Cooper Daniel Ricks
I'd like to present Mr. Cooper Daniel Ricks. Is he not the cutest little guy ever? Dan and I are completely smitten with him and can't believe he is actually ours. We feel so blessed and grateful that he arrived healthy and safely. I thought I would post a bunch of different pictures of him as he's grown up the past 3 months. Above he is 1 day old and still in the hospital. Part of me just wishes he was this big all over again.
When Dan and I came home from the hospital, we were warmly welcomed by my mother with a clean house, and a gourmet lunch waiting for us. She was a dream! She kept me calm and took care of everything -from laundry to meals to night shifts. I honestly do not know what I would have done without her. She is simply wonderful.
We've had lots of visitors, and we made the trek down to Richmond 2 weeks after Coop was born for Easter.
Doesn't my husband look like a natural? If you only knew how great he has been with little Coop. I knew he would be good, but I had no idea he would be this good... And isn't he handsome? I just love this pic of him here (and especially the huge Easter Bunny behind him:).
Granny Sylvia and Biz came out a few days after Coop was born. They were heaven sent, and helped out with everything. We loved having them, and Coop was so sad when they had to leave.
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this pic of the two of them. They were hysterical giving Coop a bath! Boy does this little guy get TONS of attention!
All the cousins! Not easy to get them all to smile. I love how Theo's can't stop touching Coop's head. And Hunt is on the run!
Coop's first time in the pool. It was a little cold, and I still think he's deciding whether he likes it or not!
More pics to come...
