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. 

Professional Pictures - 1 month

My aunt Kim came to our house to take some professional pictures of Cooper.  They turned out adorable!!  Here is a few of our favorites.

I'll have to admit, our son is ADORABLE!  But, I may be a little biased.

Smile!

Smile! I just wanted to share the photos of one of Cooper's first smile sessions. He tends to have a couple good smiley sessions everyday. It makes my heart melt.

We love him so much!!

One Month

One Month old already!

I just can't believe it. Here are some photos to show his growth process.
