6 weeks and 3 days old. That's how old my son was the first time he smiled back at me and his daddy. We got to see this together, experience it together for the first time. It was Halloween day and we were in Norman visiting my parents and my mom was holding Cooper on the couch talking to him. I decided to go join her so we both sat talking and smiling at him and suddenly a corner of his mouth went up. I screamed for Julian to come join us and I told him that It looked like he wanted to smile at us. We all three talked and smiled and sure enough he looked at us and then suddenly a huge smile came across his face. Followed by many others in the seconds following. It was the most beautiful little smile I've ever seen in my life. This is the first time he's ever responded to us with a smile. It was such a great experience. None of us could get up though to go get our camera so we were unable to capture the first smiles on a picture or video. We will be keeping it near so we can get it soon though and share it with everyone.

Halloween was fun. My husband went to the OU game with my brother and my parents and Aunt, Cousin and I and Coop stayed home and watched it on tv. We had a great night hanging out with everyone and towards the end of the night we put Cooper in his costume. He was a giraffe. SO CUTE. He looked so cuddly and sweet. We took a few pictures and then it was time for bed for him so we had to take him out of it for bath time and night night.
Norman didn't do Halloween Saturday night. Since the big college OU football game was going on that evening the city of Norman changed the holiday to Friday night. It was weird because we weren't there on Friday night and then Saturday night wasn't Halloween there so we sort of missed Halloween this year. I didn't get to see any cutie pie kids coming up to the door saying TWICK OR TWEET! I'm sort of sad but oh well. Next year Julian and I will take Cooper to a few houses by ours and it will feel like a real Halloween.

We did have a great weekend though with my parents. Since I love to share pictures with everyone here are a few pics of our weekend.
