This kid loves to talk.  Here's a video of it.  :)  He makes me smile!

3 Month Professional Photos

We made a last minute decision to get Cooper's 3 month photos taken.  It was also a last minute decision to have both Brad and I in the photos.  Sears did a great job though!  We went in during a snow storm, thank goodness we were living in town.

Let me know what you think!  I just can't help to think what a handsome, happy little boy we have!

3 Months Old

Times are going fast.  We have a very happy little 3 month old on our hands.  He is always moving and smiling more now.  He even giggles!

Sometimes I think I'm not ready for another, but sometimes I think I could do this again now.  If it wasn't for daycare, I'd have 4 kids - as long as they are as easy as Cooper.  But everyone keeps telling me that that won't happen. 

We had Berger & Chelsea's wedding the first weekend in December.  We had a great time.  Cooper and Jason spent time with Grandma Grace & Grandpa Stan.  Thanks GG.

Here are some updated photos.

Hunter already, maybe!



So smiley during Chelsea & Berger's Wedding

First Laugh (and Photos, or course!)

Here are some photos and a video.

Ebbinga Family Christmas

We always have our Ebbinga Family Christmas early because (Great) Grandma & Grandpa leave for Arizone for the winter.  We're okay with have the christmas early because we have TOO many Christmases to go to anyway.

Cooper got so much lovin' during this get-together.  For a lot of people, this was the first time they'd seen him.  And for most, it was the last time they were going to see him in a long time. 

My aunt Kim doesn't like to take photos at all.  ;-)

2 Month Check-Up

Our little boy is 7 weeks old already.  We had our 2 month check-up a little early because on Monday, he'll be going to daycare and I'll be going back to work.  I have mixed feelings about going back.  I absolutely love spending all day with him, but I'm ready to start a new chapter in my life at US Bank.  We picked out a wonderful daycare.  We have no worries about leaving him. 

At his appointment, he was 11lbs 10oz and 23.5 inches long.  He's growing very well.  The poor little guy had to get his shots too.  He did okay.  They had two nurses, each had a needle.  I made Brad come to hold his arms.  I did not want to be the one to have to hold him down.  You could tell that he wasn't feeling the greatest when we got home.  His legs were sore.  He just wanted to be cuddled.  After we gave him a warm bath, he felt much better.  I'm just glad that he doesn't have to do it again for 2 months!

Introducing: Cooper John

My aunt Kim is AMAZING!  She created birth announcments for us.  I defintely saved us time and money.  She is so creative and really good at what she does.
