Nesting

I guess since Lindsay never had time to engage in nesting, I did it for her.

I need to get some pictures of the other kids too but there are several pictures we really wanted to get of koop before he grew out of the curl stage. He has been so sweet but he really hates to be naked and doesn't want put down if he is... not really easy to get the pictures. Hopefully we will get some more tomorrow. Lindsay and I get really worn out trying to get him to sleep and do pictures.

Jocelyn has been a sweetie and a great helper when she hears you. I asked her to do something and she just ignored me. I confronted her for not listening and she said her hair was over her ears so she couldn't hear me.

Joseph is having a hard time with the baby thing... he LOVES Kooper but doesn't think it is fair that Chase is so little he still uses a high chair and is already a big brother and Joseph will never get to be a big brother. Kids!

Tire Guy

If your dad is a tire guy then you automatically become a tire guy, like it or not.

Kooper REALLY didn't want his picture taken on the tire. However, just as much as he didn't his mommy did want the picture so in the end they compromised and he got to be swaddled and she got to get the picture.

I Love this little boy

I have thought about poses and props for taking this little boy's picture for months! I am so happy to have him here and feel so blessed that he is healthy. I just didn't expect to be so tired when he got here. Not sure why since I didn't get very many pictures of Chase since I was way too tired then... you would think I would remember how much work it is to have a new baby around.

I had so much fun today taking his picture... what a joy he is!

The hardest part of getting his picture is he hates to be naked and he doesn't want to be put down. Other than that... argh... he was great!

Little Boy Blue

This is our Kooper Benjamin. He was born at 35 1/2 weeks because his mommy had preeclampsia and was not doing very well. They started inducing her Monday afternoon and he was born Tues. night. We were all concerned that he would be healthy but he came out healthy an beautiful! He is a sweet joy!

Day 2... First Vist

I took the kids to meet their baby brother and they fell INSTANTLY in LOVE with him!

They couldn't get enough of him.

There were lots of HUGS

and KISSES!

We all had to take turns holding him...

Uncle Joseph and Jocelyn even did their homework while visiting this new bundle of joy.

Kooper Benjamin

Kooper made his way into the world 10:12 Pm Tues Feb. 3. woooo hoooo!!

He weighed in at 5lbs 9oz

His head is 13 1/2 inches

his chest is 11 inches

and he is 19 inchs long!

More practice

My little sister had winter formal last night and asked me to take pictures... the lighting was really dark by the time the kids got there so that was a challenge but the table was set so pretty I couldn't help but to take a few pictures of it.

And then there was the fun shoes! I love them. Oh to be young again and be able to just have fun!
