A few baby updates.

Baby #3 Update: 24 Weeks

Baby Lamb #3 is...

A Boy and His Dog

Cooper and Drake have a special bond.  And I'm seeing it grow more and more as Cooper gets older.  He loves that dog so much, and I find him several times a day curled up with his best buddy.

Baby #3 Update: 24 Weeks

24 weeks.  Not sure how we got to this point so quickly, but here we are!  I feel like it's finally really, really hitting me that we are going to have another baby.  A third baby.  A third boy.  (I know, I know, it seems late to have that "hitting me" feeling, but in my defense, I've only known about this pregnancy for 13 weeks, so really...)

I had my monthly doctor appointments, and everything is looking great!  Baby weighed about 1.25 pounds, with a heartbeat in the 140s.  And he sure moved a lot!  That was great to see because I haven't been feeling as much movement with this baby as I have with the other two.  And, at one point during the sonogram, I really think he waved at me.  I had the best sono technician, who captured lots of great pictures, so I'll get those scanned and put them here, too.  But, I can assure you that Little One is just as cute as he can be.  He has the cutest little face that literally melted my heart when I got that first good glimpse at it.  So sweet and perfect.  Round cheeks, but not as round and chubby as Austin's always were during sonograms (well, not yet, at least).  And the most perfect profile.  I can't wait to see that sweet face in person.    

Cooper is really excited about another baby brother.  He thinks we should name the baby either "Pilot" or "Fireman Sam."  If you ask him, he's always consistent with those answers, too.  My tummy gets lots of kisses and hugs from Coop these days, always unprovoked by me.  This Little One sure is lucky to not only have ONE but TWO big brothers who will love him so.  Austin, of course, has no clue what's going on.  He just continues to be his joyous, happy little self, without a care in the world.  

Fireman Cooper Turns Four

Yep, it's six months late, but here they are.  :)

Fireman Cooper's 4th Birthday Party

Happy 4th Birthday, Fireman Cooper!

I See You...

Have I posted this yet??  I'm so far behind, I can't remember.  Austin went through the cutest little phase where he would come around a corner, crouch down like this and give whoever he saw the biggest smile he could.  Almost if to say, "I see you, come and get me!"  So. Darn. Cute.

Cutting Firewood

One of Coop's favorite things to do this fall was to go with Daddy to find firewood, load it up in the car and help cut it into pieces when they got back home.  And, of course, Coop always made sure to wear his "farmer/rancher" clothes when doing this work.

 Austin Boo worked in the garden while big brother helped Daddy.

Just Because He's Cute

I took these back in November and forgot to post them.  He found a roll of toilet paper and thought it was just about the most entertaining toy around.
