Well, 2008 is coming to an end and what a year it's been. Six days into 2008 I found out I was pregnant, and here we are, almost in 2009 with a 3 1/2 month old precious little boy. I remember this time last year I was praying so strongly that I would get pregnant, trying to understand God's timing and put my own plan aside. I knew God would give us this gift when we were ready, but I had no idea how amazing and wonderful this journey would be...and I'm only three months in! 2008 has been so wonderful--full of joy, excitement, blessings, and of course a few nerves about being a mom. I'm looking forward to seeing my little angel grow in 2009!
Cooper had a great first Christmas, and we got to spend lots of time with friends and family. He really liked pulling the paper off of his presents, but I keep thinking about next year. I'm sure the paper will come flying off faster than we will be able catch it! Cooper even got to spend time with both Great Grandmothers over the holiday! Philip's grandmother lives in town and we got together with the Lamb crew for a BBQ dinner one night. And, my sweet 91 year old grandmother came down from Tennessee to spend time with us, and she just loved meeting Cooper--her seventh Great Grandchild! If Cooper only knew how precious and special that time was with such wonderful women.
With my grandmother (my dad's mom, Mary). Four generations!
With Philip's grandmother (his dad's mom, Betty).
Look what Santa left for me under the tree!
Our family on Christmas.
Look at these cute little slippers that my grandmother gave Cooper! Ho Ho Ho!
Cooper is really trying to roll over these days. He can roll from his tummy to his back, but it's a little more difficult rolling from him back to his tummy, but he sure is trying! He knows how to throw his body to one side and start to process. But then it's his shoulder that he can't quite figure out how to move. He'll be rolling in no time, I'm sure!
"Darn it. I didn't make it."
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. Happy, happy New Year!
