6 weeks!

This is what happens when there is a blizzard outside and the dog needs to go out and the baby is crying and I'm the only one home:

A snow covered dog.
Obviously the baby gets first priority and the dog gets put outside to do her business until I can let her back in.

We've been having so much fun with Cooper! He is now 6 1/2 weeks old...crazy how fast time is flying. It sure didn't fly this fast when we were waiting for him to come!


At 5 weeks Daddy got to feed him his first bottle! Priceless!

He gets cuter and cuter everyday and is growing like a weed! He's also starting to get a little smiley (even though it isn't evident in these pictures)!



Jake is an AMAZING dad! He's changed just as many diapers as I have and has been a huge help around the house cleaning and fixing meals. He's great to jump up in the middle of the night when Cooper cries and is always willing to help put him to sleep. I honestly don't know what I would do without him. I don't know how I got so lucky to have these 2 in my life!



Cooper had his first experience being man of the house last night and today! Jake went on a short biking trip to St. George. I can't lie, I was a little nervous about the whole being home alone for that long....sounds ridiculous I know, it's just a little nerve-racking knowing you don't have any back up reinforcements. Luckily we had a great night! Cooper has been sleeping very good, only waking up usually one time a night. Overall he is a really good baby.


Unfortunately, in a week from today I have to go back to work. I'm dreading the day. It has been the best thing in the world to be home with Cooper. I thought at first I might go a little stir crazy, but it wasn't like that at all. I've loved every second of it and have appreciated the time I've had to spend with Cooper. I absolutely LOVE being a mom!


I do believe in love at first sight, because that's exactly what happened when we saw Cooper for the first time. Everyday we love him more and more. We are just trying to cherish every minute because he is growing and changing so fast! We are so blessed to have Cooper in our home!
