Mother's Day, etc.

This was my first official Mother's Day. Not that I haven't been wished a Happy Mother's Day before, though. When you're single for as long as I was, it's bound to happen. This was the first year though that I didn't sheepishly return the well meant greeting with "Um, I'm not a mom. I'm not even married!" Sad, I know, but true. Thanks to Cooper, and the good Lord that sent him to me, I was able to gratefully reply, "Thank you!" Chris made it extra special for me, too, with the most beautiful flowers and sweetest card you ever saw. Awwww!

Mother's Day was a busy day! Cooper attended his first worship service at Sugar Creek Baptist Church. (Last time, we only made it to Sunday School.) He did great--fussed a tiny bit, but promptly fell asleep. And, slept through most of his first stay in the church nursery while we went to Sunday School! Afterwards, we went to lunch at the Chaddricks' home, where these first pics were taken. Later that evening, I went to a movie with some of the girls from our ABF class (Adult Bible Fellowship, AKA Sunday School). So, Cooper's first movie was "Baby Mama". He won't remember a thing, though. He fell asleep, then ate, then slept again.

Cooper is now 12 weeks old, and REALLY wants to be able to sit up on his own. He will hold his head steady if you pull him up from a laying position by his fingers, and he's able to sit in the "Bumbo" seat for a short period of time before slumping in exhaustion. :) We're still having a great time with him. He is such a happy guy (most of the time!) and has such a sweet disposition. He's growing fast, too! No official numbers until next month, but I weighed him at 13 lbs and Chris measured him between 24-25 inches.
