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!

Here's a link to more of our photos on Kodak Gallery!

It's certainly not Fruit Loops!

Sorry for the delay between posts! The days speed by faster and faster....

Here are a couple of new pictures of Cooper. We're looking forward to his 4 month visit to the Doctor next week so we can get an official weight and height. BUT, we know that he's HUGE! If clothing sizes are any indication, he's almost out of 9 month outfits!

And, we tried cereal for the first time on Saturday. As you can tell by the pictures below, he wasn't really too sure what to do with it. We laughed a lot as he was trying to figure it all out. I'll post a short video too so you can get the full effect!

Mom and I are taking Cooper on his first plane trip to Dallas this weekend. We're visiting family and celebrating my Great-Aunt's 93rd Birthday. I'll post more pictures when we get back from the trip!
Take care!
Love,
Kiersten, Cooper and Chad too

He's also teething, you might be able to see the drool!
Here's the Happy-Before-Picture!


Here's the What-The-Heck is this picture!

Here's the video so you can see just how much he liked it!

Cooper at 3 months

Here are some pictures of Cooper at 3 months old! WOW, has he changed! You can see that by the rolls on his chubby little legs!
I thought he was a little young to be sticking his tongue out at the camera, but I guess not.

We call this his male model pose, isn't he handsome?!?!

This is a picture of Cooper and our Goddaughter, McKenzie Jo. She kept calling him "Tooper" and "my baby". We didn't know what she'd think of him (and having to share our attention) but, it looks like she's just as crazy about him as the rest of us. And, for those of you that know the story of McKenzie Jo's miraculous birth and life -- she's doing GREAT! Absolutely amazing. They took her traech out in mid-May. She still has the feeding tube, but is eating more and more on her own all the time. She's so smart, and getting into EVERYTHING. They spent the 4th with us and we all had a great time!

Take care!

4th of July 2008

Cooper had a very happy 4th of July! As you can see by this picture!He didn't seem to mind any of the fireworks on the 3rd or the 4th.

Here he is being quite patriotic!

Hope you all had a very happy 4th of July!

XOXO,

Quick Cooper Post

Cooper's had a big month!



Over 15 lbs and 24.5" tall. Nearly grown out of 6 month clothes when he turned 3 months old on Monday. WOW!

He's so sweet and cute and such a wonderful personality.

Long story behind this picture, he was supporting daddy at the golf tournament, but he looks good!

We took a little trip to Tablerock Lake in Missouri with Chad's mom and dad last week. He got really sleepy on the boat.

Such a nice little get away. He was so good and such a fun traveler.

I'll post more soon!

Love,

Cooper's Baptism Blessing

We had a wonderfully blessed day! We celebrated Cooper's baptism with friends and family at our church in Seward. It is such a miracle and just another example of how incredibly blessed we are to have him in our lives.

You can see all of our pictures on Koday Gallery.

Pastor Jim baptizes Cooper.

Cooper's Godparents are Kevin and Laurie Sagehorn. Here they are with their kids: Josh, Ellie and Sam. (Sam is 10 months old and also our Godson!)

Cooper takes a nap in Grandpa's lap at the Country Club brunch after baptism.

Now, he's just hanging out in his bouncy seat after a BIG day!

God's Blessings to You!

Love, Cooper, Chad and Kiersten
