New pics of our angel!

Since thanksgiving is in 2 days I have been thinking a lot about what I am thankful for. I'm thankful for an angel baby that has brought so much joy into our lives. I'm thankful for our families and the love and support that they give us. And I'm thankful for the blessing of an eternal marriage and that I get to be with my best friend forever.

Home Sweet Home!

Where Devin sleeps (I'm up all night with Cooper=)

Welcome to our home. It's official We are now homeowners! YAY! after 2 years of renting we are so excited to have a house of our own! Especially since I don't get out much anymore because there are limited places we can take Cooper, at least I have a place all my own to be in! its the best!

He's getting so big!

We took Cooper to the Doctor on Tuesday and he now weighs 7 pounds 7 ounces! He has gained 4 pounds 4 ounces since he was born! He is getting so chubby, I love it! They also measured him and he is now 20.5 inches long- so he has grown 4 inches as well. He has been awake so much more lately. He loves to look at bright lights and just stares wide eyed at them. Devin has been really busy with school lately and we are counting down the days until this semester is over. I can't wait to spend almost a whole month with my sweetie! It will be the best to have him home. Also we are getting excited for Devin's little brother to get home from his mission in less than two weeks. Besides schoolwork we have just been enjoying watching our sweet baby grow and get to be a big boy!

A day in the Mountains

Last Saturday Dev and I went fourwheeling with his Dad and Aunt&Uncle. We went up in the mountains by Gunnison. It was beautiful up there, Next year I want to go before all the leaves fall. But even then the mountains were so pretty. I love living in Utah and feel so blessed to be able to just take off up the mountains and its only a fifteen minute ride to get there. Our four wheeler ride ended up being 4 hours long, longest ride I've ever been on but we had a great time!

The Joys of Motherhood

Today has been quite the eventful day. This morning I got spit up on twice and peed on twice while changing his diaper. Then this afternoon while I was trying out feeding Cooper (He has taken a liking to a bottle and refuses to nurse so I have been trying to nurse him once a week or so to see if he will go back) So while I was trying to nurse him he was kicking and scratching me and then in an attempt to get it away from him he pointed it at me and squirted me in the face with my own milk! So back to the bottle we went. I have officially decided that he likes the bottle and there is nothing I can do about it. At least he is still getting my milk in the bottle. Besides that I am letting him have his way on this one. Then tonight while I was changing his diaper after feeding him I was wiping him when he spit up a lot so I averted my attention to that to clean him up when he poops on me and all over his blanket. It was like projectile poo! So after today I have come to the conclusion that I need to wear a plastic bag over my clothes to protect me from all the baby bodily functions thrown my way. And I wouldn't trade it for the world! Being Cooper's Mommy is the best job. I wouldn't give away the opportunity to be with my little one everyday for anything. I am so blessed to be able to be a stay at home Mom. I love every second of it! even when I am covered in poop =)
