New Baby, Big Brother, and One Proud Mama!

Finally! Keegan is a big brother!  We all got to meet Cooper. And Mama can shave her legs again! Whoop whoop! Cooper made his entry into the world on Tuesday, July 29 at 5:30 am. He came out screaming and immediately stole our hearts! He weighed 7 lbs 10 oz and was 19.5 inches long...a tiny peanut compared to when his chubby brother was born!

Leading up to the big day, Mommy had tried about everything to get this show on the road. Needless to say Keegan benefited from trips to the zoo and park for walking, and pool days for relaxing. 

Playing at the park and at the zoo!

 Cheesing away one morning, wondering if maybe that day would be the day Cooper was born

Pool Day!

 Took a trip to "Go Kids Gym" and he had a blast! He has asked several times to go back and play

Mommy and Keegan at 39 weeks heading to Church

 Aunt Cari and cousins Jace and Lexa decided they could no longer stand the anticipation and headed to Omaha on Sunday to wait for Cooper's arrival...luckily they timed it perfect and helped so that Keegan never missed a beat!

Jace is basically Keegan's hero..and he ran to find clothes that looked just like Jace's!

 And finally..on to Cooper! 13 hours of labor and 1.5 hours of pushing was nothing in comparison to Keegan's birth....and worth every minute!

First bath

 One proud big brother....meeting Cooper for the first time and giving him Spidey Bear he made him

 Grandma F. and Cooper..and Spidey...because Keegan is certain Cooper will cry without him

Daddy and Cooper doing some snuggling!

Clean bill of health = going home after 24 hours

              Fair to say Cooper didn't go unloved or untouched when he got home

He is truly so proud and excited to have Cooper here finally...and he is handling change like a champ!

 Keegan and Mommy had a date to watch Frozen which ended like this....for Mommy too actually

Always taking care of him

Just precious during his first few days of life

Milk Coma....he is a true snuggler if there ever was one

We are so happy to have Cooper here at last! Keegan is already such a great big brother and Cooper is going with the flow..so far. He will snuggle and cuddle all day long (and so we are!) and has yet to show us his eyes for more then about 10 seconds at a time. Lots of pictures will be taken so tune back soon!

It's July!

Hooray, it's July! This is exciting for many reasons...summer is in full swing, we got to celebrate the 4th of July, and this is (hopefully) the month Cooper will make his debut! We have a lot of pictures from the last few weeks so enjoy!

Keegan hanging with Harley while the mommies ate pizza

 Last weekend we packed up and headed to Kansas City to celebrate Aunt Megan graduating with her Masters...way to go Aunt Megan!  Keegan also got to spend some time with his good pals, Faith and Charity
             
Eating at "Fritz's" in KC--you order your phone from a phone in the booth and a train brings your food! Needless to say it was a little slice of heaven in Keegan's eyes

Watching a movie with his friends

Headed out to Deanna Rose Farmstead

Learning how to milk a cow using a bucket

Sitting and watching a live demonstration of milking a cow...this was the end of all milk drinking for Mommy

Starting off the 4th of July a night early with some sparklers!

Day #1 of the weekend at the pool

Keegan headed to build a bear to make Cooper a bear to bring him in the hospital...he gave him a bath after building him...

Somewhat questionable who he actually made the bear for....in the beginning it was all about Cooper...then it became a bear to share...then it became "Cooper gets it for 5 mins then I get it for 5 mins"...and now it's "this is my bear until Cooper comes out." Mommy foresees another $25 spidey bear being built in the near future...

Playing at the mall....don't tell Daddy he doesn't allow us to do this because of all the germs

Ice cream date!

Day #2 at the pool...taking a snack break!

Keegan has another fun weekend coming up planned with a pool date with his friend, Landon and going to "railroad days" where he gets to see all kinds of trains and ride in them, too!
