Snow Storm

Our snow covered home

Dexter loves the snow!

We were finally able to get out of our house today. The neighbor was so kind to plow out our driveway and the city cleared our street. You know we have cabin fever when Jason agrees to go to Wal-Mart just to get out of the house. We are not sure what the final count is, but we have around 18" of snow and it is still coming down. Dexter was out playing in the snow while Jason was clearing the sidewalks. Cooper and I watched from his bedroom window.

Turkey Hangover

We just celebrated our first Christmas with Cooper, the weather kept us home for the holiday. We had about 10" of snow when we woke up and it kept on coming down all day. We missed our family but it was also nice to be at home. We had turkey and all of the traditional Christmas sides for dinner. We spent the rest of the day watching movies and napping. We went and visited the neighbors and delivered cookies. We walked through drifts up to our waist to make it out the front door.

We hope everyone had a Merry Christmas!

Cooper's 4 month checkup

Cooper had is four month checkup today. He is 13 lbs. 10 oz. and 25" long. He is in the 40% for weight, 70% for length and 90% for head circumference. He is starting to work on some teeth. He is always chewing on his hands. He is starting to put on some weight, you can really see it in his cheeks this week.

Cooper 4 months old

November was a long month for us, as you can see from the last three pictures we had many sleepless nights. Cooper got his first cold and then it turned into a sinus and ear infection. We went into the doctor over Thanksgiving and he weighs 13 lbs. 1 oz. On top of it all Jason and I both got sick. It is going o be a long winter for us

Cooper loves to look up at me and smile then he snuggles his head into me.

Grandpa gave him a new book that he absolutely loves. I think his eyes might pop out!

It was a big day for Cooper as you can see on his face. We went to Thanksgiving at my parents house and there were 23 people there. He was passed around all day with out a long nap. Cooper did really well with all the commotion.



When we got home he was running a low grade fever again so we took him in to the doctor and he has a sinus and ear infection. We have spent the rest of the long holiday weekend snuggling and sleeping. We hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Our 31st Birthday

Jason and Berit made me a cake today.

Friday night the celebration began with Jason and I going out for the first time on a date. Kari watched Cooper for us. We were able to squeeze in a movie and dinner. It was a relaxing evening away.

Cooper and Nolan had a good time together. Cooper went to sleep about an hour after we dropped him off and did not wake up. I thought for sure he would be up half the night but that was not the case.

Saturday I woke up early and made everyone breakfast in bed. Last night we had a few friends over to celebrate. Cooper was trying to go to sleep but there was to much going on. He was loosing the battle fast. He was sleeping a few minutes after everyone left.

It was a great day, thank you everyone for your birthday wishes.

Bed Time.......

Cooper and I were snuggling on the couch getting ready for bed. His eyes could not get any bigger. I was trying to get him to go to sleep. He was ready to play.

Great Aunt Wendy came to visit

Great Aunt Wendy came from Colorado this weekend to visit Cooper. Thank you for making time to see us. We hope you had a great trip!

Hockey Boys

Jason found Cooper a new hockey outfit.

Thank you Pat & Molly for coming to visit today!

Hanging out with Dexter

Cooper loves tummy time! Every time we put a blanket down for Cooper to lay on Dexter tries to lay on it first.
