Happy Birthday!

We can't believe Cooper is one year old today! What a difference a year makes.....This time last year I was stuck in a hospital bed as Jeremy and Cooper were headed off...and now he is as healthy as a horse! Those first few weeks he would fall asleep on my chest and his little feet would kick my incision (I didn't care)...and now he falls asleep on my chest and his little feet hang almost to my knees (I still don't care)! Jeremy and I worked so hard to capture those first smiles...and now that precious smile is there all the time! He had his colic and cried and cried and cried and cried and cried....and now he is as happy as he can be! It was a struggle to get him to take his bottle....and now he scarfs down almost any food (he definitely gets that from his momma)! He was so tiny (wearing premie clothes) and fragile...now he is big and walking and talking and getting into everything! We were waking up every 2-3 hours to tend to him...and now he sleeps through the night (most of the time).
It is amazing how fast the last year has flown by and how big he has gotten and how much has changed! I know it will continue to fly by! We love our beautiful 1 year old big boy!!!!
I am on vacation today to spend the day with Cooper for his birthday. We are going to go have a picnic for lunch and play outside a little bit! I will post some pictures a little later when I can get them loaded. His big birthday party is going to be on Saturday and we can't wait!
