Happy Birthday Cooper



My baby is 4 today.  FOUR.  That number does not even remotely warrant me using the term "baby."  And yet I do.  It seems like a lifetime ago that I was dealing with spit up and booger suctioning, bouncy seats and binkies and that yummy lotion after baths.  My house is now devoid of all those things!  No crib, no cupboard locks, no swing, no burpcloths, no naptimes.  Feels strange.  Wonderful and sad all at the same time.

And here comes the self-indulgent onslaught of insanely cute baby pictures!!!









 


 
This picture is not real.  Nope, they were NEVER this little.  What is this madness?










Somebody pass the tissues!
And let me sit around for four days stuffing my face and maybe some shopping.
That will feel better.

It's crazy how much he still looks like that little baby! I mean, even the shots of him in the hospital are straight-up Coop-a-doop! And you're right, he was definitely NEVER that little. These have all clearly been Photoshopped.

Oh he is such a precious though, even if he is growing up! I feel the same sadness. :( I hope he had a great birthday! We love and miss all of you!

Good thing his birthday is so close to Thanksgiving. Every year you can shop and eat to forget that he's growing. :) He's such a cute kid!

I can't believe it! Why does it seem so surprising that he's four?! What a cutie. I hope he has a great weekend and that you get some good retail therapy. :)

Aaawww. Happy Birthday to Cooper! He's got such a cute face. He looks so much like he did when he was born, just a little bit bigger now. :)
