A friend recommended that we take regular photos next to the same stuffed animal to monitor and share how big Cooper is getting. Here's the Week #1 photo with his new alligator (crocodile?) friend.



For Cooper's first Valentine's Day, his Daddy got him... wait for it... a rubber chicken. According to Alan, "It's never too early for gag gifts."

This weekend, more of my family came to Tuscola to see the new kiddo. And they must really want to see him because we're still in the middle of a bathroom remodel project that started the day before Cooper was born (he was 11 days early, remember -- we didn't plan this), so we have no shower in the house. They didn't seem to care, and were at least polite enough not to tell us that we smell.

And, lest you think Cooper is always sleeping, here's a picture from our "awake time" yesterday.
