And then there were three...


On March 30, 2011 at 7:03 am - we officially welcomed Cooper to our family! He was a bit early but everything checked out just fine! He weighed in at 7 lbs 4 oz and was 20.25 inches long... which happen to be the exact same measurements as his big brother!

It was a long and hard labor and for several hours the night before I was afraid they might just send me home! Finally around midnight we were officially admitted and began the long night of no sleep.
He was worth it though!
He was not a fan of his first bath!
Later in the morning he had the chance to meet his big brother and big sister! This big brother is particularly fond of little Cooper!
This big sister likes to touch Cooper's eyes. It can be rather frustrating! She can NOT be gentle with him... she just gets too excited!
Sometimes she has to get in trouble for poking his eyes... it's not pretty!

When we got home there was a welcoming committee in the front yard!

They couldn't wait to get their hands on him!


He's a great baby and is certainly loved! I think he will fit in quite nicely!
