The time that I imagined for years and years of my early adult life is finally here. The day I get to take my first real "family" Christmas picture. The picture I get to have taken of my husband and I and our sweet baby boy. I always imagined sending out that Christmas card the year we had our first baby and what it would look like and say. Now the time is almost finally here. We are taking them the day after Thanksgiving. I can't wait. This weekend my goal is to go looking for a precious little outfit to dress Cooper in for our family shots. Hmmm? I haven't even really decided on a theme or color what we are all going to wear. So I have some work to do.
I have all of these ideas but I'm not sure what I'm going to go with.
This week has been good so far. Cooper is sleeping longer hours at night but still waking up for his 4-5:00 feeding. But he's getting better at going down around 11:00 and sleeping until then. Which really isn't bad. I'm not complaining, at least we are on the right track to sleeping all night long. :)
Cooper has also found the use of his legs, he wants to push off and stand all the time. He just loves for you to hold his little waist and he pushes off with those feet like such a big boy. He just stands so tall (of course we are holding nice and tight to his tiny little waist) but he thinks he's such a big boy. Its adorable.
He is just so much fun and I've realized that he is by far in the very best of moods every morning at about 6:30 when we wake him up to get him ready for Nana's house. He just smiles all morning long. He looks around and smiles up a storm. Its the best ever to watch and just smile back and it truly starts my day out so good every day. I just love love love him.
This weekend, well actually tomorrow afternoon we are going to visit my parents and brothers. I'm really looking forward to spending some time with them. Its my dads birthday and I just love and adore him so much, I'm so glad we are going to be able to go and celebrate with him. Happy birthday Dad!
I will be posting pics from our fun weekend and also I'm off work on Monday. I took a day of vacation because my vacation runs out on December first and starts back over so if I don't use it I loose it. I have one day left so I took this coming Monday so I could spend a mommy and Coop day together. I'll take pics of our special day and post how it goes. I'm looking forward to our time together.
Hope you all have a great weekend.

Cooper is such a cutie!!! He is growing so fast :)
I found your blog because you also commented on a blog I did and your name- meant to be a mom-caught my eye! Your post almost brought me to tears thinking about my first Christmas with our first baby. There is nothing like it. As you will find all the firsts are very special but when they are your first with your first child, there is truly nothing like it. I hope that made sense! Anyway Cooper is such a cutie!! Enjoy picture taking! It only gets harder as they get older and can move around more!
I am looking for our Christmas cards right now!!! :)
Its pretty awesome to be a family of THREE on the car this year!
Have a great weekend!
Thanks for the comment Brianne, Come by and visit anytime. I hear people talk about time passing so fast and to cherish the moments and I'm definitely trying to do that. We are just happy to have our little Cooper, he truly is a blessing.
I feel the same way about family pictures! The first family pictures and Christmas card is a big deal!! Were doing ours this weekend too!
Aww how fun a first family picture! I can't wait for that!
I love doing Christmas cards! They are so fun to receive too! Coopers black onesie is adorable. What a funny cute little saying!
Cooper is so adorable and growing so fast! I cannot imagine the excitement that you are feeling for your first family Christmas! It gets better and better each year! Have a great time with your family this weekend!!
Yay! So glad you get a family picture now. One of my best friends struggles with PCOS and we're just waiting on the day that she can become a mom too.
Congrats on getting your dream, he is gorgeous!
Christmas cards are fabulous! We're going to shoot ours next week...I wonder what the chances of getting three kids to look cute and at the camera at the same time are!? One of the cutest baby Christmas cards I ever saw was this one w/ the baby in the stocking. Adorable. Your little Cooper is so adorable too!!
Cute pictures...my kids were waving at your baby! Have a great time with your first Christmas card...so fun!

Love his shirt!! Isn't it so exciting that it is "our turn" we are there, and we are planning FAMILY photos and are excited for Christmas. Somehow though, my heart is still aching so much for those who are not here yet. We have so very much to be Thankful this year.
