Cooper's Newest Photo Session

Cooper had another session with Erin Stoll - our fabulous professional photographer. She's amazing! We're off a tad - this should have been his 6 month appointment - but it was actually about 7-1/2 months. Here's the link, login and password. Have fun!

It's Official! Adoption Day!

Today's Cooper's Adoption Day!

Chad, Cooper and I went before the Judge in Seward County today. We swore under oath to love him forever and to tell him forever that we are his Mom and Dad.

It's the perfect day and EVERYTHING we've ever dreamed! Actually better than we ever imagined!

Such a wonderful day. So many emotions, that can't even be described.

We can't believe how amazing God's blessing is in our lives. We see His work, blessings and incredible Love and Grace everyday when we look at Cooper.

The love we feel for Cooper, our friends, our family and Cooper's birthparents is overwhelming!
Thank you all for your love and prayers and support.

Here's to FOREVER!
Love,
Chad, Kiersten and Cooper Hill

Mickie Helps Cooper Crawl and Bowl

This next video is for the dog lovers out there. Mickie (Cooper's 10 month old Golden Retriever) was trying to get in on the Penguin Bowling action tonight. And, Cooper was trying to get her. I thought it was cute!

Enjoy baby and puppy lovers!
XOXO,
Kiersten

Cooper playing with his favorite toy!

I'm going to post 2 more quick videos!

This one is Cooper in his Bright Starts Activity Center. I've told so many people about this toy. It is the BEST toy we have in the house. He loves it. It holds his attention and we can't believe how he can run around the table now. It's great! Click here for a link to the Activity Center on ToysRUs. But, you can also find it at other toy and discount stores!

I highly recommend this as a gift for your favorite baby this holiday season!

Take care,
Kiersten

Update on our big baby!

Hello everyone! Here's the latest update to the Hill Baby Blog.

Our big guy is over 20 lbs. He has 4 teeth (three on bottom and one on top) and another poking through on the top.I think the recent round of ear infections are cleared up (for all 3 of us) and he seems to be back to his normal happy-guy self. (Unless he's hungry - then he's found screaming at the top of his lungs to be very effective!)

Here is Cooper helping Daddy with his homework. Big helper!

The picture above is a photo I didn't think I'd ever see! This is our Goddaughter, McKenzie Jo, taking a bath with Cooper when we were visiting them earlier this month. McKenzie is our miracle baby! They're the best blessings I've ever imagined!

BIGGEST UPDATE:
He's starting to crawl so close - but really starting to figure it all out!
WOW - ready or not - here we go!
This video is kind of boring, but shows how much he's changed. He was Penguin Bowling tonight. Not sure who was having more fun Cooper or me?



Have a great week!
The Nebraska Hills

If you have extra time -- here's a link to lots of new pics on Kodak Gallery!

Happy Halloween Cooper!

Here are pictures from Cooper's first Halloween!

As you can see - we had a family theme.
Cooper was a hot dog.
Mickie and Morgan were hot dogs too.
Chad and I were Ketchup and Mustard.

As you can tell, fun was had by all!

Here's an attempt at a 7 month photo. He didn't really want to cooperate. Remember the first month or 2 when he just laid there and kinda smiled?!?

And, a video of his bath this morning!



Happy Halloween!
Love,
Kiersten, Chad and Cooper
