3 Weeks Old!!!

It is amazing that three weeks have already passed since Cooper graced us with his presence! He is still doing great and growing by the minute. We took him to the doc this past friday and he weighed in at 8lb 11 oz, which is closer to his birthweight, and a healthy weight gain according to the doc. The pediatrician also said that he is probably big enough that, should we be so blessed, Cooper could sleep through the night and not have to be awakened! We'll keep everyone posted on that subject, but we are not holding our breath right now! As for an update on baby momma, Sherri was the unlucky recipient of a fun case of mastitis last week. Last monday morning at 5am, she woke up with a fever of 101.7! Apparently mastitis includes the fever, flu-like symptoms, and a pounding headache...all of which did not go away until Thursday! Thanks to some TLC from the grandparents last week she got better and is feeling 100% better now! And we are now in preparation for Cooper's first trip to Kansas! We are hoping to make the 8 hour trip with our 4-week-old on Christmas Eve! Should be fun times I'm sure. Hope everyone has a great Christmas if we don't talk to you before then!



He is starting to like the swing a little better each day!

Dancing away in the living room! This is one of mom's favorite method's of calming a cranky Cooper!




All us guys just hangin out!

Cooper is getting his first REAL bath, submerged in water! Such fun! I think he likes it!



Madison was so excited to hold "her" baby! I think Cooper better watch out, the older women are already after him!

Lacey is such a natural!

Gotta love those lazy mornings!

Patiently awaiting Santa Claus!

Alan -
Saw your mom and dad at Laurie Issinghoff's funeral service today - they filled me in on you, your dental practice, and the new baby Cooper - they're proud to say the least!
Checked out the blog - it's truly the start of the hardest and most amazing job you'll ever have...parenthood! Our "babies" are 21 and 17 now!
I will keep up with you and your world on your blog! Just wanted to say hi from your favorite first grade teacher!!
Have a great Christmas!
Mrs. Holderness :)
