Greatest Husker Game Ever!

Last night on the way home, Chad and I decided that we've never had more fun in Memorial Stadium! Cooper went to his first Husker game tonight and we all had a great time. Here's the link to our Kodak Gallery album, all of the pics from the day are there. But, I'll post some of the best here. Stay tuned for a great video clip in a later post!

More in the next post! I can only upload a few at a time! :-)

Isn't he the cutest Husker ever?

Cooper Makes Noise

Here's a quick video of the little man in his swing this afternoon.

He was talking and making all kinds of great sounds. I just thought it was too cute!

Have a great weekend,

Kiersten, Chad and Cooper

Cooper loves food!

We started feeding Cooper a little baby food mixed with cereal. I say "a little", but what I really mean is a whole container at a time! He loves it! We've been through squash and now green beans. We'll need to check out the baby food aisle on our next trip to the grocery store so we can plot our next yummy treat. I'll post a couple of pics of him eating his food/wearing his food.
Squash...
Must make you sleepy?

But beans......

Are so good, you clean the whole bowl!

Here's the link to all of these pics at Kodak Gallery if you really want to check them all out -- his 5 month pics are here too!

Have a great weekend - Go Big Red!

Cooper and his puppy

I always preface things by saying, "I know I'm biased but...." In this case, I shot a quick video that I think will melt the heart of dog lovers. Cooper has discovered his puppy. Mickie is the 7-1/2 month old Golden Retriever that we brought home 2 weeks before we got the call to pick up Cooper. The first few weeks were a little wild, but she's mellowing out and turning into a TERRIFIC dog! Here they are playing together this afternoon.

Have a great weekend!

Love,
Kiersten

5 Month Cooper-Star!

Here's a quick post with the newest pictures of the Cooper-Star! He's doing great, growing and thriving. He's a strong little bugger! Still only rolling from his back to his stomach, but I think he'll be rolling all over in just days. He's even thinking about pulling himself up on things - WOW! I hope we're ready for this!
Hope everyone's doing great!
Kiersten, Chad and Cooper

Cooper had a great time cheering on the Huskers during his first televised Husker game. Go Big Red!

This is one of his 5 month pics. He's so cute, look at this crazy guy hair!

Why is he sucking on his toes? Because he can, and besides right out of the bath, your toes are as clean as they get!

This is the perfect picture of Cooper. A sweet little grin, such a funny, happy baby. We're so blessed!

Super Cooper

Life is about to get even more interesting! Tuesday, August 12, Super Cooper rolled over!
Now he rolls over whenever you put him down. But he still gets quite angry when he has to spend too much time on his tummy. I guess if he gets mad enough, he'll figure out a way to go back the other way.

I shot this quick video clip tonight. To save time, I helped him get started, but he can do it all on his own. He's pretty cute!

Enjoy!

Cooper 4 Months and Texas

Cooper celebrated his 4 month birthday and we left the next day to take an airplane to Dallas! We visited some of my cousins and celebrated my Great-Aunt's 94th Birthday. It was a wonderful trip!

Chad and I took Cooper to the Dr. today for his 4 month check-up. He's a BIG BOY! 17.5 pounds and 27 inches tall. That puts him in the 90th Percentile for both weight and height. WOW! He is just such a good baby. He eats good, sleeps great and constantly entertains us!

Enjoy the newest pictures.
Love,
Kiersten (Coop and Chad)


This is Cooper's Chris Farley impression.
Contrary to what this photo says, we did NOT gate check the baby. Just the car seat and stroller.
I took Cooper swimming every day we were there. The first night he kicked back, fell asleep and let me pull him around the pool! He loves swimming!
Here's Nickel reading Cooper a story after he woke up.

This is Cooper and my mom's first cousin, Dick. I think the two of them look a lot alike and they really liked each other!
