Cooper's 1st...I mean 4th Birthday!



Happy Birthday to my sweet leap year baby Cooper! It's hard to believe 4 years ago we were in a Manhattan hospital having our firstborn. It was even a bigger surprise when the doctor told me right after giving birth that he looked like he had down syndrome. What?!?! No one could've prepared us. But God wasn't surprised. In fact, through everything, I am most humbled by the fact that God trusted us enough to let us raise this precious treasure. Cooper is loud, silly, smart, funny, stubborn, loves cheese-its, Elmo, playing outside and music. He loves to take care of James, tackle him, feed him and chase him. He will complete his first full year of preschool in May where he has learned the alphabet and numbers 1-10. Cooper has no health or physical problems. We are so blessed and cannot imagine our family without this crazy blond 4 year old. Thank you Lord for my Cooper.
