FINALLY AN UPDATE!!!

Daddy time!!! Things have been a little busy lately so I haven't been able to update for a while. Sorry! I have posted a ton of pictures though and there will be more soon.



Look at that sweet little boy! He is the cutest thing. I just love him to death.



My big boy is sitting up!!!



Mommy and Cooper having fun. We were waiting for Matt to get home and were extremely board.



Cooper always has a hold of his toes. They are his favorite!



Silly Cooper!



Cooper already learning to play with daddy's football.



Who keeps making Cooper look so funny???



This was Cooper's first time up the canyon. It was the annual Kevern family reunion. Matt had to work the whole time which was a bummer, but it was nice to see my family. It was one of the coldest camping trips of my life. In this picture it was noon...and still freezing! I wasn't ever able to stay the night up there so I didn't have to worry about keeping Cooper warm during the night, which was nice. Cooper sure did like all of the trees!



Cooper playing in his jump-a-roo first thing in the morning.




Cooper's 6 month pictures. SIX months!! I can't believe he is half way to a year. Time is going by too fast. He was being a little stinker. It was the hardest thing to get him to smile at the camera. He was staring right at it but wouldn't smile. I am hoping the photographer got a few that worked. My mom came and took these pictures for us.



We also took new family pictures while we were out.



This one turned out really cute on the photographers camera. I am excited to post them as soon as I get them.



Look closely and you can see hair!!!!!



Cooper is playing with his stuffed dog.



The is my sister Vanee and I with Cooper at Deer Creek yesterday. We had so much fun. I hadn't been boating in the longest time. It was sooo much fun to go tubing again. Matt had to work so he wasn't able to come up at all. I felt so bad. It would have been the greatest trip ever if he could have been with us. I am so greatful for a husband that works so hard to provide for our family.



The beech at Deer Creek is a little different than Bear Lake. We got a little muddy!



Cooper's first boating trip and he loved it!!!!! He thought it was the greatest thing. This is us on our way back to the marina. Thanks fam for the fun day at the lake!!!

Coleman Family reunion in Bear Lake

Matt and I couldn't imagine life any better! Cooper has truly brought so much happiness to our lives. It is so much fun to watch him grow. He has the cutest personality and makes Matt and I laugh constantly. I have been so bless to have the greatest husband in the world and the greatest son in the world. I am so grateful I get to spend eternity with them.



This is Cooper and Brooklyn taking a bath after a long day at the beach in Bear Lake. They are one month apart. We got some good pictures they will love us for when they are older :)



Cooper taking a nap after playing hard in the lake.



I was so nervous to go out on the wave runner! I hadn't been on one for years so I was a little scared. I drove it first and warmed up quickly to it. Then Matt wanted a turn driving so I let him after I made him promise he wouldn't go as fast as the machine would allow and that he wouldn't turn it while going full speed. Matt promised and two seconds after he started driving, we were flying through the lake and doing circles like crazy. I immediately started screaming and Matt yells, "YOU'LL THANK ME LATER!!!" I was mad at the moment but that didn't last for long. I really did have so much fun out on the lake with him.



Matt took the wave runner out during a huge wind storm. Apparently he was getting around 5 feet in the air jumping that thing. It was a good thing I wasn't out there. I would have been so nervous. He was having a blast. When he got back he said that was the funnest thing he had done in a long time. I am so happy he had so much fun. Thank you so much mom and dad!!!!



Good thing Matt had his floates on!!! :) Our family was really easy to spot on the lake. We glow!!!



This is Cooper's crab. Cooper was nervous about the lake at first but he warmed up to it quickly. He stayed in this crab for about a half hour. I am so glad he loved it so much!



This is me, Cooper and Brooklyn hanging out on the beach.



We were ready to go play!



Do you think Matt got enough??? I think he might have needed a little more.



Matt was having fun putting the sunscreen on Cooper.



This is Cooper and my mom hanging out before we left for our trip. My mom went through major withdrawls missing Cooper. We were gone for 4 days.



Cereal!!!

Look at how my cute my baby sleeps. Maybe he thought it was a little too bright. That really is the cutest thing! He always has to have his hands on his face some how. They are definitely his comfort. Some kids have a stuffed animal or a blanky, but Cooper just wants his hands.

Finally an update...Sorry!

This is Matt and Cooper on Matt's birthday. Happy Birthday babe!!!



Cooper loves to be a bug. He thinks it is pretty funny!



Look at how Cooper sleeps. Does that look comfortable to anyone? He arches his head back as far as it will possibly go. Speaking of sleeping. Now that Cooper is rolling over (Hurray for Cooper) he is killing me during the night. He always starts on his side and then rolls to his stomach during the night and screams bloody murder. He also wants his binky put back in his mouth every time it falls out. I was up with him 12 times the other night. Putting him back on his back and putting the binky back in his mouth. So, last night we wedged him in his crib pretty good so he couldn't roll over and did the tough love thing and made him realize that he can comfort himself back to sleep. I hated it so bad but I know I will appreciate it later. I figure it will be easier now than when he is older.



Cooper during tummy time. He is only rolling from his back to his stomach. He hasn't figured out how to roll from his tummy to his back, so we are working on that.



Cooper and my mom's dog Gidgit were having a staring contest. It lasted for a few minutes. It was pretty funny.



Cooper and I went to my nephews baseball game. It was so much fun to watch the little guys. They are four years old so half of them are throwing their mits in the air and catching them, and rolling on the ground. It really is the cuttest thing to watch. That cute little girl is my neice Braylyn.



This is Cooper and Brooklyn, his cousin (Jamie, Matt's sisters little girl). They were eating each others hands. They are a little over a month apart. Hopefuly they will be great friends.



This is Cooper and his cousin Tripp. Tripp is my brother Daniel's little boy. They are exactly 3 months apart to the day. Cooper kept hitting Tripp in the head when we were trying to take this picture so sorry Tripp is a little covered. It was the best one I could get. I can already picture these two getting into lots of trouble together in a few years.



Yea for the Lehi Rodeo!!! We took Matt's Parents to the rodeo this year. It was so much fun. Cooper has his 4 month shots that day though so he wasn't the happiest camper.



Cooper and his Grammy and Papa Coleman!

While we were taking this picture, the food really fell out of Matt's mouth. It was pretty funny!



What handsome boys!!!!



Matt is the best Dad ever. He is so amazing with Cooper and Cooper just loves him!!!




I promise I don't have shoulder pads on. I put the burp rag over my flower. Ops!



This is my cute Grandma Linford. I sure do love her!



And there is the bride.



Missy has is one of my greatest friends. Her wedding was so beautiful. I am so happy for her.



Cooper and I came home the other night and when we walked in, this is what we saw. Do you think his grandma spoils him, hmmmmm. He sure does love it!



We went to my nephews baseball game the other day so i was able to put Cooper in some cute stuff. Sarah's mom made that hat for Cooper. It is the cuttest thing ever! Thanks Karen



Look at those blue eyes. Man he is cute!!!

My poor husband!

So most of you know that I have always talked and walked in my sleep. Well, the other night Matt woke up so tired and I couldn't figure out why.

Matt fell asleep around 1:30 am. At 2:30 he woke up to me shaking him and yelling his name. He was very groggy and just asked what I needed. I told him in a panic that we forgot to brush Coopers teeth. Matt proceeded to tell me that Cooper didn't have teeth. I got very frustrated and told him that he did have teeth and it is not acceptable for us to forget to brush them. To try and get me to shut up, Matt told me that he did brush Cooper's teeth and that we didn't need to do it again. Apparently that made me upset because I then told him he was lying to me and he was only saying that because he was lazy and didn't want to get up and do it. So I went to get Cooper out of bed and Matt grabbed me and put me back in bed and my head on my pillow and I was out. Weird!!!

Around 3:30 I woke up again, this time completely sitting up and hitting Matt. Matt was even more groggy and asked what I needed this time. I guess I started patting the bed where I always change Cooper's diaper and told Matt that I needed to change his diaper :) Matt didn't think it was funny at all and told me that he didn't have a diaper. I was very frustrated with him and told him that he did, and that it needed to be changed. I told him that I needed the practice. He told me that I changed Cooper's diapers all the time and that I didn't need any more practice. I then told him that there was an older kid in our primary that still wasn't potty trained and that I was now responsible for changing his diapers (not true). So...I needed practice changing a big diaper. Makes since right... I guess I was pretty persistent telling Matt that I really needed to change his diaper. At this point, I woke up and realized what I was saying. I started laughing so hard. I was rocking back and forth while Matt rolled over and didn't make a sound. It only was about 30 seconds later and I was back asleep.

At 4:30 I woke Matt up to make Cooper his bottle and he wouldn't wake up for me. It was like pulling teeth to get him up which was really unusual. Later that morning at 5:30 I woke up to get ready for work and realized what had happened during the night and was laughing the whole time I was getting ready. I had to wake Matt up to see if it was true. So at 6:30 I woke Matt up to see if that really happened. Needless to say, Matt wasn't very happy with me. He is still doesn't think any of this is funny. The poor guy. Hopefully he will think it is funny soon.

Finally...

COOPER HAS HIS TUBES!!! Cooper got his tubes on Thursday. It was the saddest thing Matt and I have ever seen. He had a really hard time coming out of the anesthesia. He cried forever which broke our hearts. It has taken him a while to recover from the surgery but yesterday and today, he has been the BEST baby ever. I don't even know what to do with myself. He will lie down and hang out without someone right by him which he has never done before. He is so much happier. You can just tell he feels so much better. What would we do without modern medicine?

Besides the surgery, Cooper is almost rolling over and he is holding his own bottle. He is growing up so fast. It is crazy how fast they grow. I can't seem to grasp each stage enough. What a blessing he has been to our lives. We couldn't have imagined a better miracle. Here are some pictures of the little cutie!

If you look really closely you can see spiked peach fuss. He is extremely bald. I admidt, I did shave the back of his head but that was only because it was the only hair he had...litterally. It looked like a red mullet and I couldn't let stay any longer. Sorry Buba!



This is Cooper's starting position for rolling over. Look at those thighs :)!!!!



Cooper has this new thing where his hands are always at this mouth. It is his comfort. 90% of the time that is where his hands will be. It really is the cutest thing ever!



He is starting to actually fit in his bumbo chair now!



What a big kid. I can't believe he is already holding his own bottle.



Crazy dad! When Cooper was first born his whole head would have fit in Matt's mouth.



Kisses for Daddy!



Kisses for Mommy!



Cooper thought it was the coolest thing that he could ride on my back.



Handsome!!!



Cooper sure is loved!!!
